To solve these problems requires a constant exchange of new <br />ideas and practical experience. Continuing education is an effective way of <br />acquiring the knowledge and experience needed to fulfill the responsibilities <br />associated with building inspection and code enforcement. <br /> <br />New methods and techniques of code enforcement will play an impor- <br />tant role in improving the design and construction of our future buildings. <br />Ultimately, the services rendered by a building inspector affect the general <br />standards of our living and working environments. Therefore, it is vitally <br />important that a building inspector develops the skills needed to effectively <br />see that new construction is carried out in accordance with the approved <br />plans and code requirements. <br /> <br />The 1999 program has been structured to focus on three major areas of <br />the building official's responsibilties: <br /> <br />· Code enforcement <br /> <br />· Field inspection <br /> <br />· Building inspection administration <br /> <br />Special option sessions have been designed to provide participants an <br />opportunity to study in a specialty area of responsibility. <br /> <br />PARTICIPANTS <br />The program is designed for municipal and state building inspectors <br />and administrators; housing inspectors; and field inspectors for architec- <br />tural, engineering and construction firms. Architects and engineers respon- <br />sible for building design will find the sessions educational and beneficial to <br /><their future goals. <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />PROGRAM <br />MONDA Y, FEBRUARY 1 <br />A.M. <br />7:45 <br /> <br />8:15 <br /> <br />Registration <br />The Lowell Center <br />610 Langdon Street <br />Welcome & Introduction <br />Philip M.
