Scaffolding in unincorporated LA County must meet Cal/OSHA Title 8, Subchapter 4 safety standards for construction. The LA County Building Code (Title 26) requires pedestrian protection canopies when construction scaffolding is erected along public sidewalks and rights-of-way. A Public Works encroachment permit is required for scaffolding extending over public property. Scaffolds must be designed by a licensed engineer if over 3 stories or if supporting unusual loads. Workers must receive scaffold safety training before use. Guardrails, toeboards, and fall protection are mandatory on all scaffold platforms above 7.5 feet. Weekly inspections by a competent person are required. The LA County Department of Public Works inspects public-way scaffolding installations.
Cal/OSHA violations for scaffold safety deficiencies carry fines from $1,000 to $25,000 for serious violations and up to $156,259 for willful violations. Building code violations may result in stop-work orders.
