May is National Building Safety Month. An initiative of the International Code Council Foundation, Building Safety Month was first observed in 1980 in response to a series of tragedies that could have been prevented through the existence and enforcement of safety codes.
This year’s observance includes foci on specific weekly themes: Energy and Green Building, Disaster Safety and Mitigation, Fire Safety and Awareness, and Backyard Safety.
