ICC Pulse Podcast: Building Safety as Told by Kids

The ICC Pulse Podcast offers listeners the inside scoop on the International Code Council and the building safety industry. 

To celebrate Building Safety Month, the ICC Pulse Podcast episode, Building Safety as Told by Kids, features children of Code Council staff exploring building safety in their homes.  

Podcast host Elizabeth McDonald gave five Code Council families an assignment to go through their homes with a checklist to take inventory of what building safety initiatives are achieved within their homes. She chatted with the kids afterward to see what they learned.
