Building Safety Month Begins Today



The annual observance of Building Safety Month begins today, May 1. 

Governor Sandoval has issued the proclamation seen to the right.

Building Safety Month is a public awareness campaign to help individuals, families and businesses understand what it takes to create safe and sustainable structures. The campaign reinforces the need for adoption of modern, model building codes, a strong and efficient system of code enforcement and a well-trained, professional workforce to maintain the system.
