SBCA Unveils the New BCSI-2025 Guide
The Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) is thrilled to announce the launch of the updated Building Component Safety Information (BCSI) Guide, known as BCSI-2025. This comprehensive guide serves as an invaluable resource, delivering a wealth of jobsite safety information, background knowledge, and practical recommendations for the effective installation and bracing of floor and roof trusses.
Transformative Changes in BCSI-2025
Significant revisions have been made to ensure that BCSI-2025 meets the needs of today's building professionals. The format has been completely overhauled to enhance readability and organization. One major improvement is the transition from the historical B-series format to a more intuitive chapter layout. This approach not only organizes content chronologically but also minimizes redundancy, making it easier for users to find the information they need quickly.
Key Features of the Updated Guide
The BCSI-2025 is designed as a physically user-friendly book featuring a spiral binding and 3-hole punched pages, designed for easy handling and referencing on job sites. It includes the latest guidance on handling, installation, restraining, and bracing of metal plate connected wood trusses, empowering users to implement the safest practices during projects.
Availability and Access to BCSI Resources
For those looking to dive deeper into the BCSI materials or access the electronic version, SBCA provides various options. Users can subscribe to receive digital updates or order a hard copy edition of BCSI-2025 to keep handy on-site. The digital format allows for ease of access, ensuring that safety information is always just a click away.

In addition to the BCSI-2025 guide, SBCA is preparing to release updated B-Summary Sheets, which will complement the new edition.
