Scaffold safety on construction sites in Riverside County is regulated by Cal/OSHA under Title 8 CCR §1635-1670 (Construction Safety Orders). Scaffolds over 20 feet require a professional engineer's design, and all users must receive competent-person training.
Scaffold safety in California is regulated statewide by Cal/OSHA under Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, Article 21 (§1635-1670) and General Industry Safety Orders §§3276-3301. Key requirements: scaffolds must be designed, erected, moved, dismantled, or altered only under the supervision of a Cal/OSHA 'competent person.' Scaffolds over 75 feet require a California-licensed engineer's design; suspended scaffolds and tall fixed scaffolds over 20 feet trigger engineering review. Fall protection is required at heights of 7.5 feet and above (guardrails or personal fall arrest systems). Guardrails must be 42 ±3 inches with midrails and toeboards. All scaffold users must receive training from a qualified person covering hazards, fall protection, and safe use. Tagging (green/yellow/red) indicates safe-use status. Electrical clearance from overhead lines: 10 feet minimum for up to 50 kV. Inspections are required before each shift and after any modification. Construction permits from Riverside County Building & Safety may reference scaffold compliance. Cal/OSHA cites violations with penalties ranging from $100 to $158,000+ for willful/repeat violations.
