<br />Page 2. <br /> <br />The next phase of modernization is connecting our Inspectors to the field via electronic media for <br />recording inspection information. This will download directly into the permitting system and <br />become part of the legal record for the property. <br /> <br />“We are very pro-active in terms of training. Certification is encouraged as are ongoing refresher <br />courses for each of the specialized inspection disciplines,” said Bulot. “No matter how much you <br />think you know, there's always room for learning something new.” <br /> <br />Background Information: <br />The International Code Council (ICC) is a membership association dedicated to building safety <br />and fire prevention. ICC develops the codes and standards used to construct residential and <br />commercial buildings, including homes and schools. <br />The International Codes, or I-Codes, published by ICC, provide minimum safeguards for people <br />at home, at school and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive, <br />coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes. Building codes benefit public safety and <br />support the industry’s need for one set of codes without regional limitations. <br />Fifty states and the District of Columbia have adopted the I-Codes at the state or jurisdictional <br />level. Federal agencies including the Architect of the Capitol, General Services Administration, <br />National Park Service, Department of State, U.S. Forest Service and the Veterans Administration <br />also enforce the I-Codes. The Department of Defense references the International Building Code <br />for constructing military facilities, including those that house U.S. troops, domestically and <br />abroad. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands enforce one or more of the I-Codes. <br />Vision <br />: Protect the health, safety and welfare of people by creating safe buildings and <br />communities. <br />Mission <br />: To provide the highest quality codes, standards, products and services for all concerned <br />with the safety and performance of the built environment <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />-30- <br /> <br /> <br />
