Description
BUILDING SAFETY MONTH MAY 2024-WEEK 1
The City of Coos Bay is participating in the annual Building Safety Month, a worldwide campaign presented by the International Code Council, its members, and partners to promote building safety. This year’s campaign, “Mission Possible” raises awareness about the importance of building codes in ensuring safety in the spaces in which we live, work, and learn.
This year’s campaign themes include:
Week One (May 1-5), Understanding the Mission
Week Two (May 6-12), Preparing a Building Safety Plan
Week Three (May 13-19), Learning from the Pros
Week Four (May 20-29), Engaging Your Community
Week Five (May 27-31), Celebrating Success in Building Safety
Evidence of “building safety” is all around us. From an individual level, building safety can include installing smoke alarms in your home or giving portable heaters at least three feet of space. From a community level, building safety can include adopting modern building codes or enacting sustainability initiatives.
Remember, building safety is a comprehensive mission that is only possible when we work together for positive change.
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, including code officials, work day in and day out to keep the public safe.
