This May, the International Code Council (ICC) celebrates the 41st anniversary of Building Safety Month. The month-long event celebrates and promotes advances in the construction of safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient buildings.
According to the ICC, “Safety in the built environment is an essential component of maintaining public health.” Today, more than ever, there is a need for the adoption of modern, regularly-updated building codes. And, building codes are society’s best way of protecting homes, offices, schools, manufacturing facilities, stores and entertainment venues from disasters such as fire, weather-related events, and structural collapse. Our code officials work diligently to keep the public safe, every day.
Building Safety Month also helps individuals, families and businesses understand exactly what is needed in order to create safe and sustainable structures. The month-long event is broken into four weeks, each with a specific focus. These include:
- Week One, Energy and Innovation
- Week Two, Training the Next Generation
- Week Three, Water Safety
- Week Four, Disaster Preparedness
