Cinnaminson, New Jersey, April 27, 2023 The 43^rd annual Building Safety Month takes place this May. It Starts with You is the theme for this year’s international campaign with initiatives to raise awareness about what it takes to create safe and sustainable buildings and homes on a personal, local and global level. The weekly campaigns for Building Safety Month this year include: Week One – Building Safety Starts at Home Week Two – Building Safety Professionals and You Week Three – Prepare Your Community Week Four – Advocate for Your Community Week Five – Solving Challenges Together “A key component of building safety is protecting all building occupants from potential exposure risks,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “These include everything from viruses, bacteria and mold, to lead, asbestos, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and radon. Other indoor environmental quality issues that can impact safety and comfort include air exchange rates, air filtration, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection programs. These and other possible exposure concerns can all have an impact on people’s well-being, comfort and productivity.” Dedicated to creating safe indoor spaces in all types of structures are the building science and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) experts at EMSL Analytical.
