Scaffold safety in Lincoln is primarily governed by federal OSHA standards (29 CFR 1926 Subpart L) since Nebraska is a federal OSHA state. All scaffolds must be designed by a qualified person and support at least four times the maximum intended load. Scaffold platforms must be at least 18 inches wide, and guardrails or personal fall arrest systems are required. The Lincoln Building Code (LMC Ch. 20.06) requires construction permits and may impose additional requirements for scaffolding adjacent to public rights-of-way. LMC 20.06.650 through 20.06.710 address construction fencing and demolition safety that may apply to scaffold operations near public areas. Contact Lincoln Action Center at (402) 441-7511 for enforcement and current rules.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
