The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 45th annual International Code Council (ICC) Building Safety Month. Celebrated every May, this international campaign raises awareness about building safety. The sponsorship includes Week 5 (May 25 —31) of the campaign with the theme Going into Overtime, covering what’s next for the building safety industry, including global trends, artificial intelligence, emissions reduction, and more. As a global society of 35,000 members dedicated to the development, dissemination, and adoption of consensus-based standards, technical resources, and educational programs, ACI supports Building Safety Month to highlight the important role of building codes in creating safe and sustainable communities. Building Safety Month is also aligned with ACI’s Strategic Plan goals over the coming years, which includes advancing expertise, disseminating knowledge, engaging globally, advancing resiliency and sustainability, and enhancing the ACI experience. Being properly informed about the design and construction of concrete is crucial to ensure the necessary criteria are satisfied to safeguard the public. “ACI offers a variety of resources for building officials, including select free publications, a new personnel qualifications document, and access to the four-part Concrete International magazine building safety article series addressing the assessment of existing concrete buildings,” said Steve Szoke, ACI Code Advocacy Engineer. “Furthermore, ACI certification programs qualify personnel for testing and inspecting structural concrete to help ensure proper performance and safety.” Code officials are encouraged to visit the ACI website for free access to ACI referenced standards and ICC approved continuing education programs. In addition to the special services free to code officials, the Institute strives to provide competency and build confidence for all concrete projects with 30+ certification programs, hundreds of online learning courses, education publications, and certificate programs.
