The City of Bismarck and Burleigh County join communities across the nation recognizing Building Safety Month.

Throughout the month of May the City of Bismarck and Burleigh County will highlight and expand awareness of four areas of construction: Energy and Green Building; Disaster Safety and Mitigation; Fire Safety and Awareness; and Backyard Safety.

Ensuring buildings are safe requires the active participation of building inspectors, contractors, architects, engineers, and others in the construction industry, as well as property owners. “When building safety and fire prevention experts inspect buildings during and after construction, we help to ensure that the places where you live, learn, work, and play are safe”, said Ray Ziegler, City of Bismarck Building Official.

Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council, a membership organization dedicated to building safety and fire prevention, of which Bismarck is an active member.
