2024 IBC Accessible Means of Egress (Online Live)

The way someone enters and moves into a building is not always the same way they move to evacuate a building in an emergency. In addition to accessible entry, persons with disabilities must be considered when designing plans and building systems used for emergency evacuation. The accessible means of egress provisions from the International Building Code (IBC) are referenced 2010 ADA Accessibility Standard and will be required for all new construction. This program will introduce you to the concepts, details and application of exiting provisions, and assist in understanding how the codes and federal regulations are now working to harmonize the national response to designing a building not only for ingress, but for egress as well. Discussions will include operational safety plans, fire drills, notification/communication for occupants in a building during the emergency and physical building requirements.
