Licensed Contractors Not Allowed to PerformLand Surveying and Civil Engineering Work

License required from Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists

SACRAMENTO, CA - The Contractors State Li-cense Board (CSLB) is reminding licensees that their CSLB-issued license does not allow them to perform land surveying and civil engineer-ing work. Performing this type of work without a license issued by the Board for Professional En-gineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists (PELSG) could put your CSLB license at risk.

Land surveyor and civil engineer requirements are detailed in California Business and Profes-sions (B&P) Code, Chapter 15, Articles 1-8, Sec-tions 8700-8805.

Land SurveyorsSome of the duties performed by land surveyors in California are:

Retracing Property Lines•Performing Boundary Line Adjustments•Preparing Topographic Maps•Preparing Subdivision Maps •Performing Construction Surveys•

Civil EngineersIn California, some of the duties performed by civil engineers are:

Design of any building or structure except a •hospital or public schoolStructural and geotechnical (soils) engineer-•ing if fully qualifiedAnalyze and design buildings to withstand •the natural forces of gravity, earthquakes, or wind

Provide advice regarding structural design •requirements to architects, contractors, and consumersPrepare design and repair recommenda-•tions for drainage systems, septic systems, foundations, and retaining wallsPrepare grading plans and topographic •maps of the elevations and contours of the landDesign swimming pools•

Possible Disciplinary ActionCSLB stresses the importance of following all state and local laws and ordinances.

When licensed contractors work outside of their specific classification or scope of work, they sub-ject their license to possible criminal charges from PELS and disciplinary action from CSLB. Illegal acts of unlicensed engineering and land surveying by licensed CSLB contractors or unli-censed individuals are governed by B&P Code 8792(a), which is a misdemeanor. Civil penalties for these violations could run into the thousands of dollars and could be included in an action to revoke a license.

FIRE SAFETY - IN CASE OF FIRE

You are responsible for fire prevention at work for your safety and that of your co-workers. The best way to prevent workplace fires is to be aware of and on the lookout for potential fire hazards. Report hazardous situations to the supervisor. Know the location of fire extinguishers and other emergency equipment that is available to you. During an actual emergency, protect yourself. Do not get involved if it is not safe.

If you ever discover a fire, keep your cool but think fast and act with caution. Size it up fast; knowing when to attempt extinguishing the fire yourself and when to call for help is essential.

In case of fire, follow your company’s fire response procedures. The important thing is to know what to do and do it fast. The exact order to do the things depends on the established company procedures.

Sound the alarm and evacuate the area. Call the emergency numbers you’ve been given, and give the details about the fire (location, how it started etc.). Never hesitate to call the fire department, even if the fire seems minor and you manage to put it out before firefighters arrive. The quicker the alarm is sounded, the sooner firefighters can attempt to get it under control. Have someone meet the firefighters to tell where the fire is. They can lose valuable minutes if they have to find it themselves.

You are responsible for preventing fires, but not to put out major fires. Fight the fire only if you can do it safely with proper extinguishing materials. In general, never battle the blaze unless the firefighters request your help.

Warn anyone in the area so they can get to safety. This is especially important with indoor fires. Most people die from smoke, poisonous gases and panic (usually the result of not knowing what to do). If there is an escape plan, adapt it to the emergency.

Most fires start small, but they can rage out of control in a few minutes. It is important to know where the fire extinguishers are located and how to operate them properly. Distinguish before you extinguish. Choose the correct extinguisher for the type of fire (paper/wood, grease/gas/flammable liquids, electrical). If you are not trained or authorized to use an extinguisher, don’t try. The time you waste in figuring out how to operate an extinguisher could mean the difference between minor damage and a major disaster.

Review your company’s fire safety procedures often so you’ll now what to do. Act with caution. Sound the alarm. Warn others in the area. Evacuate and stay back unless you’re asked to help. In case of fire, being informed and prepared can keep you and your co-workers safe from injury.

EN CASO DE INCENDIO

Usted es personalmente responsable de evitar incendios en el trabajo para su propia seguridad y la de sus compañeros de trabajo. La mejor manera de evitar incendios es mantenerse alerta contra los posibles peligros de incendio.

Esté consciente de los peligros potenciales de incendio en el sitio de trabajo. Reporte situaciones peligrosas a su supervisor. Conozca la ubicación de los extinguidores de fuego y otros equipos de emergencia que se encuentren disponibles. Durante una emergencia, protéjase. Si no es seguro involucrarse, no lo haga.

Si alguna vez debe enfrentarse a un incendio, mantenga la calma, pero piense rápido y actúe con cautela. Cuando descubra un incendio, analícelo rápidamente. Sepa cuándo tratar de apagar el incendio por sí solo y cuándo es esencial pedir ayuda.

En caso de incendio, observe los procedimientos de respuesta establecidos por la empresa. Lo importante es saber qué se debe hacer y hacerlo con rapidez. El orden exacto de las cosas que se deben hacer depende de los procedimientos de respuesta establecidos por la empresa.

Active la alarma y evacue el área. Llame a los números de emergencia que se le han dado y proporcione los detalles del incendio (ubicación, cómo comenzó, etc.). Nunca vacile en llamar a los bomberos, aún si el incendio aparenta ser de índole menor y usted logra apagarlo antes de que ellos lleguen. Cuando más rápido se active la alarma, más rápido los bomberos llegarán a tratar de controlar el incendio. Designe a alguien para que reciba a los bomberos y les informe dónde está el fuego. Los bomberos pueden desperdiciar preciosos minutos si tienen que encontrar el incendio por sí solos.

Usted es personalmente responsable de evitar incendios, pero no tiene la responsabilidad de apagar incendios mayores. Trate de apagar el incendio sólo si puede hacerlo en forma segura con extinguidores apropiados que estén a la mano. En general, nunca trate de apagar el incendio junto a los bomberos a no ser que éstos soliciten su ayuda.

Avísele a los demás de inmediato. Adviértale el peligro a todas las personas en el área para que puedan escapar a un sitio seguro. Esto es especialmente importante en los incendios bajo techo. La mayoría de las víctimas perecen por el humo, los gases venenosos y el pánico. El pánico generalmente es consecuencia de no saber qué hacer. Si existe un plan de escape, adáptelo a la emergencia.

Al comenzar, la mayoría de los incendios son pequeños, pero pueden llegar a estar fuera de control en pocos minutos. Es importante saber dónde se encuentran los extinguidores y cómo operarlos correctamente. Distinga el tipo de fuego antes de atacarlo. Elija el extinguidor correcto para el tipo de fuego en cuestión (papel/madera, grasa/gas/líquidos inflamables, eléctrico). Si usted no está entrenado o autorizado para usar un extinguidor, no trate de hacerlo. El tiempo que usted desperdicia tratando de averiguar cómo funciona un extinguidor puede significar la diferencia entre daños menores y un desastre mayor.

Estudie con frecuencia los procedimientos de seguridad contra incendios de la empresa para saber qué hacer. Actúe con precaución. Encienda la alarma. Avísele a otros en el área. Evacúe y manténgase alejado a no ser que se le pida su ayuda. En caso de incendio, estar informado y preparado puede evitarle lesiones a usted y a sus compañeros de trabajo.

Kalb’s Q & A for ContractorsBy David Kalb, Capitol Services, Inc.

You don’t have to get a tattoo when you want a contractor’s license in California, but you do get ‘inked’. That’s often where the trouble starts. An out-of-state builder doesn’t think he needs a license but his lawyer does. Our last contractor inquiry gets a full 100% answer for his ‘ten per-cent’ question…

Q: I want to apply for a contractor’s license; how-ever, I was convicted of a felony about 8 years ago. I’ve heard that someone with a criminal re-cord will likely not be given a license. What do they look at?

A: According to a recent report released by the CSLB, the Criminal Background Unit has received more than 242,000 transmittals from the Depart-ment of Justice since the CSLB’s fingerprinting program began in January 2005. Of the appli-cants fingerprinted, they have received “hits” on over 41,000 applicants or about 17%. The Board has denied just over 1,000 applications and is-sued nearly 1,100 probationary licenses.

The CSLB considers a number of factors when evaluating someone’s criminal background. Among other things, they’ll look at when the crime was committed; is someone a repeat of-fender; what crime was committed and how recent was the offense. In your case, with only one incident in your background, I would say you have a very good chance of ultimately being

issued a license.

Q: My attorney told me I need a contractor’s li-cense. I have an upcoming project in California where I need to sign a contract, however I don’t plan to self-perform the work. In my home state, no license is required unless you actually handle the construction. Could you confirm whether in fact a license will be necessary? I don’t want to go through the hassle if I don’t need to.

A: One of the primary reasons your attorney told you to get a license is because it’s not worth the potential financial consequences if your con-struction project runs into problems. The key is whether you have a signed contract with the owner to handle the construction. Whether you decide to self-perform all or none of the work has little bearing on whether a contractor’s li-cense is required.

Acquiring a license may look like a “hassle” in the short run but failure to do so could cost you dearly down the road. For instance, a dispute may develop where you need to go to court. Without a license your case could be tossed out so any money you hoped to collect will be out the window. Further, if it’s determined a license was required to work in CA and you don’t have one, the other side in this theoretical dispute could ask the court to order the return of all monies you’ve already been paid. Welcome to

CA Code Section 7031.

Q: I have what I hope to be a pretty cut and dry question...We are General contractors who do a lot of business with subs. Legally how much can a subcontractor ask for work they “plan” to do? My understanding is that no one can charge for work that had not been completed. Does the 10% down payment rule apply in this case?

A: As it relates to home improvement contracts, B&P Code Section 7159.5(a) is pretty ‘dry’. In response to your first question, yes, subsection (5) clearly states that except for the down pay-ment a contractor may “neither request nor ac-cept payment that exceeds the value of the work performed or material delivered”. Your second question is clearly addressed in Subsection (3): “…the down payment may not exceed $1000 or 10% of the contract amount, whichever is less.” As the General contractor, the down payment would relate to your contract with the home owner, regardless of whether you self-perform or hire subs to do the work.
