Scaffolding on construction sites must comply with adopted International Building Code and OSHA standards, with permits required for scaffolds encroaching into public rights-of-way.
West Jordan adopts the International Building Code under Title 15 of the Municipal Code. Scaffolding used on permitted construction projects must meet IBC Chapter 33 safeguards during construction and OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L requirements. Scaffolds extending over sidewalks or streets require a right-of-way encroachment permit from the Engineering Division, and pedestrian protection canopies are required where scaffolds are adjacent to public walkways.
