ABC History• Founded in 1950• 22,000 construction industry members• 70 chapters nationwide• ABC’s Vision:
Based on the merit shop philosophy, Associated Builders and Contractors helps Members develop
people, win work and deliver that work Safely, Ethically and Profitably for the betterment of the communities in
which they work.

STEP History
– Created in 1989 by the ABC National Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) Committee to help recognize ABC member companies with exceptional safety records.
– Six levels of achievement in the STEP program: Participant, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum & Diamond.
– Provides contractors with a consistent, effective tool to evaluate safety training programs by using 20 standard “Key Components” of safety. Each key component focuses on specific safety and training areas essential to a successful, effective safety training program.
4
So what, exactly, is STEP?• Pre-qualification tool for owners/users• Performance evaluator for insurers• Internal company tool for:
– Recognition– Evaluation / Benchmarking– Data-gathering– IMPROVEMENT
STEP provides contractors with the means to determine how they can send EVERY worker home safely EVERY night.
5
The Benefits of STEP
– Helps contractors evaluate their safety training programs and identify areas of improvement.
– Helps contractors reduce workers’ compensation costs by building stronger, more effective safety systems & processes.
– Provides recognition for contractors who consistently provide a safe work environment not only to employees, but to customers as well.
– Sets companies apart from their competition.– Saves LIVES and MONEY!

How STEP works
• OSHA Form 300A data – source of ½ of all STEP application info
• Company information– Man-hours worked– Type of work done– Location of work– NAICS code
• EMR & Incidence Rate• 20 Key Components Self-Evaluation

STEP Savings through Lower EMR
Fatality, TRIR & DART Trends: What do they mean?
– Fewer fatalities=higher morale– Lower Total Recordable Incidence Rate (TRIR)=higher
employee productivity– Lower Days Away, Restricted or Transferred Rate
(DART)=fewer days without employees & lower workers’ comp rates
STEP participants show lower rates, increasing their productivity and profitability

Strengthening STEP: 2014 and Beyond• ALL STEP participants MUST sign the Drug- and
Alcohol-Free Workplace Pledge (www.drugfreeconstruction.org)

New Leading Indicator Questions• Number of federal/state OSHA final citations issued
(after settlements) in 2013– Willful – Repeat – Serious – Other than Serious– De Minimis
• Length of safety portion of new-hire orientation (in minutes)
• Do you conduct site-specific safety orientations for all employees? (Y/N)
17
New Leading Indicator Questions
• Do you track near misses/hits (situations that, had circumstance(s) been different, would have resulted in injuries/fatalities and/or an OSHA citation)? (Y/N)
• Do you establish/participate in site safety committees at each jobsite? (Y/N)

STEP Qualification Criteria for Smaller Companies• Companies under 100 employees=may use
3-yr. incidence rate average• Companies under 50 employees=may use
5-yr. incidence rate average• Companies under 100 employees may use
Loss Ratio qualifier for STEP Platinum and Diamond
23
How the 5-year TRIR average helps small companies
• XYZ Company (19 employees; NAICS 236220) needs 3-year IR of 1.6 to qualify for STEP Diamond
• 3-year avg.=2.4—DNQ Diamond
• 5-year avg.=1.5—STEP Diamond

How Companies Use STEP- Self-evaluation tool—strengthening
their safety & training program using the 20 Key Components “roadmap”
- Long-term data comparison—track company’s historical performance against itself
- Benchmark performance versus:- Peers- Industry/BLS averages- Similar companies (type of work, man hours
worked)25
How Companies Use STEP Recognition– Pre-bid qualifications/bid packages
• STEP recognized among many owners/users as safety indicator
– Promoting the company• Ads, among peers, etc.• Benchmark for safety
performance
– Advertising• STEP logo on hard hats, vehicles, etc.
– Negotiating with insurance carriers• Proven safety performance
– Incentive to keep improvingUntil we reach 0 injuries, we can always do better! 26
Why STEP Matters
• Provides ABC members and non-members with the tools and resources to achieve world-class safety performance
The world-class standard for health, safety and environment in the construction industry embodies leadership commitment to not only developing a safety culture where each person is accountable for the safety and well-being of all, but providing the means and methods for each employee to leave work in the same—or better—condition than which they arrived.
