Every numeric dimensional tolerance and safety factor in OSHA's scaffold general requirements (29 CFR 1926.451)

All of the specific numeric dimensional tolerances, clearances, safety factors, and spacing requirements stated in 29 CFR 1926.451 (General requirements for scaffolds), extracted from the eCFR text and tabulated so a scaffold erector or safety inspector can look up any measurement without reading the full 60,000-character regulation. Each record is one specific tolerance or requirement with its exact value in both imperial and metric units, the paragraph citation, and the condition or scaffold type it applies to. Answers 'what is the maximum gap between scaffold planks', 'how far can a scaffold plank overhang its support', 'what is the minimum platform width for a scaffold', 'at what height-to-base ratio must a scaffold be tied', 'what is the load safety factor for scaffold suspension ropes', 'what is the maximum distance from scaffold platform to work face for plastering'. Scaffolding is among OSHA's top 10 most cited standards every year (6th in FY 2025) and the numeric values are scattered across paragraphs (a) through (h) of a long regulation -- a tabulation that puts them all in one place with their paragraph citations is genuinely useful and does not exist as a structured page anywhere found.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position
US federal regulation -- 17 USC 105, no copyright.
Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
