May is being observed as 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 theme is “Building Safety Month: Code Officials Keep You Safe.” The observance includes foci on specific weekly themes: Fire Safety and Awareness, Disaster Safety and Mitigation, Backyard and Pool Safety, and Energy and Green Building.
