Info

If a hospital is found in violation of Title 24, OSHPD may take either formal or informal action. Informal action takes the form of instructions to correct the noncompliant condition. Formal actions are more severe and can have damaging effects on a hospital. Examples include: • A notice to Stop Work • A noncompliance letter for work performed without a permit (commonly referred to as “bootlegged” work or unauthorized construction) Even if Licensing & Certification chooses not to take action as a result of a noncompliance condition cited by OSHPD FDD, there still remains heightened risk to the hospital from action by CMS that could materially affect the hospital’s Medicare payment or JCAHO accreditation. Noncompliance matters should be taken very seriously. OSHPD Plan Review and Permitting Processes OSHPD has several processes available for plan review, approval, and permitting. The type, size, and complexity of projects will often be the guiding factors used to determine which process is most suitable. The processes are: Standard Review, Phased Plan Review, Over-the-Counter Review, Rapid Review, Field Review, and SB 1838 Exempt. For more information about the processes available for plan review, approval and permitting. (OSHPD Best Practices) Page 6 DRAFT FINAL, Sept. 2011
Section 2: Geologic Hazards Investigation Best Practices Introduction Identification of seismic and geologic hazards present on the site of a proposed hospital construction project occurs before the design of a building is begun. Seismic and geologic hazards affecting building construction and performance may include (but not be limited to) the following: • Potential earthquake shaking • Surface fault rupture • Earthquake-induced landslides • Liquefaction • Slope instability • Weak and/or sensitive soils • Shallow groundwater • Flooding • Tsunami • Hazardous minerals It is important to note these hazards may occur in combination. Overview of the Process Among the documents included in hospital construction permit applications is a geologic hazards report. Chapters 16 and 16A (Structural Design), 18 & 18A (Soils and Foundations) and 34 and 34A (Existing Structures) of Part 2, Title 24, California Code of Regulations, 2010 California Building Code (CBC), address the required elements of seismic and geologic hazards reports to be prepared and signed by the registered engineering geologist of record (GOR) and registered geotechnical engineer of record (EOR). Applications for new projects are submitted to OSHPD, which forwards the seismic and geologic hazards report component to the California Geological Survey (CGS) for review and comment. CGS geologists and seismologists provide technical information and advice to OSHPD regarding geologic hazards with the potential to adversely affect hospitals. Using CGS Note 48, Checklist for the Review of Engineering Geology and Seismology Reports for California Public Schools, Hospitals, and Essential Services Buildings (2004, 2007, 2011), CGS’s staff prepare memoranda documenting their geologic reviews of hazard reports prepared by consultants. Of primary concern is compliance with the current building code. These review memoranda are submitted to OSHPD for incorporation into their project decision-making process. Site Investigation A site investigation is required to document the geologic conditions at the site. Projects will be rejected for failure to provide adequate and/or appropriate data. Prior to collecting data the GOR will conduct reconnaissance, such as review of historical air photos, geologic maps and data collected during previous work at the site, to understand what potential geologic issues may exist at the site and plan an appropriate exploration strategy. Exploration methods will vary depending (OSHPD Best Practices) Page 7 DRAFT FINAL, Sept. 2011
