Cam Fentriss ◆ FRSA Legislative Counsel Are Apartment Complex Owners Trying to Rewrite License Laws? An ugly and important piece of legislation came up during the 2015 legislative session. It did not pass, but it does need our attention right now. The legislation would have created an exemption from construction licensure for apartment maintenance workers to perform repairs on heating and air-conditioning equipment and water heaters. Obviously that does not include roofing, but I am very sure the intent was to add it and more in the near future. Why do I say that? For two reasons: First, the exemption would have been available to certain workers who completed a national apartment association course consisting of “90 hours of courses or online content that covers electrical maintenance and repair; plumbing maintenance and repair; heating, venting, or air-conditioning system maintenance and repair; appliance maintenance and repair; and interior and exterior maintenance and repair.” Why would you need to take a course for “exterior maintenance and repair” to work on HVAC equipment or water heaters? You would not, but it would sure make it easy to come back in a year and simply add the word “roofing” to the exemption. Second, there is little doubt that apartment complexes would much rather use their own inexpensive maintenance staff to perform roof repairs, rather than pay a licensed roofing contractor. In fact, I think a pretty good argument can be made that the only reason they are looking to add this exemption in law is because they have likely been caught overstepping and their solution is to change the law rather than comply with it. How did this get any traction at all? Don’t our elected officials realize how stupid it would be to give the seal of approval to grossly unqualified low-level employees performing life safety work in buildings that house hundreds of people? I cannot answer the second question, but I can answer the first one: there was a very strong political push to pass this legislation (the lobbyist for the apartment group is one of the most powerful in Florida). All too often, if it is about big 8

money politics, it doesn’t matter whether or not the legislation is stupid or harmful or all wrong for the state of Florida. One legislator pushing for this actually said on the record that an apartment owner should have the right to make the choice to invalidate warranties in favor of using exempt and lesser workers. That sounds so good, except for the fact that the Legislature is not here to help commercial businesses cut corners and roll the dice. Government’s concern here should be for the safety of the tenants, not the building owners or managers (they can take care of themselves and should not need to have their hands held by politicians). Now that the legislative session is over, why should you care? Because this will come back up and you need to make sure your legislators hear from you before it is proposed again. Please tell them that this exemption would ensure that Florida has even more property damage and greater failure to comply with building and energy codes. Also, since it is pretty well known in the construction industry that this is already a hotbed for unlicensed activity, it also makes a lot of sense for you to take this opportunity to have your contracts reviewed by your attorney to make sure that they contain a clear statement about any work performed by anyone unlicensed, even if exempt from licensure.

Trent Cotney ◆ FRSA Legal Counsel

Big Brother is Watching: OSHA and Social Media For those of you that are a part of the FRSA Public Relations Committee or Board of Directors, you have heard me advocate for the use of social media in promoting the Association. Most companies in the roofing industry also use some form of social media for advertising. However, as with anything that is available to the public, roofers should be careful what they publish on social media because “Big Brother” may be watching. While defending roofers throughout the United States in Federal OSHA matters, we have encountered a variety of techniques used by OSHA inspectors and assistant area directors to assist in their prosecution of citations. These techniques include a review of social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. pointing to photos of roofers on projects without fall protection. Most of these posts are issued by either marketing employees or third-party SEO firms. While the message is great and important for promoting your business, we have had several instances where OSHA has used photographs posted on Facebook or Twitter in an attempt to support a roofer’s lack of safety training or use of fall protection. Fortunately, in each case, our response was that the individuals in the photograph are not actual employees of the roofer on a job site but were third-party “actors” used for marketing purposes. Regardless, under the current ultra-aggressive Department of Labor, it is important that you keep a watchful eye on marketing posts that show or potentially show any employee of your company without fall protection or otherwise violating an OSHA standard. In addition, review your website and make sure that all the content that has been published on your website is “OSHA compliant,” meaning that there is nothing that OSHA would deem offensive or contrary to existing safety regulations. This would include photographs and text throughout the website. Again, most roofers do not create their own websites, and they are hosted and authored by third-party companies. These companies may understand the latest analytics and mobile optimization, but know nothing about roofing or safety. Therefore, it is important that management review the content so that it is not surprised during an OSHA proceeding when the website is used to support claims that the roofer does not advocate a safe working environment.

Building on a Strong Foundation – FRSA Staff Over the past few years, FRSA has made major changes and huge strides to position the Association as an industry leader. With a strong Executive Committee and Board of Directors leading the way, staff has worked diligently to meet and exceed many of the goals outlined in the FRSA Strategic Plan. Let me give you a little background information about the Association. FRSA is one of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) affiliate partners and is their largest regional affiliate group. Keep in mind; most of the other affiliates are multi-state groups, while FRSA represents only Florida. Our membership numbers far exceed other groups, as does our convention and expo. FRSA is fortunate to have a full-time staff of eight, who cover everything from membership services to code issues. Then add an Educational Foundation that produces industry specific seminars, a Credit Union offering financing and banking options and a Self Insurers Fund for workers’ compensation insurance and safety training, and you have an unbeatable foundation to build your business upon. Let me introduce you to your FRSA team members: Mike Reed, CPA, Accounting Mike is one of our long-term staff members, who has worked for the Association for 23 years. He handles the accounting and investments for all of our entities and ensures the financial integrity of the FRSA. Mike is also the first staff person most convention attendees meet, as he runs the registration desk for us. One of his many duties onsite is to sell, collect and organize the Educational Foundation raffle. In addition, Mike is staff liaison to the Governmental Affairs Committee and the Advisory Committee. Janette Irizarry, Office Manager Janette is another long-term staff member, who has worked for us for 16 years. Hers is the friendly voice greeting you when you call our offices. In addition to handling our phone system, Janette also works as the

Administrative Assistant for the Executive Director, coordinates the thousands of pieces of mail sent out, assists with convention and expo duties as needed, and organizes the Educational Foundation Training Center for groups renting the facility. No organization would be successful without someone like Janette paying attention to day-today office details. Mark Zehnal, CPRC, Director of Technical Services Mark is no stranger to FRSA, having served on the Board of Directors prior to joining the Association staff three years ago. Mark provides members with guidance on state and local codes and regulations, as well as insight into specific roof system applications. Whether you are a roofing contractor who has a question about a project or a manufacturer looking to better understand the process of obtaining a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, Mark has a broad range of knowledge. His always-growing network of professional relationships means that if Mark doesn’t have an answer to a specific challenge, there’s a good chance that he will know who to call to find a solution. Mark is also staff liaison for the Codes and Regulatory Compliance Committee. Cheryl Sulock, CMP, CSEP, Director of Convention and Expo Two years ago, we were fortunate enough to have Cheryl join our team. Previously, she had worked as our contact at the Orange County Convention Center, handling our show onsite. Cheryl organizes all the details of the Convention and Expo to make sure the events are successful. This year she’s made some awesome changes to both events and converted all of our paper registration documents to an online format. Registrations, payment and confirmations are now instantaneous, saving everyone time and money. Cheryl also heads up the social media for all of FRSA’s events. In addition, she plans the quarterly Board of Directors and Committee meetings, is staff liaison to the Young Professionals Council, the

Meghan Roth, Educational Foundation Director Meghan joined our team four months ago as the director of all programs for the Educational Foundation, including seminars and training, scholarships, membership, developing Endowment contributions and the Silent Auction. To date, she has secured donations for the Silent Auction, the annual fund-raising event for the Foundation, from 90 different companies. As a past FRSA Scholarship Recipient herself, Meghan understands the need for fund-raising. She also coordinates events in the Educational Foundation Training Center and is staff liaison to the Educational Foundation Trustees and the Endowment Board of Governors.

Adrienne Paul, Customer Service Representative Adrienne has been with the Credit Union for three years and is the customer service representative for the Credit Union. She’s a jack-of-all-trades, working with members on loans, opening accounts, collections and anything else that may need to be handled. The very successful roof loan program allows contractor members to offer their qualified customers a financing option for roofing projects up to $15,000.

Back to Basics with TAMKO Complete We’ve all heard the same thought expressed in many ways: bread and butter, blocking and tackling, and back to basics. Whatever you call it, a return to focusing on a primary objective and how it’s done can be very helpful. At TAMKO Building Products, Inc., going “back to basics” is realized in the TAMKO Complete program. TAMKO Complete addresses the needs that are important to homeowners by offering shingle features with a powerful combination of cut, color and coverage. This gives customers the look they want and the limited warranty they need. “TAMKO Complete is a program based on a roofing industry contractor survey that identified the three main factors in roofing purchase decisions,” said TAMKO Vice President of Sales and Marketing Stephen McNally. “The results were shingle style, shingle color and shingle limited warranty. We’ve simplified the findings of the survey to cut, color and coverage for the TAMKO Complete program.”

warranties are also included within the TAMKO Complete concept of coverage. Coverage includes the critical period of time during which both materials and the labor to install them are covered at 100 percent (labor does not include tear off, removal or disposal). TAMKO’s Vertical Integration Adds Value TAMKO’s focus on vertical integration provides significant value to our customers. For many products, TAMKO produces them directly from raw materials, enabling supervision of every step in the manufacturing process. Owning and operating several raw material plants provides a competitive advantage. “Maintaining greater control over the entire manufacturing process enables TAMKO to produce high quality products,” McNally said. “It also gives us great confidence in backing products with our limited warranty protection.”

Cut Homeowners can choose from a variety of popular TAMKO shingle cuts to customize the appearance of their home. Homeowners may select from the cuts and angular lines of Heritage Vintage, the wider cut and wood shake appearance of Heritage Woodgate, and the classic look of Heritage Premium and Heritage. For contractors, the Heritage cut application method helps add speed and reduce waste. Only two cuts are re- More Contractor-Focused Than Ever quired to start five courses.
