Attending a code class is as easy as dialing a phone when
you take an International Code Council Telephone Seminar.
Code professionals and members of the construction industry
can save time and travel expenses by learning via telephone.
International Code Council Telephone Seminars are especially
helpful for building departments with tight budgets. Multiple
students can gather in one conference room and participate
in the seminar together. The number of people who can attend
via telephone is limitless.
The first seminar, Risk Management: Keeping Our Communities
Safe, explores how to reduce the impact of natural and
man-made disasters through hazard mitigation and emergency
management planning. Discussion will address how to prepare
an emergency response plan for your community. Taught by
David Price, Director of Homeland Safety/Risk Management
for the City of Xenia, Ohio, the seminar, scheduled for
Aug. 18, is geared toward code enforcement department administrators,
building department managers, city managers, government
officials and anyone interested in risk management. Risk
management experience is not required.
The second seminar, Making a Difference: Be a part of
the ICC Code Development Process, is for anyone interested
in increasing their knowledge of the I-Code development
process. Discussion will cover the I-Code development process
as well as how to submit a public comment and take an active
role in code development hearings. Taught by Dave Bowman,
International Code Council Manager of Standards, the seminar,
slated for Nov. 3, is helpful for those who are using the
I-Codes for the first time and want to get involved in the
2006 I-Code development cycle.

The International Code Council, a membership association
dedicated to building safety and fire prevention, develops
the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings,
including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties
and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes
developed by the International Code Council.
