Abstract

This is, in part, a preview of the program for the International Conference on Building Use and Safety Technology to be held November 7-9, 1984 in Washington, D.C. Background information is also provided on current developments in the major U.S. model codes and safety standards organizations where there are discussions on applications of research, with a human factors orientation, especially in relation to circulation safety and egress concepts. Relative to what was the case only a few years ago such discussions are now fairly intensive. They are leading to revisions which can be regarded as revolutionary. New research agendas, opportunities and sponsoring arrangements are being considered in the same contexts.
