Show (iJiX!IK33Ifl3IGIil3 ud Layton: Building Safety Week By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON Last Thursday evening, the Council Layton City proclaimed the week of April 4 as National Building Safety Week and adopted the slogan, Building Safety is No Accident. 18-2- A BUILDING safety week w as suggested by the Council of American Building Officials to acquaint citizens of Layton and all other citizens in the U.S. with our system of building codes and inspections and to make known the opportunities there are for careers in the building inspection field. Ladd Scoffield, head of the Layton City Inspection Department, says people resent and resist building inspectors because they don't understand the purpose behind the building code requirements. If we could educate the people to know that the codes are a protection for them then our job would be easier and people would have few er problems within their homes, Mr. Scoffield said. ANOTHER reason to have one week set aside to talk about building safety is to make people aware that there are uniform building codes which most cities in the Western United States adopt annually. The codes are prepared by the Building officials and Code Administrators International, the International Conference of Building Officials and the Southern Building Code Congress International. All private, public and commercial buildings must meet certain code requirements. When you purchase a building permit, you receive the services of the building inspector. This individual will check to see if the work is safely and properly done. If corrections need to be made, the inspector can suggest what needs to be changed or improved. Sometimes an individual gets to a point in a building project where he doesnt know what to do next or how to do it. A building inspector can help solve problems also. IF A PERSON chooses not to take out a building permit, he faces legal and financial liabilities. There are problems when you sell a home if building permits have not been properly secured. Often insurance companies will not pay claims because the work has not been properly inspected and permits have not been issued. Many home owners do not know when a building permit is required. Mr. Scoffield says there are structural and permits that are issued. If a person has questions about securing a permit, just contact the building and inspection department in the city hall. PERMITS fall into four categories -- - the building code stating structural requirements such as sizes of rafters and joists; the mechanical code which deals with heating, cooling, and ventilation; the plumbing code that governs all pipes carrying water into a house and waste pipes carrying it out to the sewer or septic tank; the electrical code. Because there are many questions that the average homeowner and person has about building and remodeling, the Council of American Building Officials have prepared a reasonably priced booklet called You Can Build It. This is available at the Layton City ment Academy announced that Henrique Sisneros has been named a 1983 United States National Award winner in speech and drama. THIS AWARD is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes less than 0 percent of all American high school students. Henrique Sisneros, who attends St. Josephs High 1 y offices in the Building Department. TOPICS COVERED in this booklet include a guide to step by step building processes, de- coding the codes, putting your plans on paper, determining the cost, deciding how to get the money for your project, getting a permit, hiring extra help and scheduling your time so you will complete the job. Several check lists are very helpful. The booklet has a glossary of building terms and a bibliography of good building reference books and pamphlets. Mr. Scoffield says few young people are aware of the many job opportunities that are available in the building inspection field. All cities, counties and government installations hire building inspectors. Some are general ine men in Layton. spectors like the two Other inspectors go in for speciality work like concrete testing, electrical or plumbing specialists, Mr. Scoffield states. IT IS POSSIBLE to get a building inspection course completion certificate from the Utah Trade Technical College in Salt Lake. The job is interesting. There are many growth possibilities in this field because the regulation of construction is one of the most critical and important functions of municipal government. Local building departments provide a wide range of services beyond the usual plan review and building inspection process. These range from the administration of planning or zoning laws to housing maintenance inspections, abatement and other related duties. The public is invited to visit tjie Layton City building department and become acquainted with the city officials in this department and the services they give to the community.
