Course Description: The IFC and IBC Hazardous Materials Provisions seminar addresses requirements for buildings utilizing hazardous materials, requiring coordination between the fire, and building codes. It reviews the requirements found in the International Fire Code, as well as the International Building Code. The goal of this seminar is for participants to examine the application of code requirements in the IFC and the IBC to determine compliance for the storage use, handling and dispensing of hazardous materials. The class utilizes the 2018 editions of the IFC and IBC, while also identifying select updates within the 2021 editions of each.

Course Objectives:

• Locate and describe applicable hazardous materials in the 2018 IFC and 2018 IBC.
• Classify materials as to their appropriate hazard and determine allowable exempt amounts for each material.
• Explain conditions which exempt a structure from Group H occupancy classifications.
• Define control areas and identify when control areas can be applied as an alternative to Group H classification.
• Define the Group M display and Group S storage option for certain hazardous materials as an alternative to a Group H classification.
• Determine when a building or structure should be classified as Group H occupancy.
• Describe how each Group H classification impacts corresponding height and area limitations, mixed uses and means of egress for a building or structure.
