WORKSHOP GROUP A & B<br />
Building Codes: Making Buildings Safer for<br />
Fire Fighters and Residents<br />
The fire station is our staging area; our work environment is actually the structures to which we<br />
respond. Learn how this work environment is created and maintained through building and fire<br />
codes. We will discuss how to create a safer work environment through building construction<br />
and the codes. Identify how the revised 2012 codes will impact our work environment and use<br />
this opportunity to indicate areas of concern for future efforts. This includes <strong>IAFF</strong> efforts on<br />
light-weight trusses, protection of lightweight construction, elevator egress, sprinklers, smoke<br />
alarms, and green building issues including photovoltaic systems, polyurethane foam and roof<br />
access issues.<br />
