RE: OSHPD Requirements
The OSHPD-regulated buildings are classified into the following categories:
OSHPD 1-General acute-care hospitals and skilled nursing and/or intermediate-care facilities.
OSHPD 2-sinle-story skilled nursing and/or intermediate-care facilities utilizing Type V wood or light steel-frame construction.
OSHPD 3-licensed clinics.
OSHPD 4-correctional treatment facilities.
The 2001 CBC contains two sets of parallel chapters 16 thru 23, and 16A thru 23A.
Chapters 16-23 are applicable to buildings not regulated by DSA (Division of the State Architect) or OSHPD and OSHPD 2 buildings.
CBC Chapters 16A-23A apply to buildings regulated by the DSA or OSHPD and OSHPD 4 buildings. OSHPD has only operational criteria for OSHPD 3 facilities.
RE: OSHPD Requirements
OSHPD is also adopting many of the new FEMA 350 - 353 requirements into their specifications. In CA, there are many OSHPD and DSA (Division of the State Architect) projects in progress or on the books.
RE: OSHPD Requirements
Thank you. I deal with most California Agencies on a regular basis and keep myself informed of the Code Amendment Notices (CAN's), Policy Intent Notices (PIN's), and all other information to keep clients informed and assure smooth plan checks. The research is well worth the effort.
