Discover New Opportunities with JointVentures and Strategic Alliances
In today’s highly competitive business environ-ment, many construction companies are ventur-ing into unfamiliar territory. Some are exploring opportunities across state lines or international borders. Others are branching out into different, larger or more complex projects.
For many contractors — particularly smaller ones — a joint venture or strategic alliance of-fers an opportunity to join forces with other con-struction companies to achieve business goals that one business couldn’t achieve on its own.
Differences and advantages
Joint ventures and strategic alliances have simi-lar objectives, but they’re structured differently. Typically, a joint venture involves formation of a new legal entity, such as a partnership or limited liability company (LLC).
A strategic alliance, on the other hand, is simply an agreement between two businesses to pooltheir talents and resources. Both offer many ad-vantages to the partners involved, including:
Additional manpower without the need to •hire,Access to new markets,•Pooling of talent,•Availability of specialized capabilities, •equipment and technology,Ability to bid on larger, more complex jobs,•Ability to spread risk among the members,•
Enhanced bonding and financing capacity, •andFormation of new supplier relationships.•
The most effective joint ventures and strategic alliances leverage members’ complementary strengths. In cross-border or international ven-tures, for example, a contractor with specialized skills or experience might join with an out-of-state or foreign company that offers an estab-lished local presence, knowledge of the market, and on-site labor and equipment.
Due diligence required
Before embarking on a joint venture or strategic alliance, it’s critical to vet prospective partnersthoroughly. If your business partner fails, you’ll be responsible for completing the project. It’s also important to document the arrangement carefully to ensure that it has well-defined ob-jectives, each party’s responsibilities are clearly spelled out, and both rewards and risks are fairly allocated.

All California businesses with more than ten employees must maintain a written Emergency Action Plan. Title 8 CCR 3220, Emergency Ac-tion Plan, states that the Emergency Action Plan “shall cover those designated actions employers and employees must take to ensure employee safety from fire and other emergencies. For those employers with 10 or fewer employees the plan may be communicated orally to employees and the employer need not maintain a written plan.”
Planning In an emergency, the effectiveness of response depends on advanced planning and training. Managements commitment and employee involvement are essential to the action plan. The emergency response plan should cover all potential emergencies that could be expected at the work site. The written emergency action plan must be kept at the workplace and made available for employees to review. It should be reevaluated and updated periodically. The fol-lowing elements, at a minimum, must be includ-ed in the plan:• Emergency escape procedures and mappedescape routes•Procedurestobefollowedbyemployeeswhoremain to operate critical operations before they evacuate•Procedures toaccount forallemployeesafterevacuation•Rescueandmedicaldutiesforemployeeswho

EMERGENCY WASH STATIONS
Many new chemical products are introduced into the workplace each year and even with careful planning and safety measures, harmful chemical-exposure accidents occur. Because of the potential for exposure, a list of all hazardous substances should be maintained at each worksite. Material Safety Data Sheets on these substances should be readily available with substance descriptions including their location, risks, manufacturer’s precautions, and treatment or antidote measures should there be a harmful exposure.
Emergency wash fixtures must be provided in the workplace if there is a reasonable risk that workers may be exposed to caustic chemicals or other hazardous substances. All workers at risk for exposure should be made aware of the location and purpose of the emergency wash stations and receive regular training on their use. Keep in mind that emergency wash fixtures are not substitutes for personal protective gear like safety eyewear, face shields, and protective clothing.
Some chemicals have a harmful reaction when mixed with another substance and may endanger the handler or those in the area. You can counteract a reaction by having emergency wash stations or showers that provide large amounts of continually flowing water to flush the chemical. It is not recommended that neutralizing agents be used on the eyes or skin. Combining certain chemicals can be dangerous, and may increase the damaging effects of chemical burns or develop scar tissue if the wrong neutralizing agent is accidentally used.
The most effective first step in treating chemical contamination of the eye or skin is immediate flushing or washing with potable water. This and the selection and placement of emergency wash stations or showers, are among the most crucial steps you can take in effective emergency response.
Medical experts say that immediate access to an emergency wash station is critical. The chance of full recovery from chemical contamination of the eye is excellent, if the victim reaches an eyewash station within 10 to 15 seconds. Panic, pain, and obscured vision will slow response time, so it is important that emergency wash fixtures be highly visible.
The length of time and amount of flushing or washing is key to the successful treatment of the eye or skin. The minimum amount of time for flushing the eye is 15 minutes, although most medical experts say a full 20 to 30 minutes of flushing time is best. It is important that the water pressure of the eyewash station be closely regulated because tender eye tissue can be easily damaged.
With the help of a trained medical professional, establish first-aid procedures for chemical injuries then review and update these measures and all safety precautions on a regular schedule.

ESTACIONES DE LAVADO DE EMERGENCIA
Todos los años aparecen en el lugar de trabajo muchos productos químicos nuevos y, a pesar de una cuidada planificación y de las medidas de seguridad tomadas, se producen accidentes en los que las personas se ven expuestas a productos químicos nocivos. Debido al potencial de exposición, cada lugar de trabajo debe disponer de una lista de todas las sustancias peligrosas. Las Hojas de Datos sobre Seguridad de Materiales referentes a estas sustancias deben estar fácilmente disponibles y en ellas deben constar descripciones de las sustancias, incluida su ubicación, riesgos, precauciones del fabricante y las medidas de tratamiento o antídoto en caso de producirse una exposición peligrosa a dicha sustancia.
El lugar de trabajo debe poseer estaciones de lavado de emergencia siempre que exista un riesgo razonable de que los trabajadores puedan verse expuestos a productos químicos cáusticos o a otras sustancias peligrosas. Todos los trabajadores sometidos a este riesgo deben conocer la ubicación y propósito de las estaciones de lavado de emergencia y ser capacitados con regularidad acerca de su uso. Adviértase que las estaciones de lavado de emergencia no son sustitutivas de los equipos de protección personal, tales como anteojos, máscaras protectoras y ropa de seguridad.
Algunos productos químicos reaccionan de una manera peligrosa cuando se mezclan con otra sustancia y pueden poner en peligro al usuario o a las personas a su alrededor. Se puede combatir la reacción si se dispone de duchas o estaciones de lavado de emergencia que proporcionen cantidades abundantes de agua que fluyan continuamente para eliminar el producto químico. No se recomienda el uso de agentes neutralizadores en los ojos ni en la piel. La combinación de ciertos productos químicos puede resultar peligrosa e incrementar los efectos perjudiciales de las quemaduras químicas o causar cicatrices en la piel si, accidentalmente, se utiliza un agente neutralizador inadecuado.
Lavarse de inmediato con abundante agua potable es la medida más efectiva que se puede tomar en primer lugar para el tratamiento de la contaminación química de los ojos o la piel. Esto, junto con la selección y colocación de duchas o estaciones de lavado de emergencia, son dos de las medidas cruciales que se pueden adoptar para responder eficazmente a una emergencia.
Los expertos médicos destacan la extrema importancia del acceso inmediato a una estación de lavado de emergencia. La probabilidad de lograr una recuperación total de las lesiones oculares es excelente si la víctima llega a una estación de lavado de los ojos en un plazo de 10 a 15 segundos. El pánico, el dolor y el oscurecimiento de la visión reducirán el tiempo de respuesta, por lo que es importante que las estaciones de emergencia se coloquen en lugares bien visibles.
La duración del lavado y la cantidad de agua utilizada en él resultan fundamentales para el tratamiento con éxito de los ojos o la piel. La duración mínima del lavado de los ojos es de 15 minutos, aunque la mayoría de los expertos coincide en señalar que resulta más apropiado hacerlo durante 20 a 30 minutos. Es importante regular atentamente la presión del agua de la estación de lavado de los ojos, ya que el tejido ocular debilitado puede resultar dañado fácilmente.
Se deben establecer, con la ayuda de profesionales médicos capacitados, medidas de primeros auxilios para las lesiones químicas; éstas, al igual que todas las precauciones de seguridad, deben ser revisadas y actualizadas con regularidad.

Kalb’s Q & A for ContractorsBy David Kalb, Capitol Services, Inc.
We have been busy at Capitol Services helping contractors discover new opportunity in Nevada and Arizona, a ‘rush’ that is reflected in recent news of their leading the nation in state popu-lation growth over the last decade. Meanwhile, licensed contractors may find greater opportu-nity within the borders of California as govern-ment focuses on creating a ‘level’ playing field by cracking down on the unlicensed operators ‘bending’ the rules…
The CSLB Enforcement Committee met in Sacra-mento last week to discuss a wide variety of top-ics related to contractors and the construction industry. Of particular note was their emphasis on increasing proactive enforcement aimed at the underground economy.
The Contractors Board will be stepping up part-nering with other state agencies including the Employment Development Department (EDD) and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), among others. The focal point will be the newly created DIR Labor Enforcement Task Force (LETF), which was launched on January 1st. According to the DIR, “this is a collaborative effort between state agencies to combat the underground economy and to improve California’s business environment where legitimate employers can thrive.”
The primary partners of the LETF include DIR,
the Employment Development Department, Contractor’s State License Board, Board of Equal-ization, and the Bureau of Automotive Repair. “The goal of LETF is to ensure fair and safe work-ing conditions in all workplaces and promote a level playing field for employers through educa-tion and enforcement of state laws,” said Labor and Workforce Agency Secretary Marty Morgen-stern. “Labor law violators endanger workers and have an unfair market advantage over law-abiding businesses”. The goals of the task force will be to:
1) Ensure workers receive proper payment of wages and are provided a safe work environ-ment; 2) Ensure California receives all employ-ment taxes, fees, and fines due from employers; 3) Make efficient use of state and federal resources in carrying out the mission of the Labor Enforce-ment Task Force; and 4) Eliminate unfair business competition by ‘leveling the playing field’ so that employers who comply with the law do not have to compete with employers who break the law. According to DIR Director, Christine Baker, “By joining forces with other agencies conducting inspections, we can have a greater impact on stopping labor violations and the underground economy. Collaboration will also save time and money by avoiding overlapping inspections and focusing our efforts on the egregious violators.”
According to the DIR, and echoed by the CSLB,
businesses operating underground typically vio-late many laws designed to protect workers and our state’s economy. These include: not paying in-come taxes, unemployment insurance or disabil-ity insurance; not carrying (or under-reporting) Workers Compensation coverage; not paying proper wages; and not registering for required li-censes or permits. These underground operators subsequently pay lower overhead costs, which give them an unfair competitive advantage over legitimate, law-abiding businesses.
In addition to discussing the goals of the LETF, the Enforcement Committee heard from the Chief of EDD’s Compliance Development Opera-tions, Dan Kurttila, who emphasized their com-mitment to the construction industry and the Board’s strategic objective to combat the under-ground economy.
Like the ‘synching’ on your individual mobile, computer or server, State government networks are talking, ‘pushing’ data sharing and improving the odds unlicensed contractors will be caught in California.

Training Every employee needs to know the details of the emergency action plan including types of poten-tial emergencies, evacuation procedures, alarm systems, reporting procedures, and shutdown procedures. Random emergency drills should be held at least annually. If possible, they should in-clude outside police and fire authorities.
Emergency procedure training should be con-ducted when new employees are hired and at least annually thereafter. Additional training is needed when new equipment, materials or processes are introduced, when procedures have been updated or revised, and when exer-cises show that employee performance is inad-equate. Chain of Command A chain of commend should be established so

that employees know who has authority for making decisions. An emergency response co-ordinator and a backup coordinator should be designated. Adequate backup must be arranged so that trained personnel are always available. Coordinator duties include:•Determiningwhetheranemergencyrequiringactivation of emergency procedures exists• Directing all emergency activities includingevacuation of personnel•Ensuringthatoutsideemergencyservicessuchas medical aid and local fire departments are called when necessary•Directingtheshutdownofcompanyoperationswhen necessary
Emergency Response Teams The Emergency Response Teams are the first line of defense in emergencies. Team mem-bers should be thoroughly trained for potential emergencies and physically capable of carrying out their duties; know about toxic hazards in the workplace and be able to judge when to evacu-ate personnel or depend on outside help (e.g. when a fire is too large for them to handle). One
or more teams should be trained in:•Useofvarioustypesoffireextinguishers•Firstaid,includingcardiopulmonaryresuscita-tion (CPR)•Shutdownprocedures•Evacuationprocedures•Chemicalspillcontrolprocedures• Use of self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA)•Searchandemergencyrescueprocedures
Communication Effective emergency communication is vital. Employees must know how to report emergen-cies. And a method of communication should be established to alert employees to evacuate or to take other emergency action described in the plan. An alarm system should be in place, dis-tinctive and recognizable enough to signal the emergency action.
An alternate area for a communications center may be necessary if the work site must be evacu-ated. The emergency coordinator should have

damage. Employers not near an infirmary, clinic or hospital should have someone on site trained in first aid, have medical personnel readily available for advice and consultation, and develop written emergency medical procedures.Employers should have first aid supplies for trained personnel to use, emergency phone numbers posted in conspicuous places near or on telephones, and prearranged ambulance services for emer-gencies. ________________________________________“Information or recommendations contained in these articles were obtained from sources believed to be reliable at the date of pub-lication.

Unlicensed Operators
Like legitimate contractors, unlicensed operators sometimes use advertising to find new clients. Ads without license numbers or with numbers that are not issued by the CSLB are frequently used by the Board to identify sting targets.
The CSLB and other enforcement agencies use two sections of the law—B&P Sections 7027.1 and 7099.10—to take legal action against unlicensed contractors and, on occasion, against licensed contractors who advertise illegally.
If an unlicensed operator advertises as a contractor in a telephone directory, and if an investigation determines the entity doing the advertising is unlicensed, under B&P Section 7099.10 (a), the Registrar can issue a citation for a fine or other civil penalty assessment. The citation will also include an order of correction that requires:
any phone number in the unlawful ad and to not refer subsequent calls to any new number obtained by that person. If the order of correction isn’t made, the Registrar can have the Public Utilities Commission disconnect the phone service.
If you believe that an unlicensed contractor is actively working on a construction project, contact the CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or fill out a “SWIFT Lead Referral” form, which is available on the CSLB Web site, www.cslb.ca.gov.
