The Associated Builders and Contractors Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) is a safety benchmarking and improvement tool that was established in 1989. It was developed and written by contractors, for contractors, and is designed to improve safety performance among construction industry participants regardless of company size or type of work. The STEP program has evolved into a world-class safety management system that can help companies achieve world-class safety performance.

Participating ABC member companies 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 job site incident rates.
