Folsom scaffolding on public right-of-way requires an encroachment permit from Public Works. On-site scaffolding is governed by Cal/OSHA Title 8 and the California Building Code adopted by Folsom Municipal Code Title 14. Pedestrian protection required when scaffolds are over walkways.
Scaffolding erected on private property as part of an active construction project falls under the building permit issued by Folsom Community Development. Compliance with Cal/OSHA Title 8, Article 21 (Scaffolds) and the 2022 California Building Code Chapter 33 (Safeguards During Construction) is mandatory. When scaffolding occupies any portion of a public sidewalk, street, or parkway, an encroachment permit is required from the Folsom Public Works Department under FMC Title 12. Pedestrian canopies or covered walkways are required when a scaffold is erected over a public way and the structure exceeds certain heights. Lighting, reflective markings, and barricades are required at night. Contractors must maintain a C-3910 scaffolding qualification or work under a licensed general contractor. Inspections occur at erection and periodically through the Building Division.
Working without a permit: stop-work order plus doubled permit fee. Unsafe scaffolding: Cal/OSHA citations and Folsom red-tag.
