Code amendments occur for a variety of reasons, including Coroner's recommendations, public policy directions, and stakeholder proposals. The Branch provides technical and secretariat support to the Building Code Commission (BCC) and the Building Material Evaluation Commission (BMEC). The BCC resolves disputes on the technical requirements of the OBC. The BMEC evaluates innovative materials, systems and designs for construction use in Ontario. Commission members are appointed on the basis of their technical expertise in relevant fields, such as construction, building science, fire safety and sewage systems. We deliver training courses on the OBC, and work with partners, such as trade associations and colleges, to deliver courses to members. There are currently twenty-four courses covering technical and administrative aspects of the OBC, such as Building Envelope, Fire Protection, and Plumbing. As well, the Ministry currently licenses 3,000 on-site septic installers and 500 inspectors, and all are required to pass examinations about on-site septic system provisions of the OBC. The Branch has a team of Building Code Advisors that answer questions from building officials, designers, and contractors on the technical and process aspects of the Code. The advisors also provide technical support to the BCC and BMEC, as well as to industry and enforcement associations. The government receives policy and legislative support from the Branch's team of policy advisors. They brief the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on building regulation and related issues, and suggest appropriate policy directions based on research and stakeholder input.
