The International Code Council’s (ICC) Building Safety Month campaign continues in its fourth week by highlighting the important work of building safety professionals and the rewarding career paths available to those who want to make a difference in their communities. 

Week Four: The Starting Lineup, outlines the roles of building safety professionals such as inspectors, building officials, plans examiners, permit technicians and fire marshals. Week Four also provides guidance on how to work with local building departments to ensure the safety of homes, businesses, schools and public buildings. 

“Building safety professionals are the silent defenders of public safety,” said Code Council Board President David Spencer, CBO. “It’s a rewarding career that is always in-demand and has an incredible impact on our daily lives.”
