Ensuring the safety of the places where we live, work and play is a team effort
Washington, D.C., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Washington, D.C. – The International Code Council’s Building Safety Month begins this month, marking the annual campaign’s 45th anniversary. The mission of Building Safety Month is to increase awareness around the importance of building codes and highlight the crucial role that building safety professionals play protecting billions of lives around the world.
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, “Game on!” motivates people to get in the game and take part in learning about and practicing building safety.
Week One: The Warm Up, covers the basics of building safety, including what building safety looks like on an individual and community level, the importance of building codes and the role of building safety professionals.
“It’s remarkable how much the world has changed since this campaign began back in 1980,” said Code Council Board President David Spencer, CBO. “45 years later, the mission of Building Safety Month, the work of building safety professionals and the critical role that building codes play in protecting public safety are more important than ever.”
