Scaffolding must comply with IBC Chapter 33 and OSHA standards, with permits required when erected in the public right-of-way or over 10 feet tall.
Sandy City adopts the International Building Code with Utah amendments governing construction safety. Scaffolding erected on construction sites must meet OSHA 1926 Subpart L requirements for guardrails, toe boards, and load capacity. Any scaffold encroaching on sidewalks or streets along State Street, 9400 South, or in historic downtown requires a right-of-way permit from Public Works. Pedestrian protection canopies are mandatory when scaffolding is over walkways.
