Introducing Building Safety Month
May is Building Safety Month—because the buildings we live and work in should do more than just stand tall. They should keep us safe. Led by the International Code Council, Building Safety Month is a national campaign that raises awareness around the importance of modern building codes and safety practices.
Here at Kings III, emergency communication is our specialty—and we’re proud to support this mission by sharing resources and tips throughout the month.
Stay tuned for weekly video tips throughout the month.
Building safety is powered by the people behind it.
For Building Safety Month, led by the International Code Council, this week’s theme, “Voices of the Built Environment,” recognizes the people who help keep buildings, residents, and communities safe every day.
One of those voices is Tim, an Emergency Dispatch Operator whose role becomes especially critical during emergency situations. By keeping communication clear, calm, and responsive, Tim helps callers stay connected and supported when it matters most.
That same commitment to safety and support extends beyond emergency response. We’re also featuring Dylan from our Customer Service team, who shares how communication, reliable support, and creating a safe environment all work together to make a meaningful difference for the people we serve.
We’ve created a practical, easy-to-follow resource to help you get started:

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT BUILDING SAFETY THROUGH YOUR ROLE?
I’ve learned that a safe environment is essential for both productivity and confidence. When people feel safe, they’re able to focus on what matters most without distraction. Whether it’s residents, employees, guests, or property staff, having dependable emergency communication systems in place helps create reassurance for everyone involved.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT BUILDING SAFETY THROUGH YOUR ROLE?
The thing I’ve learned about building safety through my role is that Testers and Inspectors play a huge role in keeping people safe. Fire prevention, structural integrity inspections, HVAC upkeep, and being ADA compliant help keep people safe and make sure the location is accessible to everyone.

Emergency Dispatch Center Nesting CoachWHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF YOUR ROLE?
My favorite part of being an emergency dispatcher is being able to assist callers every day and hearing the relief in their voices when elevator doors open or help arrives. In my role as a Nesting Coach, I also enjoy providing real-time feedback and helping new operators grow. Watching them build confidence and achieve their first 100s is incredibly rewarding.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT BUILDING SAFETY THROUGH YOUR ROLE?
As an emergency dispatch center that handles a wide variety of calls, we regularly work with inspectors testing phones to verify functionality and code compliance. One of the most interesting things I’ve learned since joining Kings III is how specific some requirements can be, like pool phones in North Carolina needing posted phone numbers nearby, along with the constantly evolving elevator video communication codes that continue to shape the industry.
Engineering Your Emergency Action Plan
Preparedness starts with a plan. During emergencies, clear communication and quick action can make all the difference in protecting people and properties.
As part of Building Safety Month and this year’s theme, “Prepared To Protect,” it’s important to ensure your property has a strong Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place so staff, residents, and visitors know how to respond when every second counts.
From severe weather to unexpected power outages, preparation helps teams stay resilient and ready for the unexpected. At Kings III, we know preparedness isn’t just about reacting to emergencies — it’s about building confidence before they happen.

I enjoy connecting with professionals in the hospitality industry and helping hotels implement solutions that improve guest safety while also reducing operational risk and liability. It’s rewarding to educate customers on the value of reliable emergency communication and how it supports both guests and staff.

Don’t Let an Aging Landline Put Your Property at Risk
Welcome to Week 4 of Building Safety Month, led by the International Code Council.
Building Safety Month Week 4 focuses on Communities Without Limits and the importance of creating safer, more accessible buildings for everyone.
As traditional landlines continue to be phased out, many properties are rethinking how their emergency communication systems stay reliable, compliant, and future-ready. Aging analog infrastructure is becoming harder to maintain and less dependable for life safety communication.
Our Cellular Guide helps properties navigate the transition away from landlines with solutions designed for long-term reliability and preparedness.
Because Protection Doesn’t Clock Out.
Welcome to the final week of Building Safety Month, led by the International Code Council, and this week we are showcasing the theme of “Going Into Overtime.”
At Kings III, we know safety doesn’t clock out. As we look toward the future, we’re advancing the next era of emergency communication with smart, code-compliant solutions like our CabView elevator video monitoring system, designed to meet new mandates and enhance accessibility for all passengers.
Because when the stakes are high, staying ahead of the curve isn’t optional, it’s essential.
