The Hawaii State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations' Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division announced Thursday that it has issued citations to Color Dynamics, Inc. for exposing workers to falls and electrical hazards.

The investigation was triggered on Sept. 11, when an employee fell approximately 50 feet and sustained fatal injuries. Color Dynamics, Inc. will have an opportunity to contest the citations.

The safety violations were related to work on a flat roof 50 feet above the ground during September 2013. Employees were not adequately protected from falls while working at elevated locations.

Contrary to the HIOSH standards, Color Dynamics, Inc. did not provide guardrails or nets and did not enforce the use of or provide personal fall arrest systems in good condition in all elevated work locations. HIOSH standards require the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems or personal fall arrest systems for work 6 feet or more above the surface. Employees also were not trained in the methods they could use to protect themselves from a fall.

As a result, Color Dynamics, Inc. was cited for two serious violations for deficiencies in the company safety program, four serious violations for failing to provide adequate fall protection to employees working in elevated locations, two serious violations for failing to give and document adequate fall protection training, and one serious violation for failing to ground electrical power cords. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known about.

In addition, an other-than-serious citation was issued because Color Dynamics did not provide water for its employees on the job site. Other-than-serious violations are those in which injuries are expected to be treatable by first aid measures.

Penalties for the two citations totaled $63,250.

To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call HIOSH at (808) 586-9116.

Under the Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Law of 1972, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. HIOSH's role is to ensure these conditions for Hawaiis working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Atlas Roofing Corp. will be displaying its full line of roof components at the 2014 International Roofing Expo (IRE). The show, to be held Feb. 26-28 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, is the foremost roofing construction and maintenance event in the nation.

The theme "Four Of A Kind Wins" is more than just a pithy play on the Atlas presence in Vegasits also a motivating statement about what contractors can expect when they quote and install a complete Atlas Signature Select Roofing System on residential projects. Contractors who visit Atlas booth # 2115 will find out specific details about how to "win big" by working with Atlas.

Atlas will showcase the four components of its Signature Select Roofing System, starting with high performance shingles. SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) construction in StormMaster Slate and StormMaster Shake shingles ensure extreme weather protection and lasting durability. Pinnacle Pristine architectural shingles bring added dimension with a multi-layered aesthetic appeal to any roof.

A second component of the Signature Select Roofing System, Pro-Cut Hip & Ridge featuring Scotchgard Protector, are pre-cut to save time on the roof and enable a more consistent job every time. Pro-Cut Hip & Ridge shingles provide peak performance and protection in both Sunbelt and Snowbelt climates.

Atlas Pro-Cut Starter Strips, the third component on a Signature Select roof, protects the roof edge by filling in the spaces under the cutouts or shingle edges for the first course of exposed shingles. WeatherMaster SBS Peel & Stick may also be used for eaves and valleys.

Additionally, IRE attendees will have the opportunity to learn how Atlas is changing the way contractors view roofing underlayment, the fourth component of the Signature Select System. The booth will feature the companys premier underlayment, Gorilla Guard EVERFELT and SUMMIT Synthetic, along with WeatherMaster.

HP Technology will be another highlight at Atlas booth #2115. The Atlas stamp, Built with HP Technology, placed on Pinnacle Pristine, StormMaster Slate and StormMaster Shake shingles indicates five unique features that directly benefit roofing contractors. HP Technology helps contractors perform more efficiently, with greater profitability. These shingles are wider and longer, needing fewer shingles per square. They also have FASTAC double sealant lines with twice the adhesion capability on shingle-to-shingle contact, allowing for 130 mph wind speed coverage. Measurements are further simplified with a larger exposure, also allowing for greater curb appeala major selling point.

These technology advantages on the three high performance shingle lines come in addition to Scotchgard Protector, which provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty against algae streaks and stains on the roof when installed with Atlas Pro-Cut Hip & Ridge shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector.

Atlas knows that what's under the roof matters, too. That's why Atlas is bringing its Techni-Flo Roof Ventilation System to IRE. It is engineered to allow consistent intake and exhaust airflow underneath the covering of a steeped-sloped roofing system.
