In May 2024, the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) will participate in the 44th 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 is “Mission Possible".
Homes and buildings that are built in compliance with building safety codes and the officials who enforce the codes are essential to helping communities become affordable, resilient, and energy and water-efficient.
“Building Safety Month provides homeowners, government officials, and the public with the necessary information and resources to prepare and protect our built environment,” said Chris Brunette, DFPCs Fire and Life Safety Section Chief.
The educational and interactive campaign raises awareness about the importance of building codes in ensuring safety in the spaces in which we live, work, and learn. Each year, the Code Council, its members, and industry professionals from all areas of the design and construction industry highlight building safety through proclamations, informational events, legislative briefings, and more.
This year’s campaign themes are:
Week 1 (May 1-5): Understanding the Mission
Week 2 (May 6-12): Preparing a Building Safety Plan
Week 3 (May 13-19): Learning from the Pros
Week 4 (May 20-26): Engaging Your Community
