WASHINGTON, D.C. — The International Code Council is celebrating the 45^th anniversary of its Building Safety Month.

The mission is to increase awareness around the importance of building codes and highlight the crucial role building safety professionals play protecting lives.

According to a release, Building Safety Month includes five weekly themes, each addressing how building safety impacts us on a personal, local and global level.

“It’s remarkable how much the world has changed since this campaign began back in 1980,” said code council board president David Spencer in a statement. “Forty-five 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.”

This year’s theme, “Game on” is meant to motivate people to get in the game and take part in learning about and practicing building safety.
