Building Component Safety Information Book (BCSI), 2025

Building Component Safety Information Guide to Good Practice for Handling, Installing, Restraining & Bracing of Metal Plate Connected Wood Trusses, 2025

The new BCSI-2025 guide will provide the users, including component manufacturers, designers, framers, and building officials with an easy to understand, and use, guide that provides background information as well as prescriptive recommendations for the safe installation and bracing of floor and roof trusses. The new version of the flagship documents represents a complete revision to the document. Most notably, the historic B-series arrangement of the document has been transformed into a document with a chapter layout including section numbering to streamline content in a chronological order and reduce content redundancy. Additionally, content is presented in a single column text format with updated graphs. The technical content and prescriptive recommendations in the guide were enhanced, clarified, and improved as well. 

Produced by SBCA, BCSI is the truss industry's guide for jobsite safety and truss performance. This 8.5" x 11" edition (3-hole punched and spiral bound) includes the most current information regarding the handling, installation, restraining and bracing of metal plate connected wood trusses.
