MEDIA ALERT
PopUP House Opens its Doors to the Public with Series of Events at Petaluma Prototype
Petaluma, CA – August 9, 2010 – The award-‐winning PopUP House, a standout in modular home design, is hosting a special series of Open House events in Northern California. Bicoastal designer and artist Hally Thacher conceived of the PopUP House and in 2009 installed the original prototype home on her land in the lush hills of Petaluma, where she lives for part of the year. Now Thacher is inviting the public into her home while she’s in residence throughout late summer and early fall, so visitors can experience first-‐hand why the PopUP House was selected as a Top 20 finalist in Dwell Magazine’s 2010 ‘Houses We Love’ competition.
At each Open House guests will have the chance to talk with Thacher about what she learned during the 12-‐week construction phase of her PopUP House and how it feels to inhabit her own creation. She and her team will be on hand to discuss the benefits of design features such as the energy-‐efficient SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) used for the home’s walls and ceilings, the integration of indoor and outdoor living space created by the galvanized steel ‘shed’ overhang and eco-‐friendly recommendations for everything from appliances to furnishings.
Sustainably built from its foundation to its innovative agricultural shed superstructure, House Port’s PopUP House defies preconceptions about prefabricated housing. Thacher and her team have put together a flexible design plan that allows for stylish yet budget-‐friendly customization options, making this ready-‐to-‐assemble home anything but cookie-‐cutter.
Come out for this unique opportunity to see how the PopUP House makes a beautiful home.

House Port’s first official prefabricated home, the PopUP House, was constructed in Petaluma, CA in 2009. The company aims to provide economical, ‘green’ housing design in ready-‐to-‐assemble form, with flexibility to allow for customization. For more information, please visit: www.ehouseport.com

Legislature Moves Bills As It Winds Down
BY: Phil Vermeulen, Legislative Advocate
I'm happy to report that all of our bills (which I discussed last week) are still moving through the process and should be headed to the governor by the end of the session which is Midnight on Tuesday, August 31st. I will have more to report next week. Of course, the budget is still far from settled. "Word" is that they may well pass a "quick fix" budget which then allows the state to continue working and have them come back after the November election when there will be many "lame ducks" who have nothing to lose who will have the compunction to approve a "real" budget. Of course, rumors abound this time of year and just as one legislator will agree with the aforementioned, another will agree with the rumor that they may actually wait until January when a new governor comes in to "get 'er done." Regardless, something absolutely has to be done SOON, because IOUs may be issued starting in September. I recognize the seriousness of this mess and will keep you posted as I learn anything new. Unlicensed Contractors Attorney Barney Kamine (whom I work closely with) emailed me the other day asking me to send out my "feelers" to my colleagues about addressing the problem known in law as "substantial Compliance." In essence, existing law requires a contractor to be licensed at all times OR an owner is not legally bound to pay him, even if the time he was unlicensed was brief. Following are Barney's comments followed by another interesting case that was recently decided which ruled that a prime contractor is liable for the costs of an unlicensed sub's employees. The obvious difference between the two is that the prime used a sub who was unlicensed throughout the duration of the project. Barney's Comments B&P Code section 7031 has gotten more and more Draconian. It is now being used left and right by one sophisticated contractor against another contractor to screw the latter because of glitches in its license history. As a mediator, yesterday, I settled a case among 3 sophisticated contractors on a public works project; one of the participants was threatening to try to recoup all the money paid to another, for work that was fine, just because the latter had a glitch in its license history during the project. The license law is supposed to protect consumers from unlicensed contractors, not to allow one contractor to get a windfall against another one because of license history glitches. To mitigate a little bit the impact of section 7031, I propose the following two amendment to subsection (b):
(1) Add after "contractor" the following language "for the construction or improvement of residential property consisting of one to four units." This language comes from Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.95(a) - a statute designed to provide additional protection to consumers over the protection provided to all other participants in an arbitration. (2) Delete "unlicensed," and add at the end, "during the time the contractor was not properly licensed." The subsection will then read (new language underlined like this, deleted language in boldface italic like this): (b) Except as provided in subdivision (e), a person who utilizes the services of an unlicensed contractor for the construction or improvement of residential property consisting of one to four units may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in this state to recover all compensation paid to the unlicensed contractor for performance of any act or contract during the time the contractor was not properly licensed. Cleaned up, the section will read: (b) Except as provided in subdivision (e), a person who utilizes the services of an unlicensed contractor for the construction or improvement of residential property consisting of one to four units may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in this state to recover all compensation paid to the contractor for performance of any act or contract during the time the contractor was not properly licensed. Although I would like both changes, either one alone will go a long way to correct the unnecessarily Draconian reach of this statute by limiting the disgorgement provision to just consumer construction and/or to just work performed when the license was, in fact, not properly in place. NOTE: Neither of these changes to subsection (b) will have any effect whatsoever on the subsection (a) bar in all situations against suing for money NOT paid if there is a glitch in the license (section 7031(a)). These changes will only prevent the after-the-fact screwing of one contractor by another who has paid for perfectly good work but now seeks to get the money back - EXCEPT for consumer construction.
McClennon Law Group Article
Sanders Construction Co., Inc. ("Sanders"), a general contractor, subcontracted with Humberto Figueroa Drywall Company ("Humberto") for drywall work. Humberto had no license during the work. Humberto employed several workers who claimed that they were not paid. These employees brought a claim against Sanders with the Labor Commission, who ruled that Sanders had to pay them. The Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that section 7031 of the Business and Professions Code, which bars recovery by an unlicensed subcontractor, does not apply to employees who receive wages as their sole compensation.
General Contractor Liable for Wages of Employees of Unlicensed Subcontractor.
(Sanders Const. Co., Inc. v. Cerda (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 430.)
Sanders Construction Co., Inc. (“Sanders”), a general contractor, subcontracted with Humberto Figueroa Drywall Company (“Humberto”) for drywall work. Humberto had no license during the work. Humberto employed several workers who claimed that they were not paid. These employees brought a claim against Sanders with the Labor Commission, who ruled that Sanders had to pay them. The Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that section 7031 of the Business and Professions Code, which bars recovery by an unlicensed subcontractor, does not apply to employees who receive wages as their sole compensation.
Background
Sanders contracted with Humberto to provide drywall work on an Hesperia hotel. For several months Sanders paid Humberto, who was supposed to pay its workers. Differences arose as to the quality of the work and the amount Sanders was supposed to be paying Humberto. Sanders discovered that Humberto’s license had expired before the parties entered their contract, but Sanders chose to have Humberto complete the project anyway. A few months later, Humberto stopped work on the project.
Six of Humberto’s workers filed a claim with the Labor Commission for unpaid wages. At the hearing, both Sanders and Humberto claimed that the other party was responsible for paying the workers. Citing Labor Code section 2750.5, the hearing officer held that the workers of an unlicensed subcontractor were the employees of the general contractor and awarded the workers their unpaid wages. Sanders appealed the decision to the superior court, which also awarded the workers their unpaid wages. Sanders took the matter to the court of appeal, asking for an answer to the legal question of whether or not a general contractor may be held liable for the unpaid wages of workers hired by an unlicensed subcontractor.
General Contractor is the Employer of Unlicensed Subcontractors and Their Workers
The court of appeal first cited several cases holding that unlicensed subcontractors are, under Labor Code section 2750.5, the employees of general contractors, and that by extension the unlicensed subcontractors’ workers are employees of the general contractor as well.
Sanders argued that this claim for unpaid wages by the workers was barred by section 7031 of the Business and Professions Code, which bars any subcontractor from suing to recover compensation if the subcontractor is unlicensed at any time during work. The court disagreed, pointing to Business and Professions Code section 7053, which makes it clear that section 7031 does not apply to an employee who receives only wages as compensation and does not control the manner of performance.
Comment
This case illustrates a serious danger of contracting with unlicensed subcontractors: by statute, the subcontractor and its employees become the employees of the hiring party, and the hiring party is ultimately liable to pay their wages.
I'd welcome any comments and thoughts on either of the issues. I can be reached at [email protected].

Tightening the Belt
3 money-saving marketing tactics
When times get tough, it's tempting — and easy — to pull back a little from your marketing plans. But diverting resources from marketing can harm your business in the long run. Here are three cost-saving strategies that might work for your business when money is tight, but just be aware and cautious in your use of these tactics to be sure they are going to work for you rather than against you.
1. Use freelancer marketing support in the right ways. For a small business, freelancers are a great resource. For example, if you need a snappy new website, you can find someone specifically matched for the project and take them on without the overhead of permanent employment. But when there's new information to add to your site, will anyone in-house be able to make changes? For example, if you run a tax accounting firm and new regulations have been issued that affect your clients, it may be better to use in-house staff to strategize and communicate these changes in your company's voice. A freelancer might not be able to pick up all of the nuances that are important to your customers. If doing the work in-house is truly out of the question, at least ensure that someone on your staff works closely with any freelancer so that information provided to customers is right on target.
2. Consider creating an intern program. Of course you always want to be able to handle any marketing needs that you have. Perhaps you think you don't need a freelance designer because one of your staff took a Photoshop course in college. Think again. Stretching staff beyond their comfortable roles can lead to confusion and disorganization, and can impede progress. If you don't have a budget for paid freelance help, consider starting an intern program. A small accounting firm for example, can tap into area colleges and universities and find students eager to gain some real live experience for school credit. But remember that you need to assign someone to manage interns that will really help them add value to their education.
3. Manage your marketing priorities, no matter what. Wherever you are in your growth cycle, it's critical to find someone to handle marketing priorities — even if that person is you. Reach out to your target audience on whatever scale you can afford. If you run a local fence building and design company, for example, you could focus your marketing efforts on getting referrals — contact all your happy customers by calling them on the phone to check in on how they like their new fence, then ask for a referral. When marketing is not marginalized, you will likely find you had the time and budget all along.
MARIN COUNTY Marin businesses on delinquent tax list The California Franchise Tax Board is chasing 305 Marin County companies who have yet to file their 2008 tax returns.
Throughout the state more than 40,000 companies, including about 8,000 in the Bay Area, failed to file 2008 returns. The Tax Board attributes the delinquency to the economy, claiming many companies simply can not afford their taxes.
Each year the state loses roughly $6.5 billion in unpaid taxes from individuals and businesses. Last year, they collected about $38 million after tracking down non-filing businesses.
Among Bay Area counties, Santa Clara County led with 1,903 companies that did not file 2008 income tax returns. Others were Alameda County, 1,761; Contra Costa County, 1,315; San Francisco, 771; San Mateo County, 711; Sonoma County, 560; Solano County, 482; and Napa County, 195.
WEST MARIN Windmill farm study in West Marin An international energy company is moving into West Marin to test the potential for a windmill opera-tion on ranches near Dillon Beach.
NextEra Energy Inc., a Florida-based renewable and clean energy company with 15,000 employees in 28 states and Canada, has applied for zoning permits to build two, 197-foot-tall ridgetop research tow-ers on farms near the Marin-Sonoma border. The proposed location of these towers are a few miles from Dillon Beach. The towers would test for wind and meteorological conditions, bats and birds.
Each tower would be equipped with a solar panel to power small scientific devices, and relay data wire-lessly for offsite analysis.
County zoning officials will review the research tower this week. Planning officials claim the com-pany's permit request has merit under county planning policies, but they are recommending a number of conditions, including installation of aviation lights and a colored band at the top of the towers for air-plane safety.
One tower would be built 1.5 mile from Dillon beach. Another would be put 3 miles from Dillon Beach.
NextEra, based in Juno Beach, Fla., is the nation's largest generator of wind and sun power. Its holdings include the Diablo Wind Energy Center in Alameda County, Wind Power Partners in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, and Sky River Wind Energy Center in Kern County.

Kalb's Q&A for Contractors By David Kalb, President of Capitol Services, Inc. Getting the best information in a timely fashion is a key to success in almost any endeavor. When licensed by the government, this information is crucial to operating legally and can be a ‘good news – bad news’ situation when uncertain of the facts. I’ll share the ‘low’ down with a contractor seeking to keep his current number… Q: Just a quick question as I am getting conflicting information. Our CEO who has been with the company 30+years needs to become the new Qualifier. The current Qualifier, although still active in the company, is semi-retired (we are trying to be proactive in order to keep our low license number).
Our attorney told us that since he is an officer of the company and is listed on the license with the CSLB we can fill out a form, pay a fee and have him become the license holder and Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) under our current number. My secretary then called the CSLB yesterday to inquire about the form and fees and was told that the above approach is no longer acceptable and he will need to take the exams in order to become the new RMO. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
A: You are the third person to recently email me about this issue. The ‘bad’ news is that effective September 1, 2003, the Registrar used his discretion regarding exam waivers pursuant to section 7065.1(a). This section of law previously permitted a waiver of the exam for applicants who had been listed on a license in good standing for five of the past seven years and were pursuing a NEW original contractor’s license. The ‘good’ news is that exam waivers under Contractors License Law section 7065.1(b) – the so-called “family waiver” -- and 7065.1 (c) – the so-called “supervisory waiver” ARE still available.
I know this for a fact since I was part of the industry group that met with the Registrar of Contractors and his staff in 2003 to discuss the overall topic of exam waivers. The situation you describe is covered under subsection (c) and allows for an officer or other supervisory employee to replace an existing RME or RMO with a waiver.
However, it’s not quite as simple as your attorney indicated since the applicant (i.e. new Qualifier) must: have someone certify his background; clear fingerprinting, and go through a few other steps to become the Qualifying individual. While the law allows for a waiver, IT IS NOT REQUIRED and is subject to review by CSLB staff. I have seen instances where the CSLB has refused to grant a waiver because the applicant had not made the proper written request; showed a Worker’s Compensation exemption on file while requesting a “supervisory employee” waiver or had various license suspensions that resulted in the applicant having less than 5 of 7 years credit as experienced. The best news is whether or not an exam is required the company’s license number will remain the same.
Q: We have sent in the application to change the Responsible Managing Employee (RME) on our license. The new RME “Jim” is listed on our other license that was issued in 2000. He received the fingerprinting kit for this application. Is there a way that the state can use the existing fingerprints they have on file? A: Not possible. This license from 2000 was prior to the CSLB fingerprint program, which started in 2005. If they had fingerprints on file for “Jim” the computer would not have printed out new forms. Unless he can show proof of having had this done through the CSLB, he’ll need to get this taken care of to complete the current application process.
While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assistance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write me at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

Think Twice About Being Your Own Advertising Spokesperson
I was watching the local news the other day with my husband, who, like me, spent many years working in advertising. During one of the commercials, for a nearby auto dealership, a nice-looking couple was shown shopping for a new car. My husband and I were so impressed with the dialogue between the young couple we kept watching the commercial to see where it would go. But no sooner had the ad captured a modicum of our attention, up pops a rather heavyset guy with a bad haircut and an ill-fitting suit. He starts forcefully telling viewers to "come on down" to his store location. It was, to say the least, horrendous.
Without stereotyping local auto retailers as some of the worst ad creators on the planet, I do have to ask: why would anyone consider hawking their products looking like a two-bit huckster or hustler? To me, you have to have a giant-sized ego to not realize how bad such a commercial really is. Imagine how it reflects on your brand! And what does it say about you and the kind of company you run?
Now, I understand that small business owners can't afford to have Sally Field market their product on television, or Morgan Freeman do their radio voiceovers (wouldn't that be nice?). But you can use some level of common sense and recognize that you are not a paid actor with a nice face, good demeanor, and a quality voice that plays well on TV or the radio. Let's face it, most of us are just not camera-ready. If you're really convinced that having a spokesperson in your ad is critical, then call your local recording studio and ask them who they would recommend. You'll be surprised what a small "casting call" of local talent can do in terms of gaining a quality presence that reflects well on your brand, at a reasonably affordable price.
That said, it's not as if being your own spokesperson is always a big no-no. We have a local furniture company here in New England that has five retail locations in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. Ads for Bernie & Phyl's have been on local TV stations forever.
They have been running ads for so long that the husband and wife team now appears to be semi-retired. In fact,
their three children have taken on spokesperson recording duties for the store's television campaigns. And you know what? I actually don't mind their commercials. When I think about why I feel kindly toward them and not the screaming auto salesman, it boils down to three things: they have a very consistent message, they live their family values through the commercials they present, and they seem like nice people I wouldn't mind having as neighbors. As a result, I'm predisposed to think highly of their brand, whether or not I ever step foot into one of their stores.
So, before you decide to personally promote your product or service in a commercial, give it some thought. More often than not, you're better off taking yourself out of the picture in favor of putting someone in that can embody and reflect the true essence of your brand.
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
By Sam K. Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman
This is a case where the court had to determine whether a worker was an independent contractor or one covered by workers’ compensation. The short answer was that the worker was an independent contractor and not an employee. Jose Luis Lara was hired to prune bushes for a diner that leases space from a hotel. While performing his duties, he suffered injuries to his head, lower back, neck, right shoulder, arm, and thumb when he fell from the roof of the hotel. During the hearing, Lara testified that he had been gardening, painting, pipe fixing and doing graffiti removal for twenty-five years. He charges by the hour. Sometimes he “contracts” for the entire day. He also brings his own equipment with him. Lara also pays his own taxes. The diner did not take out any taxes when they paid him. The manager’s wife of the diner arranged for Lara to do gardening work at the diner on two separate occasions and at separate times. After the first occasion there was no indication as to whether he would be asked back to perform more work. The second time he went to the diner, was about a year after the first time he performed work for them. Lara was asked to trim bushes along the roofline, which was when he fell from the roof. Lara filed a workers’ compensation claim. The Workers’ Compensation Judge found that Lara was employed by the diner as a gardener and was injured in the course of employment. The diner filed a Petition for Reconsideration of the findings. The Board granted reconsideration and found that although he was injured while attempting to prune bushes for the benefit of others at the diner, Lara was an independent contractor and thus not entitled to workers’ compensation. Lara had testified that he handled his own taxes, and contracted with numerous individuals to perform specific jobs. There was no evidence that the diner had the power to control the details in pruning the bushes or the method by which Lara performed any of the tasks. Therefore, Lara was an independent contractor.

Punctures and Cuts Punctures and cuts are common on-the-job injuries. Punctures occur when objects such as splinters, nails, glass, and sharp tools such as scissors and knives pierce the skin and cause a small hole. Cuts occur when sharp objects, including knives, scissors, sharp metal edges, and glass slice through the skin superficially or into the deeper layers of fat, tendons, muscles, and even bone.
The best way to deal with cuts and punctures is to avoid getting them in the first place. Wear appropriate clothing on the job such as sturdy shoes or work boots, long sleeve shirts, and long pants. Consider sturdy coveralls to protect your skin from sharp and flying objects. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate to your job tasks such as gloves, safety glasses, work boots, gauntlets, and chaps.
Follow safe work practices and know how to use your tools properly. Inspect, maintain, and replace your tools when necessary. Always use the correct tool for the job. Ensure that blades on cutting tools are sharpened; dull cutting surfaces can cause accidents. When working with sharp tools, always know where both of your hands are at all times. Practice good housekeeping with your sharp and cutting tools by sheathing and storing them properly. Place tools far back on workbenches and shelves, not against the edge where someone walking by might get stuck.
If you have to pick up broken glass or metal shards, use a broom and a dustpan or pieces of cardboard. Never pick up broken glass with your bare hands. Dispose of sharp objects properly in rigid sided containers that will not get punctured and spill. Label these containers with the word “Sharp” to warn coworkers of the hazard. Never reach into a garbage can with your hands or try to “tamp” it down with your hands or booted feet in case someone has improperly disposed of a sharp object or even a syringe. To properly dispose of syringes, pick them up with tongs and place them into hard plastic medical waste containers.
If you receive a puncture or cut on the job, notify your supervisor immediately. If you can, gently wash the area with soap and water. To stop bleeding, apply gentle pressure to the wound with clean gauze, cotton, or other absorbent material. When bleeding has stopped, apply an antibacterial ointment and a clean dressing to the wound. If you cannot stop the bleeding, if the wound is very large, or if you are impaled with an object, seek medical attention. Watch your wounds for signs of infection including fever, severe pain, redness beyond the wound edge, swelling, warmth, or pus drainage. Get medical attention immediately if you suspect infection.
If your wound was caused by stepping on a nail or other sharp object in contact with the soil, you may be exposed to the bacteria that cause tetanus. Consider getting regular boosters for tetanus every five to ten years. If your wound was caused by a needlestick, seek medical testing and treatment due to a potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Consider a Hepatitis B vaccination if you are exposed to potential needlesticks.
Any way you cut it, puncture and cut wounds expose you to pain and potential infection, so avoid them through good work practices!

Pinchazos y Cortaduras
Los pinchazos y las cortaduras son lesiones comunes en los sitios de trabajo. Los pinchazos ocurren cuando objetos tales como astillas, clavos, vidrios o herramientas filosas (como tijeras o cuchillos) perforan la piel y causan un pequeño agujero. Las cortaduras ocurren cuando objetos filosos, incluyendo cuchillos, tijeras, bordes metálicos filosos o vidrios cortan la superficie de la piel o con más profundidad llegando a tejidos grasos, tendones, músculos y hasta a huesos.
La mejor forma de tratar las cortaduras y pinchazos es evitarlos. Use la ropa apropiada en su trabajo, tal como calzado resistente o botas, camisas de manga larga, y pantalones largos. Considere overoles resistentes para protegerse la piel contra objetos filosos o que vuelan. Use los equipos de protección personal (PPE, por sus siglas en inglés) apropiados para las tareas que hace, tales como guantes, anteojos de seguridad, botas de trabajo, guantes reforzados (gauntlets) y chaparreras.
Cumpla con las prácticas seguras de trabajo, y conozca cómo usar sus herramientas correctamente. Inspeccione, mantenga y reemplace las herramientas cuando sea necesario. Siempre use la herramienta correcta para cada tarea. Asegúrese de que las cuchillas de las herramientas de corte estén afiladas; las cuchillas sin filo pueden causar accidentes. Al trabajar con herramientas filosas, siempre esté consciente de dónde tiene las manos en todo momento. Practique el buen orden y aseo con las herramientas filosas metiéndolas en sus fundas y guardándolas debidamente. Coloque las herramientas en la parte trasera de los anaqueles y bancos de trabajo, no cerca del borde donde alguien que pasa pueda lesionarse.
Si usted debe recoger vidrios rotos o esquirlas metálicas, use una escoba y recogedor, o un pedazo de cartón. Nunca recoja vidrios rotos con las manos. Deseche los objetos filosos debidamente en recipientes con lados rígidos que no se puedan perforar ni causar derrames. Rotule estos recipientes con la palabra “Sharp” para advertir a otros trabajadores del peligro. Nunca meta las manos a un bote de basura ni trate de apisonar la basura con las manos o las botas en caso de que alguien haya tirado objetos filosos a la basura o incluso hasta una jeringa. Para desechar debidamente las jeringas, recójalas con pinzas y colóquelas dentro de un recipiente de plástico rígido para desechos médicos.
Si usted sufre un pinchazo o cortadura en el trabajo, notifique a su supervisor de inmediato. Si puede, lávese suavemente el área con agua y jabón. Para detener el sangrado, aplique presión suave a la herida con una gasa, algodón u otro material absorbente limpio. Una vez que ha parado el sangrado, aplique un ungüento antibacteriano y un vendaje limpio a la herida. Si no se logra parar el sangrado, o si la herida es muy grande, o si tiene un objeto metido en la herida, procure atención médica. Observe que la herida no presente indicios de infección, incluyendo fiebre, dolor fuerte, enrojecimiento alrededor de la herida, inflamación, calor o pus. Procure atención médica de inmediato si sospecha que tiene una infección.
Si la herida fue causada por pisar un clavo u otro objeto filoso en contacto con la tierra, usted puede haberse expuesto a la bacteria que causa el tétanos. Considere recibir un refuerzo a su vacuna contra el tétanos cada 5 a 10 años. Si la herida fue causada por una aguja hipodérmica, procure atención médica para hacerse análisis y recibir tratamiento contra posibles agentes patógenos presentes en la sangre. Considere recibir una vacuna contra la hepatitis B si usted está expuesto a pinchazos de posibles agujas hipodérmicas.
¡Sin importar cómo sucedan, las heridas por pinchazos o cortaduras lo exponen a dolor e infección potencial, así que se deben evitar cumpliendo con las buenas prácticas de trabajo!
