BACKGROUND:
Week 2 of Building Safety Month highlights the important roles that building safety professionals play in keeping our homes and businesses safe. Building safety professionals include building inspectors of all kinds, building officials, plans examiners, permit technicians and fire marshals. These professionals are constantly training, keeping up with all the latest codes and standards. Their knowledge spans every aspect of the life of a building, from the bottom of the foundation to the top of the roof and everything in between.
Building safety professionals provide guidance and advice to architects, engineers and contractors to help them bring building projects to life while ensuring safety for occupants and residents. They also help keep existing buildings safe by conducting inspections and adopting the latest building codes. They are community-oriented and dedicated to making Cocoa a safer place.
