At Cordeck, we believe safety isn’t a once-a-year conversation—it’s a 24/7/365 priority. But every May, Building Safety Month and Construction Safety Week give us a chance to put an even brighter spotlight on what safety truly means for our industry and the people who power it.

Cordeck Safety Interior

Why Safety Matters in Our Industry

Whether you’re laying the foundation, erecting steel, or finishing interiors, every phase of construction depends on a safety-first mindset. It’s not just about following protocols or checking boxes—it’s about protecting lives, supporting livelihoods, and delivering projects that stand the test of time.

Structural integrity begins with top-tier materials—but it’s the people handling them—contractors, laborers, engineers—who bring every project to life. These professionals rely on dependable products and precise processes to keep job sites safe, efficient, and on track. In our industry, safety and quality aren’t just connected—they’re one and the same.

Our Safety Commitment

At Cordeck, safety is ingrained in every layer of what we do. Since 1994, we’ve proudly served the U.S. construction market with high-quality corrugated metal decking, steel deck accessories, and in-floor cellular raceway systems. We also offer precision laser cutting services to meet the exacting standards of today’s architects, builders, and fabricators.

We’re proud to operate from eight strategically located facilities nationwide, which allows us to ensure fast, reliable delivery while minimizing the kind of logistical headaches that can lead to rushed jobs and compromised safety on site.

  • Rigorous Quality Control – Every product is manufactured and inspected to meet (and often exceed) industry standards for strength, performance, and reliability.
  • Expert Packaging & Delivery – We prioritize safe, damage-free delivery of your decking materials so you can hit the ground running without delays or hazards.
  • Collaborative Support – Our team works hand-in-hand with yours to ensure specs are clear, loads are balanced, and your materials arrive ready to install—eliminating guesswork that can create risk on site.
  • Injury-Reducing Innovations: We’ve transitioned to plastic banding in many cases to limit the risk of injury from traditional metal banding, helping protect hands and minimize sharp-edge hazards during handling.
  • Ergonomic Lifting Solutions: We implement a range of lifting techniques and specialized devices that allow us to ship materials in the exact orientation needed for use—reducing the need for on-site manipulation, especially in tight or challenging spaces.
  • A Culture of Preparedness: We prioritize the safety of our team members, contractors, drivers, and visitors by providing necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintaining strict shop protocols—ensuring everyone goes home the same way they arrived.

The Bigger Picture: Safer Buildings, Stronger Communities

Ultimately, the safety of a jobsite today shapes the safety of the structures we’ll all depend on tomorrow. Every beam, deck panel, and accessory we produce is part of something bigger: a commitment to durable, resilient buildings that protect the people and communities who use them.

As we mark Building Safety Month and Construction Safety Week, we salute the contractors, engineers, project managers, and safety officers who make jobsite safety a shared responsibility—and we’re proud to stand alongside you.
