Enhancing Safety with STEP
Established in 1989, the Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) started as a tool for benchmarking safety standards but has since transformed into a premier safety management system. This system significantly boosts safety performance for its users, catering to companies of all sizes and across various types of work. ABC member firms participating in STEP assess their safety procedures and protocols against 25 critical elements using a comprehensive questionnaire. The ultimate aim is to develop or improve safety programs that effectively minimize incidents on the jobsite.
Your company can be up to 655% safer through the STEP Management System.
Transforming Safety Standards
With the Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) Management System, we’ve seen companies reach new heights in workplace safety. STEP provides a structured approach to analyzing and improving safety performance, proving that a commitment to safety management significantly reduces risks.

Creating a Supportive, Stigma-Free Workplace
Suicide Prevention Training
ABC Rocky Mountain has adopted the VitalCog program as a crucial initiative to tackle mental health in the workplace. This program aims to eliminate the stigma around mental health and create an environment where employees actively support each other’s well-being.
- Depression is estimated to cause 200 million lost workdays each year at a cost to employers of $17 to $44 billion
- In a 3-month period, patients with depression miss an average of 4.8 workdays and suffer 11.5 days of reduced productivity
- Deaths by suicide cost the US $44 billion annually
- 70% of those who die by suicide are working age (CDC)
Here’s why VitalCog matters:
The VitalCog program offers essential training, educating participants on mental health and suicide risks in the workplace. It provides practical skills to recognize signs that a colleague may be at risk and teaches how to respond effectively in a crisis. By introducing this program, ABC Rocky Mountain shows its commitment to fostering a supportive and safe work environment, where the mental health of every employee is valued and prioritized.
