Safety and Protection Joint Sustainability Initiative

The Joint Sustainability Initiative (JSI) is a multi-association effort of the Concrete Structures Industry supply chain to take unified and integrated action on Sustainable Development

JSI members have signed a joint agreement committing to act on 9 Declarations. Declaration #4 addresses 8 Social Values of Concrete Structures

Declaration #4: “Our integrated thinking will focus on the following Social Values provided by Concrete Structures”: 1. Resource efficiency5. By-product reduction 2. Safety/protection6. Aesthetics 3. Financial responsibility7. Societal connectivity 4. Operational continuity8. Longevity/durability

This presentation discusses Social Value #2: Safety / Protection

Concrete structures provide an unparalleled level of protection from Fire Natural Disasters Man-made Disasters Indoor Environmental Quality Safety / Protection
