By: Vic Macias

The Northern California Laborers’ Training Center contin-ues to partner with signatory contractors, Laborers-AGC, Training Providers, Laborers’ Locals and Laborers’ De-partments, and the California Department of Public Health, to improve the level of training offered by our training center, and inform our contractors and members about the training courses we offer.

With the assistance of Mr. Ron Myers, our International Representative and a miner, and our Senior Instructor Jerome Williams, the Laborers Training Center was able host the Basic Ventilation and Underground Gases Course, presented by Mr. Gerald R. Fulghum, a Certifi ed Safety Professional and miner. A total of fi fteen laborers and instructors attended the two day class, and after receiving the class, our laborers and instructors took the California Gas Tester’s Certifi cation Examination and thirteen received their gas tester certifi cate from the State of California Division of Occupational Health and Safety, Mining and Tunneling Unit. Instructors Nathan Whittom and Frank Corona were among the laborers that received their Gas Tester Certifi cates. This training will prove invaluable especially with all the tunnel work that is in progress now, and in the future.

Our environmental instructors, Na-than Whittom, Rafael Cerda, Alfredo Argandona, have developed a Continu-ing Education Lead Worker English, and Continuing Education Lead Worker Spanish courseware. Kathleen Hansen from California Department of Health worked closely with our instructors, and with her suggestions and assistance the courseware was approved. We no longer have the need to purchase the curriculum from outside vendors, and our curriculum is approved by the State of California.

Lecet Southwest has been conducting Contractor Forums to inform our signatory contractors of the benefi ts they can use to increase their profi ts. The Locals, Health and Safety, LECET and the Training Center have been able to make direct contact with our signatory contractors, and open lines of communication that will be to the advantage to our signatory contractors and the Laborers’ Union.

El Centro de Entrenamiento de los Obreros del Norte de California continúa trabajando junto con los contratistas signatarios, Obreros-AGC, los Proveedores de Entrenamiento, los Locales, Departamentos de Obreros, y el Departamento de California de Salud Pública, para mejorar el nivel de entrenamiento ofrecido por nuestro centro de entrenamiento, e informar a nuestros contratistas y miembros sobre los cursos de que ofrecemos.

Con la ayuda del Sr. Ron Myers, nuestro Representante Internacional, y minero, y nuestro instructor principal, Jerome Williams, el Centro de Entrenamiento de los Obreros fue el huésped y llevó a cabo el curso de Ventilación Básica y el curso de Gases Subterráneos, presentado por el Señor Gerald R. Fulghum, Profesional Certifi cado en Seguridad y minero. Un total de quince trabajadores e instructores estuvieron presentes en la clase de dos días, y después de recibir la clase, nues-tros trabajadores e instructores tomaron el examen de Certifi cación de

Probadores de Gas de California y trece recibieron su certifi cado de probador de gas de la Division Ocupacional de Salud y Seguri-dad del Estado de California, de la Unidad de Minas y Túneles. Los instructores Nathan Whittom y Frank Corona estaban entre los trabajadores que recibieron sus Cer-tifi cados de Probador de Gas. Este entrenamiento va ser inestimable con todo el trabajo del túnel que está en progreso ahora, y que estará en el futuro.

Nuestros instructores ambientales, Nathan Whittom, Rafael Cerda, y

Alfredo Argandona, han desarrollado cursos en Educación Continua de Trabajador de Plomo en Ingles, y Educación Continua de Traba-jador de Plomo en Espanol. Kathleen Hansen del Departamento de Salud de California trabajó en conjunto con nuestros instructors. Con sus sugerencias y ayuda el material de enseñanza fué aprobado. Ya no tendremos la necesidad de comprar el curriculum de vendedores exte-riores, y nuestro curriculum fué aprobado por el Estado de California.

Lecet Southwest ha estado conduciendo Foros de Contratistas para in-formar a nuestros contratistas signatarios de los benefi cios que pueden utilizar para aumentar sus ganancias. Los Locales, Salud y Seguridad, LECET y el Centro de Entrenamiento han podido hacer contacto directo con nuestros contratistas signatarios, abriendo líneas de comu-nicación que será una ventaja para nuestros contratistas signatarios y para la Unión de Obreros.

(Continued )Jeff Armstrong, Instructor Supervisor Jerome Williams and I, have attended these meetings, and we have been able to inform our contractors of the training opportunities avail-able to them at no cost.

Local 1130 received a request for a High Scaling class from signatory contractor Bill Holloway of California Drilling and Blasting, in order to start work on a project. The Training Unit was dispatched to the California Drilling and Blasting site, and the Introduction to High Scaling class was presented by Instructor Rick Roath and was a success. There are requests for another class, and Southern Califor-nia Training is requesting for Rick to teach the class in their area.

We continue to receive requests from our Shot-crete Signatory Contractors, and the Laborers’ Locals for ACI Certifi cation of our shotcrete laborers. We have built a relationship with Examiner Chris Zynda, President of the Ameri-can Shotcrete Association, and the Training Center hosts the classroom examination and the practical examination for both the vertical and overhead certifi cations.

The Laborers’ Training Center received a donation of tunneling materials from Mr. Doug Bailey, Project Manager for Michels Pipeline Construction. Mr. Jim Wood, Business Representative for Local 1130, was key in obtaining the tunneling materials, and even assisted in the loading and unloading the equip-ment. The Training Center is in the process of develop-ing a training program on safe tunneling methods, and the contribution by Michels Pipeline will help in the success of the program. The commitment of Michels Pipeline was expressed in a letter from Mr. Doug Bailey, “We at Michels Tunneling desire the ability to obtain trained and qualifi ed miners from the Laborers’ local labor pool and therefore fi nd that supporting a program such as this as being benefi -cial to both contractors and the union. We hope to be able to continue to provide assistance in your efforts to provide realistic training in safe tunneling methods.”

Partnering with our signatory contractors, our Union Locals, LECET Southwest, and training organizations will ensure that The Training Center will continue to keep the lines of communication open, so that the training we offer our members will meet the construction industry demands of the present and future.

tor de Aprendizaje, Jeff Armstrong, el Supervisor de Instructores Jerome Williams y yo, hemos asistido a estas juntas, y hemos podido informar a nuestros contratistas de las oportunidades de entrenamien-to disponibles para ellos sin costo.

El Local 1130 recibió una solicitud para una clase de Escalar del contratista signatario Bill Holloway de Perforacion y Voladura de California, para poder empezar a trabajar en un proyecto. La Unidad Móvil de Entrenamiento fué enviada al sitio de Perforación y Voladu-ra de California, y la clase de Introducción de Escalar fué presentada por el Instructor Rick Roath, y fué todo un éxito. Hay una petición para otra clase, y el Centro de Entrenamiento del Sur de California está pidiendo que Rick enseñe la clase en su área.

Continuamos recibiendo peticiones de nuestros Contratistas Signa-tarios de Shotcrete, y de los Locales de Obreros, para la Certifi cación de ACI Shotcrete para nuestros Obre-ros. El Centro ha desarroyado una relación con el examinador Chris Zynda, Presidente de la Asociación Americana de Shotcrete. El Centro de Entrenamiento es huesped de la clase y examinación en el salon de

clase y la examinación práctica de Certifi caciones Verticales y Horizontales.El Centro de Entrenamiento de

Trabajadores recibió una donación de materiales de túnel del Sr. Doug Bailey, Gerente de Proyecto para Michels Pipeline Construc-tion. El senor Jim Wood, Representante de Negocios para el Local 1130, fué la clave para obtener los materiales de túnel. Incluso ayudó a cargar y descargar el equipo. El Centro de Entrenamiento está en proceso de desarrollar un programa de entrenamiento sobre métodos seguros para hacer un túnel, y la contribución de Michels Pipeline ayudará al éxito del programa. El compromiso de Michels Pipeline fue expresado en una carta escrita por el Sr. Doug Bailey, “Nosotros aqui en Michels Tunneling deseamos la abilidad de obtener mineros entrenados y califi cados de el Local de Obreros y por lo tanto, sabe-mos que apoyar a un programa como este benefi cia a los contratistas y a la unión. Esperamos poder continuar dando ayuda para proporcio-nar entrenamiento realístico en métodos seguros para túneles.”

Asociarnos con nuestros contratistas signatarios, nuestros Locales de Unión, LECET Southwest, y organizaciones de entrenamiento asegurará que el Centro de Entrenamiento continue manteniendo una comunicación abierta, de modo que el entrenamiento que ofrecemos a nuestros miembros cubrirán las demandas del sector de la construc-ción del presente y del futuro.

I make it a point not to talk about myself in the articles I write on behalf of the apprenticeship department, but I have to say that it’s a great day for me when I get the op-portunity to catch up with a number of apprentices on a high profi le project and see them not only enjoy and take pride in their work but to excel at it too. I had such an opportunity last October when I stopped by the Conoco-Phillips refi nery in Rodeo and let me tell you, it was time well spent. Allow me to share my experience.

As you can imagine, security at a site such as this is very tight; there is no walking around by yourself. I was, therefore, met at the front gate by Jeff Belvin, General Foreman for Harder Mechanical, who served as my es-cort. Harder Mechanical is responsi-ble for installing all of the “off plot” piping which is basically the pipes that connect units with other units or tanks. Jeff is a 23-year member of the Laborers Union and has 46 Laborers under his supervision. After a quick visit to the trailer we were off to meet up with his appren-tices. As he drove me around the site, he gave me his take on appren-ticeship. “I think apprenticeship is a good thing because of all the skills the apprentices have when they turn out. My apprentices are dependable. They show up on time and come to work every day which makes my job easier because out here I need every-one to be here when they’re supposed to be.”

After a short drive, we met up with apprentices Shelia Banks and Karen Blacknell for a quick interview so as to not disrupt their work. Both have been on this project with Harder Mechanical since last May and perform du-ties such as fi re watch, hole watch and fl agging. When asked about their thoughts on apprenticeship and working at the refi nery, Sheila said “I enjoy the work and appreci-ate working around Laborers who do so many different things such as pouring concrete and torch cutting because it gives me an opportunity to learn so much.” Karen, who had some previous refi nery experience, stated that she also enjoys the work and likes being a union member because of the stability and opportunities it provides. She also mentioned she appreciates all the benefi ts.

(L to R)Rodney Holden, Karen Blacknell, Jeff Belvin and Sheila

Banks.

Hago un punto el no hablar de mi en los artículos que escribo de parte del departamento de aprendizaje, pero tengo que decir que es un gran día para mi cuando tengo la oportunidad de ponerme al tanto con un número de aprendices en un proyecto de alto perfi l y verlos disfrutar y estar orgullosos de su trabajo, y tam-bien sobresalir en el. Tuve la oportunidad en el mes de Octubre de visitar a la refi nería de ConocoPhillips en Rodeo y déjenme decirles, que fué un tiempo bien aprovechado. Permítanme compartirles mi experiencia.

Como se pueden imaginar, la seguridad en un sitio como este es muy estricta; no se permite caminar por el lugar sin estar acompańado. Por lo tanto, me encontré con Jeff Belvin, Capataz General para Harder Mechanical, en entrada a la refi nería, y el

fue mi escolta. Harder Mechanical es el responsable de instalar todas las tuberías que conectan unidades con otras unidades o tanques. Jeff a sido un miembro de la Unión de los Obreros por 23 años, y tiene a 46 Trabajadores bajo su supervi-sion. Despues de una corta visita al traíler fuimos para encontrarnos con los aprendices. Cuando íbam-os en camino me dío su opinión sobre el aprendizaje. “Creo que el aprendizaje es algo bueno, por to-das las capacidades que obtienen

cuando terminan. Mis aprendices son responsables. Son puntuales y vienen a trabajar todos los días , cosa que hace mi trabajo mas fácil

porque aquí necesito que todos estén cuando se les nesecita.”

Despuès de un corto paseo en el carro, nos reunimos con las aprendices Sheila Banks y Karen Blacknell para entrevistarlas rapidamente, para no interrumpir su trabajo. Ambas han estado en este proyecto con Harder Mechanical desde Mayo pasado y hacen trabajo de vigilancia de fuego, vigilancia de ductos, y se-ñalamientos. Cuando se les preguntó que pensaban acerca del aprendizaje y de trabajar en la refi neria, Sheila dijo “Yo disfruto el trabajo y aprecio trabajar con personas que hacen muchas cosas diferentes tal como vaciar concreto y usar la antorcha porque me da la oportunidad de aprender mucho más.” Karen, quien ya tenía experiencia en refi neria, dijo que ella también disfruta del trabajo y le gusta ser miembro de la unión por la estabilidad y las oportunidades que la unión ofrece. Ella men-cionó que tambien aprecia todos los benefi cios que tiene.

(L to R)J.D Flaherty, Bobby Mitchell, Jeff Harris, Ron Valdez,

Henry Williams and Darrion Bratton.

Cuando terminé la entrevista,Jeff me dió un paseo al otro lado de la refi neria. Cuando el regresó a su trabajo, me dejó en buenas manos con Ron Valdez. Ron es el Capataz General en Fluor, que es el contratista general del proyecto. Ron tiene 27 años de ser miembro de la Unión de los Obreros y tiene 100 trabajadores bajo su supervisión. Incluidos en este numero estan 5 aprendices- J.D. Flaherty, Bobby Mitchell, Jeff Harris, Henry Williams and Darrion Bratton.Entre las multiples obligaciones de estos 5 aprendices son: mantenimiento de fuego, señalamientos, vigilancia del fuego, localizar vehículos y hacer cualquier cosa que les pida. Yo les pregunté si lo que ellos aprendieron en el Centro de Entre-namiento les estaba ayudando en el “mundo real” y todos ellos respondieron con un sonoro “si.” Henry dijo que el recordó lo que su instructor una vez le dijo. “Ollie dijo que el 80%

de tu éxito estará basado en tu acti-tud.” J.D. atribuyó su éxito a todo el entrenamiento de seguridad que el recibió en la escuela. Bobby recordó su entrenamiento de seguridad-OSHA en particular- y esto fue lo que dijo acerca de su entrenamiento inicial “te prepara para poder hacer el trabajo.” Cuando conversamos sobre la im-portancia de la seguridad, Darrion agregó “estamos usando todo lo que aprendimos en clase- tambíen usamos

nuestras certifi caciones y todo lo demás. “El aprendizaje es la mejor forma de desarrollarse.” Jeff, que pasa la mayor parte de sus días rompiendo columnas, mencionó

que su éxito en concreto es por la experiencia que recibió en el Centro de Capacitacion para Trabajadores . El concluyó nuestra reunión agregando que ha recomendado el programa de apren-dizaje a todos sus amigos. Cuando los aprendices regresaron a trabajar, Ron me vió y me dijo que todos están haciendo muy buen trabajo y que estaba orgulloso de cada uno de ellos. Les dije que había sido un tiempo bien aprovechado.

Quiero expresar mi gratitud en forma especial a todos en Fluor y Harder Mechanical por darme la oportunidad de visitar el sitio de trabajo y conversar con los aprendices. Me senti como un muchacho campechano en la gran cuidad, pero todos me trataron muy bién. También me gustaría darle las gracias a Wil-lie Hicks, Presidente del Local 324, por organizar mi visita y a Randy LeMoine, Gerente de Negocios del Local 324, por ser partidario de proveer aprendizaje a los trabajadores.

Upon wrapping up the interview, Jeff gave me a ride to the other side of the refi nery for the second stop of my visit. As he returned to his duties, he left me in the capable hands of Ron Valdez. Ron is a Senior General Foreman with Fluor, who is the general contractor on the project. Ron is a 27-year member of the Laborers Union and has 100 laborers under his supervision. Included in that num-ber are 5 apprentices – J.D. Flaherty, Bobby Mitchell, Jeff Harris, Henry Williams and Darrion Bratton. Among the many duties performed by these 5 are fi re blanketing, fl agging, fi re watch, vehicle spotting and do-ing whatever else is asked of them. I asked them if what they learned at the training center was helping them out in the “real world” and all responded with a resounding “yes.” Henry said he remembered what his instructor Ollie Hurd told him. “Ollie said 80% of your success will be based on your attitude.” J.D. attributed his success so far on all of the safety awareness training he received at the school. Bobby remembered his safety training – OSHA in particu-lar – and said of his initial training “It makes you ready to do the job.” As we discussed the importance of safety, Darrion added “We’re using everything we learned in class – our certifi cations and everything. Ap-prenticeship is the best way to go.” Jeff, who spends much of his days chipping columns, credited the concrete experience he received while he was at the Laborers Training Center with his suc-cess. He wrapped up our time together nicely by adding that he’s recommending the apprenticeship program to all his friends. As the apprentices returned to work, Ron turned to me and told me they we all doing a great job and that he was proud of each one of them. I told you it was time well spent.

I want to give a special thanks to everyone at Fluor and Harder Mechanical for allowing me the opportunity to tour the jobsite and catch up with the apprentices. I might have felt like a country boy in the big city, but everyone treated me very well. I also would like to thank Willie Hicks, President of Local 324 for arranging the visit and Randy LeMoine, Business Manager of Local 324, for being such a strong advocate of apprenticeship.

New Disciplinary System - No More DemeritsNuevo Sistema De Disciplina - No Más Demeritos

Apprentices who fail to turn in work processes, re-ceive unsatisfactory reports from their employers or instructors, fail to accept work assignments, initiate or participate in any activity that is intended to harm or discredit the Program or Union, commit acts of vio-lence (including threats) or fail to follow the rules listed in this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of a sub Joint Apprenticeship Committee. Once informed of one or more infractions, the sub JAC may send the apprentice a formal written warning and place the apprentice on active probation. Apprentices may also be required to appear before their regional sub Joint Apprenticeship Committee where upon review of the apprentice’s infraction, the apprentice may be placed on disciplinary probation.

Failure to attend a sub JAC meeting when summoned will result in an automatic written warning or immedi-ate termination. After two written warnings for disci-plinary action, the next offense will result in automatic termination from the apprenticeship program.

Active & Disciplinary ProbationUpon receiving a written warning, the apprentice will be placed on active probation and monitored for an amount as prescribed by the sub committee. If no other infractions occur during this predetermined time, the apprentice will be removed from active probation.

If the apprentice fails to take corrective action or upon a second offense or in more severe cases, the sub com-mittee will hear your case and may place you on disci-plinary probation for up to 500 OJT hours. During this time, you will continue to accumulate OJT hours but will not be granted any wage advancements until your disciplinary status is lifted. While on dis-ciplinary probation, your participation in the Program may be terminated by the JAC at any time without the formality of a hearing or stated cause.

Only apprentices outside of their initial probationary period (fi rst 750 hours worked) may appeal any deci-sion to terminate an apprentice’s participation in the Program. Only those appeals received in writing by the administration offi ce within 30 days of receipt of the termination notice shall be considered.

Apprenticeship Program - Programa de Aprendizaje

Aprendices que no entreguen sus horas de trabajo, reciban reportes insatisfactorios de sus empleadores o instructores, no acepten trabajo asignado, que inicien o participen en cualquier actividad que es intecionada a herir o desacreditar el Programa o la Unión, cometan actos de violencia (incluyendo amenazas) o que no sigan las reglas mencionadas en esta Póliza serán sujetos a acción disciplinaria a la discreción de la sub JAC (Junta del Comité de Aprendizaje). Una vez que el sub JAC es informado de una o más infracciones , se le podrá mandar al apprendiz una advertencia formal por escrito y poner al aprendiz en un periodo de prueba activo. Los Aprendicez también pueden ser requeridos a presentarse ante un sub JAC (Junta del Comité de Aprendizaje) regional, donde se revisará la infracción y el aprendiz podrá ser puesto en un periodo de prueba disciplinaria.

No asistir a la junta del sub JAC cuando esté citado, resultará au-tomaticamente en una advertencia escrita o terminación inmedi-ata. Despues de dos advertencias escritas por acción disiplinaria, la siguiente ofensa resultará en una terminación automática del programa de aprendizaje.

Periodo de Prueba Activa y Diciplinaria

Una vez recibida una advertencia escrita, el aprendiz será puesto en un periodo de prueba activa, y será monitoreado por el ti-empo asignado por el sub comite. Si el aprendiz no comete otras infracciones durante el tiempo asignado por el sub comite, el periodo de prueba activa será retirado.

Si el aprendiz no corrije su comportamiento, comete una segunda ofensa, o en casos bastantes serios, el sub comite escuchará el caso, y podrá ponerlo en prueba diciplinaria hasta 500 horas de OJT (horas de trabajo durante entrenamiento). Durante este tiem-po, continuará acumulando horas OJT (horas de trabajo durante entrenamiento), pero no se permitirá aumento salarial hasta que el estatus diciplinario sea removido. Mientras que esté en prueba disiplinaria, su participación en el Programa puede ser terminda por el JAC en cualquier momento sin la formalidad de una audi-encia, o sin dar razón por la terminación.

Solamente aprendizes fuera de su periodo inicial de prueba (las primeras 750 horas trabajadas) podrán apelar cualquier decisión de terminar la participación de un aprendiz en el Programa. Solo las apelaciones recibidas por escrito por la ofi cina de adminis-tración dentro de 30 días despues de recibir el aviso de termi-nación serán consideradas.

SAFETY CORNER | RINCON DE SEGURIDADBy: Richard Rocha

Do you know how much concrete weighs? A cubic yard (3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet) weighs 4000 pounds! That's 2 tons, more than twice the weight of the average small car on the road today. Think about that when a concrete truck is placed next to an excavation. All that weight plus the load shift during mixing will cause a super imposed load on the sides of an excavation or trench and could result in a cave-in. Be on guard during any concrete placement.When pouring concrete be sure that you wear the proper personal protective equipment. Rubber boots are a must to prevent you from getting lime burns on your feet and ankles. If you get wet concrete on your socks change them immediately to prevent concrete burns. Your eyes also need protection. Goggles will provide you with excellent coverage.Another area that has potential for serious injury is when a concrete chute is raised or lowered at the rear of a concrete truck. Always keep your fi ngers out of pinch points. One slip can mean the loss of fi ngers or even a hand. The same thing applies any time an extra chute is added to the truck. Watch where you put your hands and get help to lift the add-on chute.Pinch points are all around concrete buckets. Never ride a bucket and make sure that no one is working under the load. If the crane or pump truck operator cannot see the pour be sure to use a qualifi ed signal person. When plac-ing concrete with a bucket, know the capacity of the crane, don't overload. A test lift is advisable. Avoid swinging the bucket near power lines. Contact with an energized power line can kill or injure.When applying curing compound to concrete wear the right personal protective equipment. Chemical additives can cause burns. Check the appropriate MSDS sheet with your supervisor. Also remember that wet concrete conducts electricity. All tools and cords must be grounded, and don't allow metal bull fl oat handles to come in contact with elec-trical wiring or light bulbs.

KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM MOVING TRUCKS OR EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BACKING UP. THE OPERATOR MAY HAVE A LIMITED FIELD OF VISION.

CONCRETE | CEMENTO

Usted sabe cuánto pesa el cemento? Una yarda cúbica (3 pies por 3 pies, por 3 pies) pesa 4000 libras! Son 2 toneladas, más de el doble del peso de un auto pequeño hoy en día. Piense acerca de un camión de cemento cuándo es colocado cerca de una excavación. Todo ese peso más el cambio de carga durante la revoltura causará una carga super impuesta en ambos lados de una excavación o trinchera y puede resultar en un hundimento. Estè en guardia durante cualquier colocación de cemento. Cuándo estè derra-mando cemento, asegúrese de llevar puesto el equipo protectivo apropiado. Botas de hule son necesarias para prevenir que obtenga quemaduras de cal en los pies y en los tobillos. Si le cae cemento mojado en los calcetines, cambielos inmediatamente para prevenir quemaduras de cemento. Sus ojos tambièn necesitan protección. Las gafas de protección le proporcionaran excelente cobertura.Otra área que tiene potencial para una lesión sería es cuándo una rampa de cemento es elevada o bajada en la parte de atrás de un camión. Siempre mantenga sus dedos fuera de áreas que puedan prensarle. Un resbalón puede causar la pérdida de dedos o inclusive una mano. Lo mismo aplica en toda ocasión que se agregue una rampa adicional al camión. Observe donde pone las manos y pida ayuda para levantar la rampa adicional.Los puntos que pueden prensarle se encuentran alrededor de las bandejas/cubetas. Nunca se suba a una bandeja y asegurese que na-die se encuentre trabajando bajo la carga. Si el operador de la grúa o el camión no puede ver el derramamiento, asegúrese de asignar a una persona califi cada para dar señales. Cuándo esté colocando cemento con una bandeja, debe de saber la capacidad de la grúa, no la sobrecargue. Una prueba de elevación es aconsejable. Evite balancear la bandeja cerca de cables de alto voltaje. El contacto con un cable de alto voltaje puede causar la muerte o lesiones.Cuándo esté aplicando un compuesto de cura al cemento, use el equipo protectivo apropiado. Aditivos químicos pueden causar quemaduras. Verifi que el manual apropiado de MSDS con su su-pervisor. También recuerde que el cemento mojado es conductor de electricidad. Toda la herramienta y cables deben de hacer tierra, y no permita que las agarraderas metálicas hagan contacto con cables elèctricos o focos de luz.

MANTENGA UNA DISTANCIA SEGURA ENTRE USTED Y CAMIONES EN MOVIMIENTO O MAQUINARIA, ESPECIALMENTE CUANDO ESTÉN RETROCEDIENTO. EL OPERADOR PUEDE TENER UNA VISIÓN LIMITADA
