NADRA produces Check Your Deck® video campaign to educate consumers about Deck Safety Month® NADRA Share     In 2006 NADRA, The North American Deck and Railing Association declared May as Deck Safety Month®. NADRA's Deck safety program is an effort to save lives and prevent injuries. After six years of promoting May as Deck Safety Month®, the association decided on a new method of reaching the masses this year. The new video was produced using images and text to drive a strong message to consumers about NADRA's Check Your Deck® evaluation forms and the 10-point checklist. The video can be found on NADRA's website at www.NADRA.org. The association posted the video to their YouTube channel and to various Social Media Networks. MORE  Please help us spread the word!

ICC's Backyard Safety By Glenn Mathewson, NADRA's Technical Advisor Share
There's a lot of information out there on the Web about backyard safety, from those aimed at providing "parenting advice" to medical websites aimed at keeping bandages on the shelf. Another such source is the International Code Council, the publisher of our nation's leading model construction codes. In the big scheme of things, decks are a small part of our built environment. With ICC providing codes and standards for large commercial complexes, like hotels and retail centers, it's nice when our industry of backyard decks gets some attention ... and not just in new code provisions. For Building Safety Month, May of every year, ICC is focusing attention on decks and outdoor living ... a good sign that our industry is vibrant, growing and important to our culture. The article behind this link provides a nice call to owners and property managers that decks don't last forever, or may have been built substandard to begin with. Read more on ICC's Backyard Safety.

Continuing education for builders and contractors NJDecksandRailing.com Share
Wow, representatives from C. Verblaauw and Sons attended the NADRA Deck Education course No. 2 held in April 2012. It was very informative and Glenn Mathewson is an awesome and inspiring teacher. Any deck builder who missed this course should be looking to sign up the next time it is in the area. We are up against many changes in the building codes when townships start adopting the 2012 International Residential Code as their new platform.
