I had a request for CalOSHA Stuff, so I looked around and sure enough – there is a good amount. For Non-California viewers and international types (you know who you are) – The USA has the federal OSHA, but the states can opt out of the federal OSHA plan as long as their regulations are as strong, or stronger, than the federal OSHA. Hence, this stuff is at least as good as what OSHA requires.
Below are materials on scaffolds:

OSHA publishes their field manuals, plus items called ‘CPL’s.’ CPL (short for ‘compliance’) documents are the actual guidelines that OSHA uses when performing inspections. No, really.
Some of these are very long and involved, but if you want to know what OSHA will look for on your job, look here. I have no posted all of them, but here is a sample. To get the rest, go to http://www.osha.gov and do a search for “CPL.”
