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

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
