ABC’s STEP (Safety Training Evaluation Process) is a program that was implemented in 1989 and has evolved into a world-class safety management system that dramatically improves safety performance among participants regardless of company size or type of work.

Participating ABC member companies measure their safety processes and policies on 25 key components through a detailed questionnaire with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incidents.

Participating in STEP will help make improvements to your safety program and if that isn’t reason enough to fill out an application, other benefits of being a STEP member include being eligible for Accredited Quality Contractor, Top Performers and National Safety Excellence Awards, and an opportunity to be recognized at both local and national levels.

STEP helps contractors focus their safety effort to have the highest impact and best measurable results.

ABC will provide information on best practices that will reduce TRIR, DART and EMR, and you will be able to measure improvement from year to year.

Getting started with STEP is free, and it can help lower workers compensation insurance rates.
