Building Safety Month

Welcome to Building Safety Month 2023!

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

As part of our "Building Safety is Personal" theme, this week we're highlighting "Building Safety Starts At Home" and how building safety impacts our everyday life as family members, friends, and individuals at home.

Join us on Wednesday, May 3, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm, Board Room Chambers, James J. McCoart Building, 1 County Complex, Ct, Prince William, VA, 22192. Here we'll dive into everything from fire safety tips and home maintenance best practices, to how to permit your next home project.

What are some ways building safety impacts you at home? Keep visiting this page as we provide answers to Frequently-Asked-Questions through May!
