About STEP

The phrase STEP stands for Safety Training and Evaluation Process. This is an evaluation process developed by the Associated Builders and Contractors to provide contractors with an organized approach for analyzing and developing safety and loss prevention programs.


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.
