Course Description:

The presentation focuses on the application of code requirements in the International Fire Code (IFC) and International Building Code (IBC) pertaining to hazardous material storage and use. The presentation will include the chemical classification process to ensure appropriate requirements are enforced. The IFC and IBC hazard classifications will be compared to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) classifications. The IFC and IBC Maximum Allowable Quantities (MAQ) will also be discussed along with requirements when the MAQ is exceeded.

Learning Objectives:

1. Break down the code requirements enforced in the IBC versus the IFC.
2. Differentiate between IBC/IFC hazard classifications and GHS/DOT.
3. Develop a systematic approach to the hazard classification process.
4. Determine code impacts as a result of quantities being stored or used.
5. Identify Group H occupancy classification requirements and explain conditions that exempt a building from Group H requirements.

This month’s topic is: The Power of Perspective: The Root of Where Organizational Culture Alignment Happens

In this thought-provoking discussion, Brian Owens, VP of Safety & Team Development for Buesing Corporation, will explore the undeniable connection between employees’ humanity and their contributions to the workplace culture. Using a simple yet powerful culture alignment approach, Brian will reveal that the path towards improved safety performance is not achieved through attempts to control employee behavior, but by effectively changing behavioral patterns using the power of perspective.
