	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lieu

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to amend Section 7104 of the Labor Code, relating to
workplace safety.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 857, as introduced, Lieu. Workplace safety: floor support.
   Existing law specifies requirements to support temporary flooring,
if the span of floor exceeds 13 feet on a multifloor building, other
than a structural steel framed building, more than 2 stories high in
the course of construction.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 7104 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
   7104.  If a span of a floor on a building exceeds 13 feet, an
intermediate beam shall be used to support the temporary flooring,
but spans not to exceed 16 feet may be covered by three-inch planks
without an intermediate beam. The intermediate beam shall be of
 a  sufficient strength to sustain a live load of 50
pounds per square foot of the area supported.
