Our Safety
In our house safety is a way of life… another one of our traditions… a culture that is not taken lightly. When we set out on a project one of our many goals is an accident free jobsite. But safety DOES NOT stop there. We practice what we preach, and our number one rule applies universally; SAFETY 1ST!
 We have achieved the Associated Builders and Contractors' STEP Platinum Level every year since 1999, exceeding our previous Gold Level status. STEP (Safety Training and Evaluation Process) Awards are granted to contractors who achieve effective safety practices. STEP also provides a tool for objectively evaluating safety programs, policies, procedures and training. - We have obtained OSHA Partnerships through ABC in the states of Missouri and Kansas.
- We have been recognized by the Builders Association of Missouri and the Associated General Contractors of America for our efforts and results in the execution of our safety program.
- Our experience modification rate is consistently below the manual rate and contributes to lower construction costs which we are able to pass along to our project owners.
What is the STEP Program?
- STEP was created in 1989 by the ABC National Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) Committee to recognize ABC member companies with exceptional safety records.
- There are four levels of achievement in the STEP program: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
- STEP Platinum recipients represent:
- Companies with a proven track record of safety—those who have achieved the STEP Gold or Platinum level the previous year
- Around 500 ABC member companies, or about 2% of all ABC members
- Companies with OSHA recordable incident rates well below the national average
- STEP Platinum winners are automatically eligible for the ABC National Safety Excellence Awards (NSEA), ABC’s highest level of recognition in the field of safety training. Platinum winners are also eligible for the Construction Users’ Round Table (CURT) Construction Industry Safety Excellence (CISE) award.
- STEP provides ABC contractor members 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.
- STEP highlights not only a company’s safety and training successes, but also helps to identify areas where companies can improve their efforts to build a stronger safety program.
- STEP recognizes companies that go above and beyond OSHA requirements for a safe workplace!
