BUILD YOUR SAFETY CULTURE.

MEASURE YOUR PERFORMANCE ON KEY COMPONENTS.

STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND BEST PRACTICES.

Founded in 1989 as a safety benchmarking and improvement tool, STEP 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 firms 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.

 

The Safety Committee develops and promotes quality safety programs. The Committee keeps members informed of the trends and changes in the administration of federal and state safety laws and regulations.
