Did you know that it is building safety month? Building Safety Month is an international campaign celebrated in May to raise awareness about building safety. For more than 42 years, Building Safety Month has reinforced the need for the adoption of modern, regularly-updated building codes, and helps individuals, families and businesses understand what it takes to create safe and sustainable structures.
The 2023 Building Safety Month theme is “It Starts with YOU!”, and each week focuses on a specific topic:
Week 1 (May 1–7): Building Safety Starts at Home
Week 2 (May 8–14): Building Safety Professionals and You
Week 3 (May 15–21): Prepare Your Community
Week 4 (May 22–28): Advocate for Your Community
Week 5 (May 29–31): Solving Challenges Together
