Polydeck receives workplace safety award

Polydeck was named a South Carolina Chamber of Commerce 2020 Safety Award Winner. The Company was named as a recipient of the award during the Chamber’s annual Safety Awards ceremony, held virtually in March.

The South Carolina Chamber 2020 Safety Award is designed to recognize companies who exemplify workplace safety and safety culture. The SC Chamber believes in this award as a way to highlight and honour companies who prioritize workplace and safety culture, and contribute to making the state a desirable place to live, work, and do business. The screening company is among 147 companies across the state who were named Safety Award recipients at the virtual award ceremony.

“It is quite an honour to have our culture and focus on safety recognized by the SC Chamber,” said Safety Manager Robbie Miller. “However, it’s simply a way of life for us. We recognize that safety begins and ends with each of us. It’s up to everyone at Polydeck, and it shows that everyone agrees when you witness the culture of workplace safety that is evident here on a daily basis.

“Every employee is empowered and encouraged to initiate conversations and actions to maintain and improve our safety culture. This award is a testament to every employee and their dedication to accomplishing our goals together,” stated Miller.
