"Translating the codes to Spanish benefits public safety and provides a valuable customer service to the construction industry," says International Code Council chief executive officer Rick Weiland. "Many Hispanic workers speak English fluently. By translating the International Codes into Spanish, the thousands who don't will be better able to use and apply building safety codes."
Forty-seven states use the International Codes at the state or jurisdictional level. The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and federal agencies also enforce one or more of the International Codes. The Department of Defense references the International Building Code for constructing military facilities around the world and at home.
