OSHA scaffold regulations are currently found in the 1926 and 1910 standards. Most scaffolds are governed by 29CFR1926, Subpart L. This standard applies anytime a “construction-type activity” is to performed from the scaffold. This is true even in general industry (1910 type) facilities. The location of the scaffold does not determine the standard applicability, but rather the activity to be performed on the scaffold.
