MANAGEMENT
Bob D. Heinrich – CEO/Partner
 Bob Heinrich has over two decades experience
in the construction safety industry. After working in construction
and design with architectural and engineering firms and the
Los Angeles County Engineer, Building and Safety Division,
he began working with the International Conference of Building
Officials (ICBO). Among his many accomplishments, Heinrich
was a primary figure in consolidating the competing construction
codes and standards organizations in the U.S. into the International
Code Council (ICC). He was selected by the ICC board of directors
to be the first CEO of the consolidated ICC and held that role
until 2003.
Heinrich, a burn survivor himself, culls from his many years
in construction safety to promote No Burn of California--what he
considers the most exciting advance in fire safety technology to
ever exist. He is striving to make No-BurnŽ retardants accepted
in America’s building code as well as a household name. Today,
Heinrich’s work in construction safety continues extends beyond
his management role for No Burn of California. In addition to
joining the board of directors of non-profit foundations with
public safety missions, Heinrich has been active with a local
foundation that helps the victims of fire. |
