Learn how building safety affects us all and
how you can help your community
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- May is Building Safety Month. This year marks the
International Code Council's 44th annual campaign to raise
awareness about the importance of building codes and the role that
building safety professionals play in keeping our communities safe.
Building Safety Month includes five weekly themes, each addressing
how building safety impacts us on a personal, local and global
level.
This year's theme, "Mission Possible," encourages people to get
involved in all aspects of building safety.
Week One: Understanding the Mission, includes an
introduction to building safety and how it affects us all.
"Building Safety Month provides an opportunity to educate
yourself on the importance of building safety," said Stuart Tom, CBO, President of the Code Council
Board of Directors. "This week we're highlighting the
responsibility everyone has to keep the places we live in safe.
From installing smoke alarms and securing handrails to creating an
emergency safety plan, there are easy things people can do every
day to maintain a safe home."
