COALITION FOR CURRENT SAFETY CODES
The Coalition for Current Safety Codes (CCSC) was founded by the International Code Council (ICC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and is aimed at advancing safety by advocating for the adoption and successful implementation of current building, sustainability, electrical and life safety codes.
This coalition was created to increase public awareness and support for the adoption and successful implementation of current codes that protect health and welfare. The Coalition provides information and resources for members to get involved, share information and take action to support the use of current codes across the globe.
Utilizing the latest codes developed by experts from around the world establishes minimum levels of safety to protect people and property. As technology changes, safety advocates constantly assess the risks as well as the behaviors and actions that can create new hazards. The current editions of codes incorporate learnings from recent research, technology advances, case studies, loss experience, and proven best practices.
Your participation on this Coalition is essential to ensure the highest level of safety is provided, and that communities are resilient to natural or manmade events. Doing so will help lead the industrialized world, providing the safest built environment and the most contemporary and effective safety precautions for all citizens. Coalition members from all countries will share in these benefits.
By joining the Coalition, a representative from your organization will be included in monthly meetings that provide updates on activities across the country, campaigns to take action, and resources to use. Additionally, the Coalition also strives to hold an in-person meeting each year to strengthen collaboration.
We invite all those interested in promoting the use of current codes within the codes and standards community, public safety advocates, SDOs, construction, insurance, government and the private industry, and others to work together with us to ensure the safest built environment and the most contemporary and effective safety precautions are provided for our citizens.
