building safety
Construction hazard prevention
Building safety encompasses the measures, regulations, and practices that protect occupants from harm in constructed structures.
It covers fire prevention, structural integrity, emergency exits, electrical systems, and accessibility requirements.
Building codes establish minimum safety standards that construction must meet.
After disasters or tragedies, building safety often enters public debate: The tower fire renewed calls for stricter building safety inspections.
