Virginia Conditions That Matter for Job Sites

Across the 193 Virginia places listed here (NOAA 1991–2020 normals by nearest station, ACS 2020–2024):

• 45 of 147 listed places have more housing built since 2010 than the U.S. 11.4% (ACS)
• 7 of 193 listed places average 120+ freezing nights a year
• 55 of 145 places with snowfall data average 20+ inches of snow

Most listed places have a smaller share of recent housing than the U.S., so renovation crews in existing buildings are a common job-site type; OSHA's table applies to them too.

Range Across the State

Across the 147 listed Virginia places with this figure (ACS 2020–2024), the low end is about 0.2% of housing units built 2010 or later (Montrose) and the high end about 66.3% (Loudoun Valley Estates); the middle place is near 7.4%.

By Climate Region

By DOE Building America climate region (county level, PNNL guide), the planning focus shifts: Mixed-Humid (191 places): summer servicing and winter freeze protection; Cold (1 place): months of freezing nights on winter jobs.

Federal OSHA or State Plan

Virginia runs an OSHA-approved State Plan, Virginia Occupational Safety and Health (VOSH) Program, Virginia Department of Labor and Industry, that covers most private-sector workers as well as state and local government workers (osha.gov State Plans, accessed 2026-10-13). State Plans must be at least as effective as federal OSHA, so check the State Plan's construction sanitation rule alongside 29 CFR 1926.51.

The federal minimum, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1):

Worked examples: 15 workers need 1 toilet; 45 workers need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals (45 ÷ 40 rounded up); 210 workers need 5 seats and 5 urinals (210 ÷ 50 rounded up).

Who Handles Local Rules

For a unit placed in the street, on a sidewalk or in another public right-of-way next to the job site, the government to ask depends on where the site is. Of the 193 listed Virginia places, 61 are incorporated, 132 are unincorporated Census-designated places. In an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough; in an unincorporated community, ask the county. We don't say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
