Kalb's Q&A for Contractors Week of 6/6/11By David Kalb, President of Capitol Services, Inc.
A major change in California contractor licensing is coming. S-l-o-w-l-y. Another contractor helps ‘clear up’ some general rules on partnerships. As we have advised before honesty is the best policy when applying for a contractor’s license…
Q: We have an existing Partnership license; however, my company would like to add me as a new partner. I am a little ‘fuzzy’ on our ability to get my “B” license added to the “A” license. Would this require that we apply for a new partnership? Can I be added as another partner and bring my General Building license in? What are my options?A: The CSLB will not allow an existing General Partnership to add (or for that matter subtract) a partner. This would change the partnership and require you to apply for a new license. If applying for a new license you have the op-tion of listing as many partners as you wish. As we discussed, these can be entities like a corporation and/or indi-viduals like you. As an individual you must either be designated as a full partner (i.e. ‘Qualifying partner’) or RME (Responsible Managing Employee). As we also discussed, a RME is NOT a partner. There are exceptions to the above. The CSLB will allow a General Partnership (GP) to replace its RME without being required to apply for a new license. Further, a ‘Limited Partnership’ (LP) can replace the “limited” partner and maintain its existing license.
Q: What’s the latest information on getting a license for a Limited Liability Company (LLC)? I represent an out-of-state LLC who is interested in applying for a CA contractor’s license. I know the new law allows the Contractors Board to issue a LLC license but understand this hasn’t taken place as yet. Can you provide me with an update regarding where this stands? Thank you.
A: I continue to get calls and emails regarding the licensure of Limited Liability Companies (LLC). As referenced in a prior column, last year the State legislature passed and the Governor signed legislation allowing the CSLB to issue a license to a LLC. While the law took effect January 1, 2011, it is not due to be implemented until the end of December (January 1, 2012 at the latest).
Unlike all other contractor licenses, LLC licenses will be required to: 1) maintain a $100,000 surety bond (rather than the normal $12,500 contractors bond); 2) maintain liability insurance coverage of at least $1 million (which is not a current requirement for licensure). According to recently enacted Code Section 7071.6.5, the increased bond requirement is “for the benefit of any employee damaged by his or her employer’s failure to pay wages, interest on wages, or fringe benefits and is intended to serve as an additional safeguard for workers employed by or contract-ed to work for a Limited Liability Company”.
Q: I’m applying for a new contractor’s license. My Sole Owner license was issued over 20 years ago and I recently incorporated. I see on the application where they’re asking about my criminal background and I’m worried because I had 2 DUI’s when I was in my early 20’s. These are the only incidents in my background but I don’t believe I mentioned this on my first application. I have never had a complaint against my license. Do you think the Contractors Board will hold this against me?
A: I doubt the Contractors Board will hold this against you. According to my discussions with CSLB personnel, yours would not be the first application since 2005 (when fingerprinting was implemented) where a contractor came clean about his past criminal background. If these incidents over 25 years ago are the only ones on your record, you should receive this new license without any difficulty. To paraphrase a familiar line, ‘the truth shall set you free.’

SAFETY TOPIC: DUST EXPLOSIONS
When combustible or non-combustible materials are broken down into fine dusts or powders, they create a fire and explosion hazard affecting many operations and materials: sugar, flour, animal feed, plastics, paper, wood, rubber, furniture, textiles pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints and resins, dyes, coal, and metals.
To prevent fires from dust explosions, control the “dust explosion pentagon.” This includes the traditional fire triangle: fuel, heat, and oxygen along with a dust cloud and enclosed space. Keep dust levels (fuel) in the workplace to a minimum with dust control and housekeeping. Control flame and ignition sources (heat) such as pilot lights, open flames, hot equipment, and static electricity. Never allow smok-ing in the worksite.
Due to the hazard of dust explosions, CalOSHA Title 8, Section 5174 limits combustible dust to a concentration of 25% of its lower explosive limit (LEL) “unless all sources of ignition are eliminated or identified and specifically controlled.” (See CalOSHA’s website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/5174.html).
Static electricity is a serious explosion and fire ignition source, but grounding prevents this. CalOSHA defines effective grounding as linking equipment to earth through a connection that has “low impedance” and enough current-carrying capacity to prevent hazardous voltages.
When you operate, service, and maintain equipment, ensure that the proper grounding is in place. Review facility machines, conveyors, housings, and conductive surfaces for proper ground. Hoses and nozzles used to collect or blow dust should be grounded along their entire lengths. Belts can be grounded through metal combs or other devices.
Dust collection, filtering, and treatment prevent explosions by removing dust from the air. Dust collectors should be hooked up outdoors or in a separate room. Wet spray dust collectors can be located inside the building. For grinding, shredding, or pulverizing equipment, use pneumatic or magnetic separators to remove metal and debris that could ignite a fire. Lay out your facility so that machines with dust explosion hazards are enclosed or facing away from populated work areas to minimize the fire and energy impact if there is an explosion.
Establish a routine cleaning schedule to remove dust from floors, ledges, beams, equipment, or other sur-faces. Clean often enough to prevent dust buildup. If production changes and dust piles up faster than your schedule, clean more often. Create a checklist that identifies all areas to be cleaned so you don’t miss any. Use the proper tools, equipment, and safety procedures to clean dust from heights.
Before you begin cleaning, shut down all flame and ignition sources. Allow dust to settle out of the air. Permanent, grounded vacuum systems or wet methods are ideal for dust cleanup. Use caution with push brooms or brushes that can make dust airborne. Choose natural bristle brushes; some synthetic fiber brushes can build up static. Using compressed air to blow and clean up dust is not recommended because of the potential to make a dust cloud. If there is no other alternative to compressed air, extinguish all flame and ignition sources and ground the hose and nozzle before use.
Attention to housekeeping and cleaning can prevent secondary explosions, which occur when an initial dust cloud ignites, explodes, and topples a duct, pipe, or other accumulation of dust. The newly airborne dust can then form a second explosive dust cloud, often larger and more deadly than the first.

SAFETY TOPIC: EXPLOSIONES DE POLVOCuando los materiales combustibles o no combustibles se reducen a polvos finos, pueden crear un peligro de incendio y explosión que afecta a muchas operaciones y materiales: azúcar, harina, comida para animales, plásticos, papel, madera, hule, muebles, textiles, pesticidas, productos farmacéuticos, pinturas y resinas, tintes, carbón y metales.
Para prevenir incendios por explosión de polvos, se debe controlar el “pentágono de las explosiones de polvo”. Esto incluye el triángulo tradicional de los incendios: combustible, calor y oxígeno, junto con una nube de polvo y un espacio cerrado. Se deben reducir los niveles de polvo (el combustible) al mínimo en el sitio de trabajo por medio de controles y el buen orden y aseo. También se deben controlar las llamas y las fuentes de ignición (calor) tales como llamas de pilotos, llamas abiertas, equipos calientes y electricidad estática. Nunca se debe permitir fumar en el sitio de trabajo.
Debido al peligro de explosión de polvo, el Título 8 de CalOSHA, Sección 5174 limita el polvo combustible a una concentración máxima del 25% de su límite explosivo inferior (LEL, por sus siglas en inglés) “a no ser que se eliminen todas las fuentes de ignición o se identifiquen y controlen específicamente las mismas.” (Véase el sitio en Internet de CalOSHA en http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/5174.html).La electricidad estática es una fuente seria de ignición de explosiones e incendios, pero las conexiones a tierra los previenen. CalOSHA define la conexión efectiva a tierra como una conexión de baja impedancia y con suficiente capacidad de corriente para prevenir voltajes peligrosos.
Cuando usted opere, haga servicio o dé mantenimiento en equipos, debe asegurarse de que tengan una buena conexión a tierra. Verifique que las maquinarias del centro de trabajo, las bandas transportadoras, los cuerpos de los equipos y las superficies conductivas estén debidamente conectadas a tierra. Las mangueras o boquillas que se usan para recolectar o soplar los polvos deben estar conectadas a tierra a todo lo largo de su longitud. Las correas deben conectarse a tierra a través de peines metálicos u otros dispositivos.
La recolección, filtrado y tratamiento del polvo previenen explosiones eliminando el polvo en el aire. Los recolec-tores de polvo deben instalarse afuera del edificio o en un salón separado. Los recolectores por rocío húmedo pu-eden ubicarse dentro del edificio. Para equipos de esmerilado, triturado o pulverizado, se deben usar separadores neumáticos o magnéticos para separar los metales y desperdicios que puedan prenderse fuego. Distribuya el local de manera que las máquinas con peligro de explosión estén encerradas o apuntando en sentido opuesto a las áreas de trabajo ocupadas para minimizar el impacto del incendio y la energía en caso de que ocurra una explosión.
Establezca un programa de limpieza de rutina para eliminar el polvo de pisos, cornisas, vigas, equipos y demás superficies. Haga limpieza con suficiente frecuencia para evitar que se acumule el polvo. Si la producción cambia y el polvo se acumula más rápido, se debe hacer limpieza con mayor frecuencia. Se debe preparar una lista que identifique todas las áreas que deben limpiarse para que no se olvide ninguna. Use las herramientas, equipos y pro-cedimientos de seguridad apropiados para limpiar el polvo en lugares elevados.
Antes de comenzar la limpieza, apague todas las llamas y fuentes de ignición. Deje que el polvo en el aire se asi-ente. Los sistemas de aspiradora permanente, conectados a tierra, o los métodos húmedos de limpieza son ideales para la limpiar el polvo. Tenga cuidado al usar escobillones o cepillos que puedan tirar polvo al aire. Elija escobillones y cepillos de cerdas naturales; algunas cerdas sintéticas pueden cargarse de electricidad estática. No se recomienda el uso de aire comprimido para soplar y limpiar el polvo debido a la posibilidad de crear una nube de polvo. Si no hay alternativa al uso de aire comprimido, apague todas las llamas y fuentes de ignición y conecte la manguera y la boquilla a tierra antes de usarla.El buen orden y aseo puede prevenir explosiones secundarias, las cuales ocurren cuando una nube de polvo inicial se incendia, explota y derriba un conducto, tubería u otro punto de acumulación de polvo. El polvo desplazado en el aire puede formar otra nube explosiva, con mayor frecuencia y más mortal que la primera.
