Huntington Beach, California, April 23, 2026

This May marks the 46^th annual Building Safety Month, observed throughout California and around the world. The 2026 theme, “Built to Last,” highlights the importance of resilient construction, proactive maintenance, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to protect people and property. Organizations, companies, and municipalities across California will participate in activities and outreach efforts designed to raise awareness about building safety.

 

Building Safety Month initiatives provide property owners, landlords, facility managers, government officials, and the public with practical information and resources to help create and maintain safer indoor environments. This year’s weekly campaign themes include:

• Week One: Safe Homes, Strong Communities
• Week Two: Voices of the Built Environment
• Week Three: Prepared to Protect
• Week Four: Communities Without Limits

 

“Building safety depends on expertise from many disciplines, including indoor environmental quality,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager of LA Testing’s Huntington Beach facility. “California faces a range of natural hazards, such as wildfires, earthquakes, and flooding, that can significantly impact building conditions and indoor environments. Our building science experts are proud to support the goals of Building Safety Month.”
