Personnel Qualifications

Building codes require personnel to be certified. These requirements need to be enforced, especially for concrete, the only building material that does not arrive at the jobsite in its final form. PERSONNEL CERTIFICATIONS ARE MANDATORY! Requirements are often buried in referenced standards, so ACI offers access to this document for building officials.
