Protecting the Industry
STEP Safety Management System
Your people are your most important resource. Is your safety program protecting them? Are you measuring its impact? How do you know if you are improving year over year?
ABC contractors created the STEP Safety Management System to provide you with a framework for measuring your safety data and benchmarking your performance. The self-assessment tool identifies real opportunities for scalable growth in your safety program to better protect your people and those working with you on project sites.
Data shows that those companies utilizing STEP have, on average, 40% fewer total recordables than the industry average. Let’s make construction safer together!
