The Building Safety Section manages technical considerations relative to the design, inspection and construction of new buildings and/or modifications to existing buildings. Within the Building and Safety Section there are six regions, based on geographical assignments. Each region has both an Architectural and Engineering Unit and a Field Compliance Unit to provide plan review and field observation services. Regional Architectural and Engineering Unit The Architectural and Engineering Unit is responsible for ensuring that all plans for work within a hospital building are properly prepared by California licensed design professionals, and that the plans conform to the requirements of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Each regional Architectural and Engineering Unit is managed by a regional supervisor who oversees the work of a staff of plan reviewers comprised of licensed architects and electrical, mechanical, structural engineers, and engineering geologists, as well as fire and life safety officers. Regional Field Compliance Unit The Field Compliance Unit oversees the construction inspections of facilities within the geographic boundary of their respective region. This oversight enhances the construction quality of hospital facilities and fosters better lines of communication between OSHPD and the various architects, geologists, engineers, inspectors and contractors involved in hospital construction. A Regional Compliance Officer (RCO) supervises a staff comprised of compliance officers, district structural engineers, and fire and life safety officers. Details on working with OSHPD field staff can be found in Section 6 of this volume. Structural Services Section The Structural Services Section is charged with distinct responsibilities associated with structural and seismic considerations of buildings and building system components. It is comprised of the Seismic Compliance Unit and the Structural Support Unit. Seismic Compliance Unit The Seismic Compliance Unit is responsible for the management of ongoing compliance plans and progress associated with the Hospital Seismic Retrofit Program. Senate Bill 1953 (SB 1953) (Chapter 740, Statutes 1994) was enacted January 1, 1995. The bill was an amendment to and furtherance of the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act of 1983 (Alquist Act). SB 1953 (Chapter 740, 1994) is now chaptered into statute in Sections 130000 through 130070 of the Alfred E. Alquist Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act and is part of the California Health and Safety Code. Structural Support Unit The Structural Support Unit is responsible for the management, review, and processing for approval of Geotechnical Reports and the Pre-Approval programs for equipment special seismic certification, equipment anchorage and restraint, and standard details.

Rapid Review Unit The Rapid Review Unit is responsible for the plan review of projects with specific size, scope and complexity limitations. It was established to free up plan review resources within each region and expedite plan review processing for smaller projects. For more information about the Rapid Review Unit. Building Standards Unit The Building Standards Unit is responsible for the ongoing development of modifications to the CBSC that improve the safety and quality of the design, inspection, and construction processes in California. The group develops tools used for interpreting code called Code Application Notices (CANs) and Policy Intent Notices (PINs) that are used by designers and hospital personnel to better understand the affected regulations. Fire Prevention Unit The Fire Prevention Unit is responsible for the ongoing development, enforcement and application of code provisions that improve conditions for fire and life safety in both new and existing healthcare facilities. Inspection Services Unit The Inspection Services Unit is charged with the review of all matters relative to the quality assurance and quality control of building projects. Standards of care and practices by project inspection personnel and test laboratories are established and monitored by the unit. Practices associated with the onsite management of the Test, Inspection, and Observation Programs are evaluated and modified as needed to improve the statewide application of hospital building construction. Hospital Building Safety Board The Hospital Building Safety Board (HBSB) is appointed by the Director of OSHPD. The HBSB advises the Director on the implementation of the HFSSA and acts as a board of appeals in all matters of the administration and enforcement of building standards relating to the design, construction, alteration, and seismic safety of hospital building projects submitted to the FDD. Enforcement OSHPD FDD is responsible for determining whether a hospital is in compliance with the requirements of Titles 24 and 19 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Operating compliant facilities is a basic requirement of Title 22 of the CCR. Facility compliance is also a consideration for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) certification and for accreditation by The Joint Commission (TJC).
