HSW is the abbreviation for required health, safety, and welfare requirements as defined and mandated by the AIA (http://info.aia.org/aia/cesfaq_default.cfm) and state licensing boards. It is anything that relates to the structural integrity, soundness of a building, or building site. All NCARB monographs meet HSW requirements.
