Where must the construction Code of Safe Practices be kept?
Explanation
Section 1509(c) requires the Code of Safe Practices to be posted at a conspicuous location at each job site office, or to be provided to each supervisory employee, who must have it readily available. The licensed business address is where the Contractors State License Board expects a licensee's records to sit; it is not where Cal/OSHA expects the Code, and a crew in the field cannot read it there. Nothing in Title 8 requires the Code to be filed with the Division in advance - the Division asks to see it during an inspection. The permit board carries the building permit and, on qualifying work, the section 341 Cal/OSHA activity permit.
