Building Safety Month
Resources for the BSM 2024
We rarely question our safety when we are in the buildings we live, work shop or play. This is because of the high standard in which buildings in Ontario are constructed.
In Ontario, the minimum standard for new construction, additions and alteration to existing buildings is set out in the Ontario Building Code. The Building Department of your municipality enforces the Building Code by examining building plans and specifications, issuing permits and performing inspections through the various stages of construction.
