Featuring time-tested safety concepts and the very latest industry standards in material design, the 2012 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE offers up-to-date, comprehensive insight into the regulations surrounding the design and installation of building systems. It provides valuable structural, fire-, and life- safety provisions that cover means of egress, interior finish requirements, roofs, seismic engineering, innovative construction technology, and occupancy classifications for all types of buildings except those which are detached one and two family homes and townhouses not more than 3 stories high. The content in this code book is developed in the context of the broad-based principles that facilitate the use of new materials and building designs, making this an essential reference guide for anyone seeking a strong working knowledge of building systems.

Nonstructural
• All definitions are included in Chapter 2.
• Classifications for a variety of health-care related facilities have been clarified.
• Covered- and open-mall provisions revised to fully address the construction of open malls.
• Occupancies not specifically scoped under the unlimited area building provisions are now permitted where in compliance as accessory occupancies.
• Clarified provisions for incidental-use rooms and spaces.
• Modified provisions addressing exterior wall projections.
• Reformatted requirements for protection of vertical openings through floors.
• Automatic sprinkler systems required where furniture and mattresses are manufactured or stored.
• Increased capacity for stairways and other egress components in buildings with sprinklers and an emergency communication system.
• Clarification of when unenclosed stairways can be used as a part of the means of egress system, including how travel distance is measured.
• In three- and four-exit buildings, some exits are now permitted to serve a portion of a story rather than an entire story.
• Means of egress provisions unique to special occupancies are now in Chapter 4.
Structural
• Wind design requirements extensively revised.
• Wind load maps are now based on ultimate design wind speeds.
• New terminology for wind speeds.
• Updated seismic ground motion maps.
• The term “occupancy category” changed to “risk category.”
• Special inspection requirements for structural steel and masonry construction are now based on referenced standards.
• Penetration firestop and fire-resistant joint systems in high-rise buildings and in Risk Category III or IV structures require special inspection.
• Modifications to the seismic provisions of ACI 318 Appendix D.

Throughout the United States and around the world, NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) sets the foundation for electrical safety in residential, commercial, and industrial occupancies. The 2017 edition of this trusted Code presents the latest comprehensive regulations for electrical wiring, overcurrent protection, grounding, and installation of equipment. Major additions reflect the continuing growth in renewable power technology. Other NEC revisions protect the public and workers from deadly hazards. Work with the latest requirements governing public and private buildings, homes, and structures; outdoor yards and lots; utility equipment; installations that connect to the power grid; and consumer-owned power generation systems and equipment. The 2017 NEC is better aligned with the safe work practices in NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. (Softbound, 888 pp., 2017)

Keep the workplace safe from electrical hazards using the 2018 edition of NFPA 70E®.

In a fraction of a second, an electrical incident can claim lives and cause permanently disabling injuries. In fact, hundreds of deaths and thousands of burn injuries occur each year due to shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast -- and most could be prevented through compliance with NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®.

Originally developed at OSHA's request, NFPA 70E responds to the latest information about the effects of arc flash, arc blast, and direct current (dc) hazards, and recent developments in electrical design and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It provides vital information that helps you comply with OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K.

Make sure everyone goes home at night. New NFPA 70E explicitly states that the first priority must be the elimination of the hazard.

The Standard continues to evolve to address risk assessment and introduces human factors, such as human error, as part of that assessment. Annex Q, Human Performance and Workplace Electrical Safety, is included to provide guidance. NFPA 70E emphasizes the need to use the hierarchy of risk controls, by moving it from an informational note into the text of the Standard. NFPA 70E now explicitly states that the first priority must be the elimination of the hazard.

Other changes in this edition:

• A modified arc flash hazard identification table [Table 130.7(C)(15)(A)(a)] makes it easier to determine the likelihood that an arc flash could occur.
• Reorganized Article 120 presents the requirements for establishing an electrically safe work condition in a logical order of application of the program.
• Changes to Article 320 introduce voltage thresholds of 100 Vdc specifically for batteries and battery rooms to cover the unique situations in these locations.
• Extensively revised, Article 330 on lasers now focuses on safety-related maintenance issues rather than issues associated with laser use.
• Article 350 introduces an Electrical Safety Authority as a possible authority having jurisdiction for laboratories.

Bring your company's electrical safety program up-to-date and give employees critical knowledge.

If you're responsible for ensuring workers are protected from shock and arc flash hazards, use the 2018 edition of NFPA 70E along with NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code® (NEC®) and NFPA 70B, Electrical Equipment Maintenance. Together, the "Big Three" help you protect your personnel and your company from tragic loss. NFPA 70E is a vital tool for contractors, risk managers, engineers, building managers, owners, and everyone concerned with ending electrical-related accidents, liability, and loss.
