What is Building Safety?

Elements of building safety can be found all around us. On an individual level, building safety can include installing smoke alarms in your house or giving portable heaters at least three feet of space. On a community level, building safety can include adopting modern building codes or enacting sustainability initiatives.

Remember, hitting a building safety homerun is only possible when we all do our part!

All communities need building codes to protect their citizens from hazards like fires, weather-related events and structural collapse. Building codes are society's best way of protecting homes, offices, schools, manufacturing facilities, stores and entertainment venues. Building safety professionals work day in and day out to keep the public safe.
