The HMCBA is proud to be a Host Site for select courses offered by the OSHA Training Institute Education Center (OTIEC) at Volunteer State Community College (VSCC).

The goal of OTIEC courses is to reduce workplace fatalities and injuries by teaching the application of OSHA standards in hazard recognition and prevention. OSHA encourages all OTI Education Centers to establish host sites to provide additional training opportunities within their respective OSHA Region.
Register for the next course here.
This course covers the OSHA Excavation Standard and safety and health aspects of excavation and trenching. Course topics include practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and unshored slopes and walls of excavations, introduction of various types of shoring (wood timbers and hydraulic), soil classification, and use of protective systems. Testing methods are demonstrated and students participate in workshops in the use of instruments such as penetrometers, torvane shears, and engineering rods. Upon course completion students will have the ability to assess their employer’s compliance with the OSHA Excavation Standard, utilize soil testing methods to classify soil types, determine protective systems for excavation operations, and training requirements.

GlobalABC Adaptation Working Group’s Free Webinar
2022-11-04 06:00 - 17:00
Benchmark analysis of resilience evaluation methodologies and case studies of exemplary adaptation actions: the work of the Global ABC Adaptation Working Group
The Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) is an international organization that promotes adaptation and resilience in the built environment. The International Code Council is an active member of GlobalABC and serves as a co-chair of the Adaptation Working Group, which focuses specifically on the resilience of the building sector to climate change on a global scale.
Ahead of the COP27, the Adaptation Working Group has produced two major pieces of work: (i) a panorama of resilience assessment methodologies for the buildings and construction sector, and (ii) a collection of exemplary case studies of innovative and reproducible adaptation actions that build upon previous work by this working group.
This document seeks to address the questions:

What trends are emerging in terms of risk evaluation globally?
Are all risks equally assessed?
What are the relevant indicators?
How to act quickly and decisively to answer the ever-changing challenges of adaptation to climate change?

The International Code Council invites its members and stakeholders to learn more during the GlobalABC Adaptation Working Group’s free webinar on November 4th at 1pm CET (7am ET).

Deadline for Extended Call for Committee
2022-10-30
The International Code Council invites you to consider two upcoming calls for committee members. The committees will develop two new ANSI/ICC standards that, once published, will be groundbreaking for the industry:
1. The Sizing Water Distribution, Drainage and Venting Standard Consensus Committee (IS-SWDDV) will be responsible for developing ICC 815-202X (Standard for Sizing Water Distribution, Sanitary Drainage and Vent Piping Systems). This new international standard will take a holistic worldwide approach to sizing water distribution, sanitary drainage, and vent piping systems for residential, mixed-use, and institutional occupancies that utilizes a sizing method that has no basis on Hunter’s Method and accounts for post-COVID-19 usage patterns.
2. The Private Sewage Disposal Systems Standard Consensus Committee (IS-PSDS) will be responsible for developing ICC 825-202X (Private Sewage Disposal Systems). This new international standard will provide minimum requirements for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining private sewage disposals systems based on newer technologies and methods, and most importantly, the impacts of climate change.
We hope you will consider lending your expertise to one or both.
If you are interested in participating, please click here and fill out the application(s). The application deadline has been extended to October 30, 2022.

Residential Seismic Assessment and Retrofit Standard Consensus Committee (IS-RSARC)
2022-08-05 14:00 - 17:00
As an ANSI accredited standard developing organization, ICC is undertaking a project coordinated with the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) and FEMA to develop an ICC Standard for the seismic evaluation and retrofit of one and two family dwellings (including townhouses) designated as ICC 1300, Standard for the Vulnerability-Based Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of One- and Two-Family Dwellings.
The development of the standard will be initiated with FEMA P-1100 as an initial draft. This committee will have primary responsibility for the development of minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety, general welfare by providing a methodology for the identification, evaluation and retrofit of specific known vulnerabilities for one- and two-family wood light-frame dwellings up to 2 stories in height located in Seismic Design Categories B through E. This will include the use of the best available seismic numerical modeling tools and engineering practices to assist in development of assessment methods and to identify retrofit criteria to best achieve targeted performance objectives. Use of the provisions is anticipated to improve earthquake performance but is not necessarily intended to prevent earthquake damage. Also included is the evaluation and retrofit of masonry chimneys attached to 3 story buildings.
