Every May, building safety professionals from all over the world come together for Building Safety Month.
Building codes and building safety officials help protect area residents and visitors by ensuring the structures where we work, play, and learn are safe from a variety of hazards. Building Safety Month, led by the International Code Council, shines a light on building safety and what it takes to create and maintain safe and sustainable structures.
The theme for Building Safety Month 2025 is “Game On,” reminding us of our shared responsibility to plan, build, and maintain safe structures - and the teams behind that work. This page provides resources for the Austin community about Building Safety and the vital role it plays in our growing city. We encourage you to take part in the weekly themes, or download the informational documents listed below.
