Construction Dust: Does Your Insurance Policy Consider It A Pollutant?

We all know that there are pollutants on construction sites. These can include noxious fumes that may be hazardous for workers and building residents. But what about construction dust?

This question was raised in a recent Northern District of Georgia insurance coverage decision. This case illustrates the intricacies of understanding insurance policies and what they cover. Specifically, it points to the Absolute Pollution Exclusion, which often is present in a General Liability Policy.

What the Absolute Pollution Exclusion Permits

An Absolute Pollution Exclusion in an insurance contract removes coverage of pollution exposure resulting from normal operations. It allows insurance companies to preclude liability for any pollutionrelated lawsuits that involve their customers. In the 1980s, this provision became popular after insurers were on the hook for numerous lawsuits against pollution-producing companies.

injury’ or ‘property damage’ which would not have occurred in whole or part but for the actual, alleged or threatened discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, release or escape of ‘pollutants’ at any time.”

Further, the policy described a “pollutant” as “any solid, liquid, gaseous or thermal irritant or contaminant, including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, chemicals and waste.”

What the Court Considered

In reviewing the case, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia had to determine if construction dust did or did not meet the definition of “pollutant” per the policy. Also, based on Georgia What This Case Involved law, the court was tasked with considering if the policy In Love Lang v. FCCI Insurance Company, 530 language was clear or ambiguous. If ambiguous, the F.Supp.3d 1299 (N.D. Ga 2021), Joel Edgar Love Jr. lived policy should favor the insured. in an apartment building where construction work was The court reviewed several previous decisions being done. He sustained injuries due to the amount in studying the pollution exclusion at issue. In some of construction dust produced when the construction cases, lead paint and carbon monoxide gas were workers removed bricks from part of the apartment categorized as pollutants, but in other cases, nitrogen building. They accomplished this by drilling holes in the and natural gas were not. Regarding the natural gas grout, then cutting those holes and taking the bricks determination, the earlier court stated that exposure out. This process resulted in large clouds of dust ento natural gas is not necessarily hazardous and does tering apartment units. not necessarily result in injury. The court also ruled The construction dust itself was not toxic. It did not that the insurer should not be able to sell a liability contain lead, asbestos or other dangerous substances. policy to a company that handles natural gas but then exclude coverage for damages related to natural gas.

In most cases, the dust would have been considered As for nitrogen, an earlier court determined it was not harmless. However, Joel Love had emphysema and a pollutant because it naturally exists in the air. Also, the dust adversely affected his unhealthy lungs. the insured company stored liquid nitrogen and would When it accumulated in his apartment, he had to be hospitalized. be expected to be insured for a nitrogen leak.

Love initially complained about the dust, but the Based on those decisions, the Love Lang court workers continued the project. Then he filed suit could have ruled that construction dust was not a polagainst the construction company and the building lutant, which would have meant that FCCI would have owner. (Love passed away before the case was dehad to cover the claim for bodily injury. However, the cided, so the plaintiff was Michelle Lynn Love Lang, court did not take that stance. administrator of Love’s estate.) The construction company’s insurer was FCCI Insurance Company.

How the Court Ruled FCCI denied coverage for this matter based on the Instead, the court explained it was “sympathetic to insurance policy’s pollution exclusion. According to Plaintiff’s position and the circumstances of this the policy, “This insurance does not apply to: (1) ‘Bodily case.

‘pollutant,’ i.e., an ‘irritant or contaminant’ under the circumstances here where Plaintiff has alleged that the dust, whether due to its accumulation or otherwise, caused Mr. Love’s difficulty breathing and ultimate ICU visit.” Further, “a cloud of dust, even absent toxicity or other impurities, is a substance that was an ‘irritant’ and a ‘contaminant’ to Mr. Love and his respiratory system.” Rather than focusing on whether construction dust was always a pollutant, the court focused on whether it was an irritant for a specific plaintiff.

The case ended with a summary judgment, no appeal was filed and the lawsuit was dismissed. It is interesting to note, however, that per the final opinion, “The Court reiterates its discomfort with this conclusion in light of the apparent absurdity of a commercial general insurance policy that does not cover activities associated with an entity’s primary business, the frequency of these pollution exclusion coverage disputes under grim fact scenarios and the harm suffered by those injured and their families, like Mr. Love and Plaintiff Love Lang. But in light of the explicit authority detailed herein, the Court can do no better.”

Advice for Contractors

The ruling in this case may serve cautionary to contractors as they sign contracts and begin work.

Insurers will likely cite this case when trying to deny future claims regarding construction dust or other naturally occurring substances on construction sites.

FRSA LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Chris Dawson, Attorney, GrayRobinson

A Look Ahead Into 2023 Happy New Year, FRSA! I hope you enjoyed a fantastic holiday season with family and friends. May the coming year bring much joy and prosperity across our great FRSA family and across our beautiful state. Now that all of the champagne bottles have been popped… what comes next?

The Florida Legislature Gets to Work

Well, that didn’t take long! The Florida Legislature was back in the business of legislating on January 3, kicking off the 2023 Regular Session with its first committee week. A December 2022 committee week was ultimately revised to a Special Session on property insurance. Don’t expect that issue to go far, as additional reforms are expected. For now, legislators will spend the balance of January and February catching up by receiving committee reports, filing legislation and – for all those freshman members elected in November – finding the bathrooms.

They will have to figure it out quickly, however, as the Legislature is set to convene in Regular Session on March 7. We know that legislators will have a healthy policy to-do list this year with major issues such as housing affordability, tort reform, local government regulation and hurricane recovery on the docket.

Further, they’ll have to figure out how to spend $100 billion-plus over the sixty-day session in order to craft the state’s Fiscal Year 20232024 budget. As always, the Florida Constitution requires legislators to pass a balanced budget.

All Eyes on the Plaza Level of the Capitol

The Florida Cabinet is housed on the Plaza Level of the Florida Capitol and most of the Cabinet will be returning for a second term, including Governor Ron DeSantis (R), Attorney General Ashley Moody (R) and Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis (R). Former Senate President Wilton Simpson (R) takes the reigns as the Commissioner of Agriculture where he has a head start from a long personal career in Florida agriculture. It will largely be business as usual for the Florida Cabinet, but the real intrigue surrounds Governor DeSantis and an often discussed – if not expected – run for President in 2024. Expect the Florida Legislature to grease the wheels for him with an early tweak to Florida’s resignto-run laws.

As you can see, there’s no rest for the weary in 2023. Fortunately, FRSA is rearing to go and we are in a fantastic position to continue advancing the interests of Florida’s roofing profession. Cheers to another exciting, productive and rewarding trip around the sun in 2023.

Management District is reviewing an application for an environmental resource permit for the project.

Called IKO Project Gator, the site is east along U.S. 301, at County Road 218 about 10 miles south of Interstate 10. While the Clay County Property Appraiser’s Office says the address is in Jacksonville, the maps show the property is in northwest Clay County, south of Duval County and east of Baker County.

Plans show the manufacturing project comprises almost 700,000 square feet of enclosed space. It will include the main manufacturing building, hot oil room, granule silos building, filler silo and product warehouse as well as an oxidizer plant, crushing plant and spur railways, according to the permit application. It also includes storage, stockpile, loading and offloading areas along with roadways.

Team FRSA Pushes Through the Tape at the End of the FBC Modification Marathon Mike Silvers, CPRC, Silvers Systems Inc. and FRSA Director of Technical Services The Florida Building Commission (FBC) met in December to consider the Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) recommendations for final changes to the 8th Edition 2023 Florida Building Code. The code modification cycle is a long and arduous process that started immediately after the 7th Edition 2020 Florida Building Code became effective on December 31, 2020. Two FBC workgroups and three meetings of the TACs – with many steps in between – had brought us to this point. With the TAC’s recommendations available, the Commission made its final decisions on what changes will occur when the new code takes effect on December 31, 2023.

For this code modification cycle, FRSA developed 29 code modifications (mods) and took positions on 87 roofing related mods submitted by other entities. Of the 29 FRSA mods, 28 were approved and will be incorporated into the code and one was denied due to a conflict with similar code language that was passed in May by the Legislature during a special session and is now in statute and the current code. This modification addressed a “25% Rule” exception that the Legislature liked and modified. While property insurers were due for some much needed relief, I believe the changes unfortunately went a little too far. Of the 87 modifications submitted by others that we took positions on, the TACs and Commissioners agreed with FRSA’s position on nearly all of them.

These extraordinary results may make FRSA’s accomplishments appear easily attained. That perception, however, would be completely inaccurate. We succeeded thanks to the extended efforts by a group of dedicated volunteers who work on FRSA’s Codes Committee and Subcommittee, the FRSA-TRI Tile Manual Review Committee and especially those who serve on TACs and the Building Commission. In particular, FBC Commissioner Brian Swope, CPRC, Tampa Roofing Company, Roofing TAC Chair and FRSA Past President, was instrumental in moving our positions forward.

12

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2023

Some industry members described a group of our most important changes as “ambitious” and that is a fair assessment. We were attempting to: 1.

Clarify the current five-page underlayment requirements for roof coverings other than tile and incorporate them into the HVHZ,

2. Bring the code’s weak HVHZ prescriptive tile underlayment methods into ASCE 7 compliance and 3. Standardize underlayment test methods.

This certainly proved challenging. At the same time, we were trying to convince the Board and Code Administration Division of Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources that providing a proper load path for tile and using selfadhering underlayment applied direct-to-deck (SAU-DD) was not some kind of a scheme on our part. As hard as we tried to engage Miami-Dade officials over the past year, our concerns continued to be dismissed. Their opposition to our changes – changes that were embraced by the roofing industry – seemed untenable, if not completely unreasonable. From our perspective, nothing we sought to accomplish should have been controversial.

The first change in this group of mods was simplifying and condensing the steep slope underlayment requirements. The modifications to accomplish this were produced with the assistance and input of Greg Keeler, Owens Corning, and Eric Stafford, IBHS. It was approved by the Commission as part of the Roofing TAC’s “consent agenda” of approved recommendations. The next modifications brought the Miami-Dade sections of the code for tile underlayment up to the standards available for use in 65 of 67 Florida counties; this included the option to use a SAU-DD. These modifications were approved individually by the Commission after a request by Miami-Dade to pull them from the consent agenda.

At this last stage in the process, we needed to reach a vote threshold of 75 percent in order to have any of our modifications approved by the Commission – a very high bar to overcome but one we were able to achieve throughout the afternoon thanks to a very accomplished group of FRSA volunteers (pictured or mentioned on these pages) who testified before the Commission on behalf of our positions. We also want to thank Aaron Phillips, ARMA, Eric Stafford and Milad Shabanian, IBHS, Scott McAdam, BOAF, and Mike Shubert, Palm Beach County, who all offered important support at the meeting.

Other significant code modifications submitted by FRSA that were approved include: ■ Adding a method to install a new roof covering over an existing SAU-DD for tile, similar to methods we added to other steep roof coverings during the last code cycle. This important change last cycle set the table for the adoption this cycle of SAU-DD in all of Florida.

Maury Alpert, Codes & Compliance Manager, Polyglass U.S.A., Inc. Manny Oyola, FRSA Vice President, FRSA Codes Subcommittee Chair, Eagle Roofing Products.

Manny’s efforts were instrumental in assembling this group. His continued commitment is invaluable.

■ Adding industry standards for tile underlayment test methods to the code statewide.

■ Changing the definition of roof covering system to the industry recognized roof system and clarifying that a roof system does not include the deck. The deck is already defined as part of the roof assembly.

■ Updating and getting the FRSA-TRI Florida High Wind Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual re-accepted as a code reference standard twice.

Once for ASCE 7-16 and then again for the newly adopted ASCE 7-22.

■ Improving the wind performance of asphalt shingles by requiring drip edge to be installed over underlayment with cement under shingles unless an SAU is used over primed metal flanges.

Mike Silvers, CPRC, FRSA Past President, FRSA Director of Technical Services.

■ Adding a requirement for clearance of lines, pipes, conduit and cables from the underside of the deck.

■ Replacing important repair language that was inadvertently removed when the FBC adopted new language during a reorganization of the repair chapter to align with the International Building Code.

■ Changing the language “replaced” to “replaced or recovered” to clarify portions of the 25% Rule. This eliminates an interpretation that you could not recover more than 25 percent of a roof.

■ Adding secondary water resistance requirements to all wood structures with steep roofs, not just singlefamily residential structures.

■ Adding to the minimum deck flange for drip edge in the HVHZ to resist rotational forces created by wind.

When one considers the 28-1 record we achieved, the other beneficial industry mods we helped across the finish line with our support and our opposition to unhelpful mods that were eliminated, it is clear that FRSA, the roofing industry and, thereby, Florida’s citizens all fared exceptionally well from our efforts during this code modification cycle.

Installing Self-Adhering Underlayments Direct-to-Deck: Pros and Cons Greg Keeler, Technical Services Leader, Owens Corning Science & Technology If you’re a roofing contractor in South Florida, you’re certainly aware of the quandary that is posed when confronted with underlayment options. This is especially true when it comes to use of a self-adhering underlayment.

The recent landfall of Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida was a stark reminder of the perils that face homeowners in South Florida. We’ve all witnessed scenes of widespread damage to roof coverings of all types: tile, metal panels, asphalt shingles, etc. Thus, the topic of how to protect the roof deck and the building below it when the roof covering is damaged or blown off becomes critical. One of the best ways to provide protection from water intrusion into the structure is to install a self-adhering underlayment directly to the roof sheathing. After all, these products are designed and tested to be adhered directly to wood sheathing, not to #30 felt or synthetic underlayments.

Let’s jump into the advantages and disadvantages of adhering the underlayment directly to the deck.

The table below was developed in cooperation with multiple industry stakeholders, including a Florida code enforcement agency. I’m sure we didn’t capture everything, but it’s a fairly comprehensive list.

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

Best option for sealed roof deck

Potential for moisture problems (when installed over an unvented attic)

High uplift resistance

Reroofing concerns (difficult or impossible to remove)

Cost effective

Can’t inspect deck nailing

Less labor intensive

Requires clean and dry deck when installed

No exposed fastener penetrations Direct load path into sheathing Lower installation variability Easiest code-compliant installation Seals around roof covering fasteners 14

As the table below indicates, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. In fact, a couple of the suggested “disadvantages” essentially conflict with each other: if the products being installed on a deck that isn’t 100 percent clean and dry was really an issue (and how often is “dry” even possible in South Florida?), they wouldn’t also be difficult or impossible to remove when reroofing.

There has been a lot of testing done in the past few years to determine if a prescriptive #30 felt mechanically fastened base sheet with a self-adhering underlayment installed over it can provide any meaningful uplift resistance. What we found is that such a system, even when installed with the greatest attention to detail, provides far less uplift resistance than that which would be required by the Florida Building

This Project Description: uplift resistance rating would be achieved by testing to failure using one of two testing protocols: FM 4474 ■ Single family home or UL 1897. These protocols utilize the same proce■ 160 mph wind zone dure of starting with a negative pressure of 15 psf and ■ 20’ Mean roof height holding for one minute, then increasing by 15 psf increments and holding for one minute each increment until ■ Exposure Category C the product fails. A 2:1 safety factor is then applied to ■ Adhered concrete tile the last pressure at which the product passed. Thus, a ■ Self-adhering underlayment approved for use product that meets the 102.8 psf uplift requirements under tile would need to pass at a minimum 205.6 psf pressure.

That is more than double the pressure that is required If this home is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the underlayment requirements are prescrip- by Section 7 of TAS 103.

One of the primary arguments I hear regarding adhering underlayment directly to the deck is related to reroofing. As was mentioned above, once these products are adhered to the deck, they are virtually impossible to remove without damaging the sheathing. In that situation, one option is to install a mechanically fastened slip or anchor sheet over the existing underlayment, then install (if desired) a new layer of self-adhered underlayment over it. In this scenario, in the event the new slip or anchor sheet blows off the roof, the roof deck is still protected by the layer of self-adhering underlayment that couldn’t be removed.

I know I’ve thrown a lot of numbers and technical information at you, but I urge you to answer this fundamental question: If a hurricane is bearing down on your home, would you feel more comfortable with a self-adhered underlayment tive and would require that the underlayment meet the adhered directly to your roof sheathing or a self-adrequirements of TAS 103. Section 7 of the TAS test hered underlayment adhered to #30 felt that is nailed protocol stipulates that (4) 8 foot by 8 foot test decks to your roof sheathing?

I know for me the choice is are constructed and underlayment is applied directly clear. to the plywood (which doesn’t reflect permissible conFRM ditions in the HVHZ). Then a 5 foot by 5 foot chamber is placed over the underlayment and negative presGreg Keeler is the Technical Services Leader for sure (suction) is applied to the deck, starting at 15 psf.

Ergonomic Guidelines – Using Four-Wheel Carts in Roofing, Part Two Dr. Ken-Yu Lin and Dr. Zhenyu Zhang, SHARE Lab College of Built Environments, University of Washington In last month’s issue, we discussed overexertion in cart operations, cart condition and maintenance and tire selection. In this article we’ll address workspace setup and site pre-task planning.

Example 1: Poor workspace setup

Workspace Setup – Space Constraints

Space constraints or tight spaces, are common on a commercial roofing site.

They come from physical restrictions of the site or are a by-product of bad Example 2: Narrow passage workspace setups. Be cautious when pulling a cart in tight spaces as they require a higher degree of cart control precision and will increase the risk of overexertion. Here are some examples of space constraints.

Example 1: Poor workspace setup – A temporary ramp is placed in front of Example 3: Bad Example 4: Improperly a penetration, which creates a limited housekeeping stored materials landing area for moving a cart onto the ramp. The landing is uneven and poorly set up. The worker has to overcome the uneven surface from the limited space and then pull along the ramp.

This significantly increases the risk of narrow passage, extra force is needed to minimize overexertion. lane deviation.

Example 2: Narrow passage – Workers have to Example 3: Bad housekeeping – Construction apply a greater force to position a cart into the narrow debris sits along the path, forcing workers to pull the passage. The extra force could be adding 12 percent cart through a tight space.

Example 4

An open space allows operators to build enough cart momentum and sustain relatively constant velocity before contacting the obstacle. In contrast, cart speed is relatively lower in a tight space like the example shown above. Operators cannot depend on cart momentum and thus need to apply a much larger force to not only get over the obstacle but also initiate the 42

cart movement. In this case, even a small obstacle will make a big impact.

Example 4: Improperly stored materials – Bundled materials are improperly placed in the path of cart movement which creates a very narrow passage for cart operation.

obstacles. As shown in the diagram below, starting by moving the cart at least two feet away can reduce injury rate by five to nine times. This is because the open space allows operators to move the cart fully and build momentum to overcome the obstacle.

How to Reduce Space Constraints?

■ Position the ramp at a better place to eliminate space constraints.

Build a smooth landing for the ramp to ensure the path of travel is free of obstacles.

■ Team pulling or pushing is needed when the space constraint is unavoidable. Ensure good housekeeping so the path of travel is free of obstacles.

■ When an obstacle cannot be removed, keep an open and clean workstation so that workers can start by moving the cart at least two feet away from the obstacle.

Always consider setting up a ramp to bridge an obstacle.

Building a stable ramp with a gentle slope is the key to It takes more than two feet to get a cart moving and significant pulling force is required during this time. This initial force is three times more than the forces required to sustain the cart movement. A tight space won’t allow a cart to move fully, so operators must continually apply the initial force, which increases the risk of overexertion.

Keeping an open space is extremely important when operators need to pull over obstacles. As shown in the diagram to the right, moving the cart at least two feet away can reduce injury rates by five to nine times because open space allows operators to move the cart fully and build momentum to overcome the obstacles.

keep cart safeon and productive.

The handling results are based an experiment in which peak/mean hand forces were measured when a brand-new four-wheel roofing cart loaded with 500 lbs was pulled by one operator to overcome a 1.5” plywood obstacle from travel distances of 0.5’ , 2’ and 11’ . All differences shown here are statistically significant at the level of 0.05. The strength percent capable was obtained through synchronizing postural and force data in the software 3DSSPP. Further analysis indicates that operators are exposed to a similar level of injury risk when travel distances are more than 2’ (including 11’).

Ramps

Ramps provide an aid for raising or lowering material carts, but they will cause safety problems when not set up properly. Building a stable ramp with a gentle slope is the key to keep cart handling safe and productive.

How Can I Tell if a Ramp is Harmful?

Moving a cart over a four-degree ramp is unacceptable for 3 in 10 of the male population and presents little additional risk compared to a flat surface. However, a ramp soon becomes a hazard when it reaches eight degrees or higher. The time required to overcome the ramp also surges by 23 to 47 percent as the slope increases. This means that workers need to apply a greater hand force for a longer time when overcoming a steeper ramp, which will greatly increase the workers’ chance of getting hurt.

Ramps should be stable with a smooth running slope and landings. Poorly set up ramps often come with gaps, obstacles and ridges that are harmful. This is because workers cannot depend on the cart momentum to overcome these hazards while moving a cart over the ramp. In the following examples, a worker’s chance of injury increases from 10 to 90 percent because of these “small” problems.

This ramp was built with loose insulation boards.

When a worker stood on the ramp, gaps were created between the two boards and between the running slope and the top landing.

Uneven running slope

Uneven bottom landing ■ Use heavy sheets to bridge gaps and make a smooth surface.

■ Extend ramp lengths or lower ramp rises to make certain the slopes are less than four degrees.

■ Some construction sites might not allow for a gentle slope because there is no room for extended ramp lengths or ramp rises are a part of the building structure and nonremovable. In these cases, a lower cartload is recommended.

These small changes will yield big results.

Uneven Running Slope, Uneven Bottom Landing

Here are some solutions to consider when building a ramp: ■ Plan ahead before building a ramp.

■ Secure boards the day before to stabilize the ramp.

Obstacles

Obstacles are common on a construction site. Moving a cart over an obstacle will increase the risk of overexertion. It is important to make certain that the path of cart movement is free of obstacles. Examples include tear-off debris, parapet walls, gas hoses or other conduits and gaps between different floor surfaces

Keep these in mind:

Team Pulling or Pushing

Load weight directly determines the amount of force that workers must exert30 when handling a cart. By applying team pulling and pushing, workers can share cartloads and minimize the risk of overexertion. This ergonomic recommendation is particularly useful when physical hazards cannot be eliminated.

In addition to preventing overexertion injuries, team pulling and pushing can help shape the safety culture in your workplace: ■ Encourages workers to watch out for each other and offer a helping hand when needed.

■ Empowers workers to build a habit of asking for help.

■ Develops a sense of unity as workers work toward the same goal.

When engaging in team pulling and pushing, set up the following guidelines:

■ Signage to assemble teamwork – when loading materials, a crane unloads bundled materials onto a cart which is then moved by workers to storage locations. By attaching signage to the bundled materials, workers will be reminded of an explicit prompt for team pulling.

■ Signage to articulate capacity – during installation, workers need to split bundled materials and transport them across a site.

Signage can remind them of the maximum load sizes a worker can handle by themselves.

■ Carts can be remodeled to allow teammates to push more easily by installing a rear handle. Similar to the warning signage, this additional handle can offer a clear reminder to consider team pulling.

Job Rotation

Job rotation requires workers to rotate between 32 different tasks and can prevent workers from being exposed to some particular ergonomic stressors for extended periods of time. By being involved in different tasks, workers can also increase their skill base, enjoy the work opportunity and become more productive. Job rotation is recommended to prevent overexertion in cart handling.

A two-hour rotation schedule is recommended and each worker should be able to handle this task within an eight-hour work shift with no more than one pull every 30 minutes. No other heavy physical activities should be performed between pulls.

What Tasks Can Be Rotated?

From a biomechanical perspective, cart handling involves forceful, sustained shoulder elevation and a forward bending posture. Workers should be rotated through some tasks that do not involve these ergonomic risk factors. Here are some generic principles you can follow: ■ No forceful pushing or pulling of equipment or materials.

■ No forceful lifting or carrying of 50 lbs. or more.

■ No objects handled above the shoulders.

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2023

Before implementing job rotation, a qualified person should conduct a jobsite analysis to ensure that the same ergonomic risk factors are not involved. A “qualified person” is one who has thorough training and experience sufficient to identify ergonomic hazards in the workplace and can recommend an effective means of correction. Formal job rotation demands a consistent and systematic method. For more detailed instructions, visit www.ergo-plus.com/learn-job-rotation/ for a step-bystep guide.

Managing a Successful Roofing Company, Part Two Last month, in part one, we covered three of the five recurring and industry-wide risk elements to potential profit or failure for a roofing contractor. These included increased project size, unfamiliarity with new geographic locations and new and unfamiliar types of installations and services. In part two, we will focus on the effects of key personal changes and a lack of organizational maturity. We will close with a few items on evaluating contract profitability.

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2023

To summarize changes in key personnel, one cause of failure is an inadequate replacement of the person or persons responsible for one of the three primary functional areas of the roofing company. Typically, the changes in key personnel that contribute to or cause problems, occur while the business is profitable.

Lack of Organizational Maturity

Evaluating Contract Profitability

I will close out with a few items on evaluating contract profitability. When discussing contract profitability, I am not referring to reviewing your contract to avoid any loopholes that may lead to less profit; I am referencing working without information. There is one thing worse than losing money on a roofing project; it is losing money and not knowing it.

Cost control is fundamental to managing your roofing business for a profit and is your primary function as an owner or top manager. All contractors who fail to profit do so because they didn’t make money in the field on their projects. The reality of our industry is that more than half of the failing contractors don’t know they are losing money until it is too late to do anything about it. Not evaluating contract profitability by project, month and activity is one of the most severe and avoidable causes of collapse and bankruptcy. Next month we will cover this vital subject and review the information and systems you need for success.

FRM

The term “managerial maturity” is used in this article to mean that roofing contractors’ managerial abilities must mature as their businesses do. They must change from doing everything themselves to building an organization that can do everything as well or even better than they did. Contractors unable or unwilling to change their organizations must either reduce their growth and level off or face the risk of outgrowing the business capabilities. Attempting to do $50 million worth of business with a $5 million organization structure is fatal. This element of failure may be the most widespread of all. It is often in conjunction with one or more of the above elements. It may be the contributing cause of all the other errors.

Mental Health Safety Kevin Lindley, Safety Consultant, FRSA Self Insurer’s Fund Mental health and illness have become a hot topic in the media in recent years. Mental illness affects people in all stages of life: every race, ethnicity, industry, occupation and age. Many people recognize they are experiencing an overwhelming amount of anxiety or depression. Unlike other chronic conditions that typically do not become known to individuals until their 40’s or beyond, mental health concerns are common in many young adults and may last throughout their entire working career.

Many safety rules and topics taught at work should be observed at home also. While this statement holds true, so does the acknowledgment that our behavior at home affects our performance at work. Although work life and home life are most often two separate entities, actions in either will have a direct impact on the other. Mental health has a direct connection to productivity, injury, illness, health care expense as well as the overall morale of the worker and everyone around them.

It is estimated that 19 percent of American adults are experiencing some type of mental illness and 46 percent of full-time American workers are suffering from mental health issues, many of which go untreated. In 2021, mental illnesses such as depression were estimated to cost employers $51.5 billion in lost productivity according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.

“Increasingly, we are hearing from employers that mental illness is one of the leading causes of disability in their workplaces and we know that it is one of the most expensive,” stated L. Casey Chosewood, Director of the Office of Total Worker Health at NIOSH. “Mental illness also tends to worsen other underlying conditions. For instance, if someone gets injured at work and they also have an underlying anxiety or depressive illness, their likelihood of returning to work quickly goes down significantly and the cost of recovery goes up. There is a growing evidence base that shows a connection between workplace stress and the development of depression and anxiety disorders.”

Chosewood also stated “Mental health is not a very well-studied area; we need a deeper understanding of all the underlying issues at play. What we do know is that workplace stress is often the result of noticeably clear hazards and harmful job demands like long work hours, little autonomy or control by workers, inconsistent supervisory practices and a poor safety climate.

These are all well-correlated with worker injury.” Even if no actual illness is diagnosed, it’s easy to imagine how a worker’s mental state might affect their ability to make good decisions and recognize potential hazards on the job.

Many employers are taking aggressive action to ensure workers maintain healthy stress levels by raising worker awareness of mental health issues and the importance of caring for their own mental well-being.

Companies are hosting expert-led talks or trainings, encouraging their workers to take their vacation time regularly, reminding workers to take regular breaks throughout the day and utilizing apps on cell phones such as Headspace or Apple Health. Some employers are obtaining healthier supervision, asserting more realistic work demands, paying adequate attention to work hours and are providing resources to workers.

Ultimately, the employee must find healthy ways to manage stress from both work and personal life. It is in the best interests of the employer to ensure employee stress is taken into consideration in all aspects of work.

Giving Back

FRSA Members Giving Back to the Community

Make-A-Wish Receives $125,000 Donation from RCASF to Grant Wishes to Children with Critical Illnesses

The roofing community is making a splash in South Florida with the largest non-corporate donation to The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida as well as a substantial donation to the International Game Fish Association (IGFA).

The Roofing Contractors Association of South Florida (RCASF), an FRSA Affiliate, is a not-for-profit trade association whose purpose is to educate and foster a high standard of business ethics among roofing contractors and associate members. RCASF members “give back” to their community throughout the year by hosting several charitable events. The RCASF Fishing Tournament is the Association’s largest annual philanthropic effort. This year, the RCASF Fishing Tournament raised a record-setting $125,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and $20,000 for the International Game Fish Association’s Junior Angler’s Educational Program.

The 40th Annual Fishing Tournament was held at Hawk’s Cay Resort in the Florida Keys. The Awards Ceremony was held at the IGFA in August. Norm Wedderburn, CEO and President of the Make-A-Wish Foundation Southern Florida said, “RCASF truly believes in our wish granting mission. RCASF has literally changed the lives of thousands of people; children and their families, who are affected by critical illnesses. We are very grateful to RCASF for their continued support.”

FLORIDA ROOFING | January 2023

“We are inspired by the work Make-A-Wish does to brighten the lives of children diagnosed with critical illnesses,” said Gene Fall, President of Certified Roofing and RCASF Fishing Tournament Committee Chairman.

“We understand the impact that a ‘wish’ has on a child.

It allows these kids to focus on a dream rather than hospitals and treatments. We are proud to support programs that can provide hope, inspiration and happiness, especially in the lives of children.”

As a non-profit receiving no government funding, Make-A-Wish relies on the support of donors to make wish granting possible. The RCASF Fishing Committee, a group of civic minded member volunteers, has already begun planning for next year’s tournament.

The date is set for June 12-14, 2023 at Hawk’s Cay Resort with the goal of brightening the lives of even more children. They encourage donations of fishing related items for auction and financial sponsorships.

If you would like to contribute, please contact RCASF. To learn more about RCASF members and sponsors, please visit our website at www.RCASF.org.

FRM FRSA is proud of the volunteer work completed by members in the industry and would like to share those projects as often as possible. If you have a community service project you’ve completed, please send it to Lisa Pate at lisapate@floridaroof.com.
