Building codes and safety regulations are a set of standards and guidelines established by local governments or regulatory bodies to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals in buildings and structures. These codes outline specific requirements for various aspects of construction, including design, materials, structural integrity, fire safety, electrical and plumbing systems, accessibility, and energy efficiency. The primary goal of building codes and safety regulations is to protect occupants from potential hazards and to maintain the overall integrity and quality of buildings to prevent accidents, injuries, or damage. Compliance with these codes is typically mandatory and enforced through inspections and penalties for violations.
