Helping Our Members Achieve World-Class Safety

ABC-NJ strives to provide all members with the knowledge and tools to achieve the highest standard for health, safety & training, wellness and environment in the construction industry.

STEP Safety Management System

Safer Than The Industry Average And Still Getting Better
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 key components through a detailed questionnaire with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incident rates. Companies receive a rating of Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze or Participant based on their safety performance. STEP members prove that world-class safety is achievable with a companywide commitment to safety as a core value.
