Coronovirus Safety Stand Down

COVID-19 BEST PRACTICE TASK FORCE

AGC of Colorado’s Best Practices Task Force is asking all AGC/C members to hold Coronavirus Safety Stand Downs at their jobsites on Thursday, April 9th. The Coronavirus Safety Stand Down is a national movement orchestrated by AGC of America. The event will occur throughout the day due to the stand down being on a rolling schedule to help limit large crew gatherings. Click HERE to view a special message from AGC of America CEO Stephen E. Sandherr on why you should participate. AGC of America’s safety team has crafted guidelines to help you organize the stand downs in a socially distanced way and provide content to share with your teams. Please click HERE to download the stand down resources kit. The kit includes a simple guide to participate in the stand down as well as toolbox talks and other resources.

Draft agenda for Thursday’s Coronavirus Safety Stand Down:

1. Rolling stand-downs will begin between 9:00 and 10:00. All groups limited to no more than 10 people.
2. AGC of America’s Coronavirus Toolbox Talk will be reviewed.
3. Highlight the new signage and posters for COVID-19 Safety that AGC has made available.
4. Stress that the COVID-19 protocols are safety requirements that are equally important as other safety requirements on the project. (For example, as important as fall protection.)
5. Stress the need for workers to maintain social distancing and not take breaks with anyone other than their small work crews.
6. Stress that we are under a microscope in terms of the public and there is still a potential to be shut down.
7. Wearing face coverings when on site shows the public we are taking this seriously.
8. If you don’t follow the rules, you will be told to leave the job.
9. If we don’t follow the rules as a group, the job could be shut down.

Additionally, the AGC of Colorado’s Best Practices Task Force is encouraging every contractor to purchase an AGC COVID-19 Prevention banner for each of their jobsites. The banner represents the commitment and solidarity to workers, their families and the communities in which we work. Order your banner from Gary at Ken’s Reproductions (gsmith@kensrepro.com) or click HERE to download.

Please email info@agccolorado.org if you plan to participate in the Coronavirus Safety Stand Down and let us know approximate number of employees participating so that we can update AGC of America and the local media.

Through Colorado State University’s CM Cares program, B&M Roofing of Colorado, donated supplies and services to reroof the Mochan Family’s house in Fort Collins.

After the tragic death of both parents, the children of the Mochan Family moved in with their aunt and the number of household repairs needed to accommodate the three children soon surfaced. CM Cares was contacted to assist in restoring the family’s home.

CM Cares is a construction management department initiative that promotes service-learning by infusing leadership traits, team building and ethics through community service activities. It focuses on teaming students, faculty, staff and industry partners to assist with construction-related projects for people with special needs or local community service agencies needing assistance that cannot be provided by other sources.

“CM Cares would not be possible without the generosity of the construction industry. Not only do they donate construction materials and time, but the biggest impact they provide is mentorship for our construction management students,” said Khristy Jesse, CM Cares & Career Development Coordinator. “Over the past 10 years, the CM Cares program has provided more than 2 million dollars in construction projects improving the quality of life for community members or non-profits in need of accessibility modifications.”

During the home inspection, CM Cares noticed the shingle roof on the home needed to be replaced. With the help of Tracy Spence from American Roofing Supply and Josh Howe from Atlas Roofing Corporation, B&M Roofing reroofed the Mochan Family household’s roof at zero cost to the family.

“By partnering with Colorado State University’s CM Cares, B&M Roofing was given the opportunity to use our skills and abilities to completely change a family’s life,” said Scott Kawulok, Vice President of B&M Roofing. “Thank you to CM Cares, American Roofing Supply and Atlas Roofing Corporation for helping us alleviate the suffering and pain from the Mochan children and give them hope for the future.”  

With the flourishing home building industry, we understand the importance of supporting industry-leading publications. We know how important it is for print and online magazines to receive support from companies like us, and we are committed to staying active in the home-building and contracting industry. That is why we placed an advertisement with the Modern Home Builder Magazine.

The Modern Home Builder is a must-read resource for industry professionals. The readers of the publication include elite builders and designers of single and multifamily homes throughout North America. Through their print and digital magazines, website, and social media outlets, Modern Home Builder keeps the industry leaders in the reemerging housing sector informed of market trends, noteworthy projects, and new players in the industry.

As one of the founding members of The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress, B&M Roofing’s Vice President, Scott Kawulok was proud to award five very deserving Colorado State University students with The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress Scholarship.

About B&M Roofing

B&M Roofing started in 1947 with one truck and a vision. Since then, we have expanded to serve the majority of Colorado and its surrounding states. After 70 years, our commitment to customer service and our vision for the future remains the same.

About The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress

In 1996, The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress set out to improve the roofing industry by bringing together all industry segments to help fund research and educational programs; provide timely and forward-thinking industry responses to major economic and technological issues; and enhance the long-term viability and attractiveness of the industry to roofing workers. Now, after more than 20 years of hard work and during one of the most difficult economic climates in recent history, the Alliance hasn’t lost sight of these goals – it is as engaged as ever and continues to work to advance the roofing industry.

B&M Roofing of Colorado is proud to announce that Vice President Scott Kawulok was appointed to the National Roofing Contractors Association’s executive board at the NRCA’s mid-year meetings in Chicago.

As part of the NRCA’s leadership, Scott becomes a vital part of one of the construction industry’s most respected trade organizations. Since 1886, the NRCA has worked to improve the roofing industry’s practices, education and safety. Drawing members from virtually every specialty in roofing, from architects and municipal agencies to materials manufacturers and contractors, the NRCA strives to improve every aspect of the roofing industry.

Scott’s no stranger to NRCA activity. In 2009, he graduated from the NRCA’s Future Executives Institute, and previously sat on its Board of Trustees. He’s also served on the Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress’ board of trustees, and is a past vice president and president of the National Roofing Legal Resource Center.

We’re excited for Scott’s inclusion as part of one of the nation’s leading roofing trade organizations and to help push B&M Roofing’s Commitment to Safety to the group.

Every year about 100 construction workers die from falls, and 13 times as many are seriously injured. Did you know homeowners can play a role in promoting roofing safety among contractors?

Falls are the leading cause of death among construction workers, and falls from rooftops are the most common type of fall. Nobody wants their property to be the site of an accident, and working with contractors who take precautions to protect their workers is the first step to preventing those kinds of accidents.

When evaluating a bid from a contractor, consider its commitment to safety as well as the price it provides. In many cases, it’s common to get a low bid from a roofing company because they’re not committed to safety. Ask your contractor the following questions to ensure you’re choosing one that supports safety:

• Do your workers work directly for you? Workers who are independent contractors aren’t covered by the roofing company’s workers’ compensation insurance, and, in many cases, aren’t insured at all.
• Do you have workers’ compensation insurance? Ask to see a copy of the insurance certificate. Colorado law requires all employees to be covered by workers’ compensation.
• Do your workers use safety equipment on site? Lifelines, guard rails and secured ladders are used by responsible roofers.

Experience isn’t protection enough. Even veteran roofers with more than a dozen years of experience can fall from a roof on even a routine residential job.fal

B&M Roofing takes our dedication to safety very seriously. In addition to regular fall protection trainings, we have company-wide safety meetings twice a year, weekly Tool Box Talks to discuss safety procedures and OSHA requirements and new-hire safety orientations.

With OSHA’s national fall stand-down push May 7-11, we’re working internally to ensure all our employees play it safe whenever they’re on a rooftop. While roofers can do our part, it’s up to homeowner to rely only on reputable contractors as well.

B&M Roofing took home the Colorado Roofing Association’s 2017 1st Place Division 1 (Residential Roofing Project) Award for its roofing restoration project on a condominium site in Denver, Colorado, The Perrenoud. B&M Roofing removed the existing shingle roofing down to the wood deck, repaired the deck and installed a new underlayment and shingles. The materials used were 30# Felt, Moistureguard Ice and watershield by TAMKO, Leakbarrier Valley Flashing (metal flashings and accessories) and  Owens Corning Trudefinition Duration Storm – Brownwood.

Given the age and historic characteristics of the building, there were several unique items that needed protection. The Perrenoud is home to a priceless stained glass mural worth over $20,000, one of Denver’s oldest operational cable elevators and very old historic relics including an old safe, wine cellar, elaborate railings, carpet tile and dumbwaiter system. These antiques are all very susceptible to interference and damage by any water intrusion that may occur.

The only access to the building was through a very narrow courtyard, with custom stained glass windows that needed protection from falling debris. “We had to work around HVAC work, remove security gates and fences while hoisting dumpsters with less than one foot of clearance to thread through for loading and downloading materials and waste,” said Brad Taylor,  Vice President at B&M Roofing and a Colorado native. “All the challenges were worth it to provide a beautiful historic building with a much needed new roof system.”

Everyone likes to show off their best work. Unfortunately when your best work is attached to commercial and residential buildings up and down the Colorado Front Range, it gets a little tough. That’s why we showcase our best work in photo galleries. They’re just easier to browse.

Our Residential Gallery shows off some of the more creative and impressive uses for asphalt shingles, slate tiles or shake roofing.

The Sheet Metal Gallery takes a look at some of the projects we’re most proud of, including Coors Field and drone photographs of commercial and residential roofing.

Turn to the Commercial Gallery for some of the best shots of our most ambitious projects, including IKEA, the Denver Coliseum and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
