The "free" version, and the type of question indicate that this is your homework. I believe the forum guidelines are specific
about this. You should check that out before responding or posting more.
Thanks. Best of luck.

If OSHA doesn't apply, 1.5 is the typical factor of safety against structural overturning. I'm not aware of it being directly codified, except through the load combinations used to check against overturning (e.g. 0.6D + W). You would also be able to find it referenced in your foundations text.
