Scaffold safety on Stockton construction sites is regulated through SMC Title 15 adopting the California Building Code, supplemented by Cal/OSHA Title 8 General Industry Safety Orders and California Labor Code Sections 7150 through 7157. All scaffolding must meet Cal/OSHA standards and be erected under the supervision of a competent person.
California Labor Code Sections 7150 through 7157 establish scaffold safety requirements that apply to all Stockton construction projects. Scaffolds must be designed to support at least four times the maximum intended load. All scaffolding over 36 inches above the ground must have standard guardrails and toeboards. Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 1637 requires scaffolds to be erected, moved, dismantled, or altered only under supervision of a competent person. Workers on scaffolding above 7.5 feet must use fall protection. Planking must be scaffold-grade lumber or manufactured platforms and must extend at least 6 inches beyond supports. The Stockton Community Development Department requires encroachment permits for any scaffolding that extends over public sidewalks or streets. Scaffolding over public areas must include overhead protection for pedestrians and appropriate signage. Construction sites must comply with all applicable Cal/OSHA safety orders, and the city may halt work for scaffold safety violations.
