Coming Soon, Building Safety Month, May 2026

Building Safety Month is an international campaign celebrated in May to raise awareness about building safety.

For 46 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 2026 Building Safety Month theme is "Built to Last" and weekly subthemes include: 

Week 1: Safe Homes, Strong Communities (May 1–10) focuses on simple actions homeowners can take to improve safety at home

Week 2: Voices of the Built Environment (May 11–17) spotlights building safety professionals and the roles they play in keeping communities safe

Week 3: Prepared to Protect (May 18–24) encourages community preparedness and highlights how disaster-resilient building codes protect people and property

Week 4: Communities Without Limits (May 25–31) showcases the importance of accessibility in building construction and design
