Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP)

ABC’s Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) provides members with a safety benchmarking and improvement tool with proven results. The best-performing members dramatically reduce recordable incidents compared to the industry average.


ABC members want to send their workers home safely every night.


Take the first step towards achieving world-class safety by participating in STEP, whether you are beginning your safety journey or continuing to strengthen your performance.
