Some buildings have a high level of hazards that may affect people inside and outside the building, as well as fire department personnel and other emergency responders in emergency situations. This interactive online course teaches you about the International Building Code and how it’s used to regulate building occupancy and hazards. You will learn about the code adoption process and how the code is enforced through the review of construction plans and required inspections of the work. You will also learn about the differences between the types of construction and how they are addressed in the design of a building. Lastly, this course will outline the process to determine the size of buildings based on the occupancy classification and type of construction.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Identify who may propose code changes
  • Compare and contrast the various code publications
  • Identify the various indicators that denote changes in the code
  • Determine the document a property owner must obtain to build a new building and when this document is required
  • Name the correct inspections based on the building description
  • Determine the correct occupancy load based on the building description
  • Match the building types to their descriptions
