Florida Accessibility Code (Technical Provisions) 6 HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE HOURS |
| LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The new 2012 Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction (FACBC) was created to provide more consistency with the 2010 USDOJ and USDOT Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design. One may elect to use this new Design Standard currently but its use will be mandatory as of March 15, 2012. Seminar 12F116 looks at the technical provisions of the 2012 FACBC in order to illustrate many of the updates to the Standards. The seminar will also look at some of the differences between the updated Federal Standards and the updated FACBC. Seminar 12F116 is designed to be compatible with seminar 12F112 – ADVANCED Florida Accessibility Code (Application and Administration). The core document for seminar 12F1106 will be the 2012 Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction. | |
