Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Certification – What if your company could be 770% safer than the industry average? Established in 1989, STEP was developed and written by ABC contractors, and provides s a safety benchmarking and improvement tool that dramatically improves safety performance among construction industry participants regardless of company size or type of work. Participating ABC member firms measure their safety processes and policies on 20 key components through a detailed questionnaire, with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incident rates.
