Celebrate Building Safety Month This May
Building Safety Month is an international campaign celebrated in May to raise awareness about building safety.
For more than 44 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 2025 Building Safety Month theme is “Game On”, and each week focuses on a specific topic:
- Week 1 (May 1–3): The Warm Up
- Week 2 (May 4–10): Build Your Offense
- Week 3 (May 11–17): Build Your Defense
- Week 4 (May 18–24): The Starting Lineup
- Week 5 (May 25–31): Going into Overtime
Visit the International Code Council for resources and information to help you celebrate this May!
