CHANTILLY, VA, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Scott-Long Construction, a North Virginia commercial contractor and leader for the development and construction industry since 1961, has once again achieved the DIAMOND level in Associated Builders and Contractors’ (ABS) STEP Safety Management System.
The award recognizes companies that have excelled in safety performance by participating in ABC’s Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP).
STEP is a system that provides the framework to measure, strengthen and build industry-leading safety programs that enable top-performing ABC members to achieve incident rates nearly six times safer than the US Bureau of Labor Statistics construction industry average. Ratings range from Diamond—the highest—to Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Participant.
“We are thrilled to receive the esteemed STEP DIAMOND award for the second year in a row,” said John Scott, CEO of Scott-Long. “This recognition exemplifies the value that everyone on our team places on safety on the construction site every day.”
“STEP measures performance on key components, strengthens and expands best practices and builds safety culture. Our people are our greatest asset, and I commend Scott-Long Construction for consistently fulfilling those commitments to raise the bar of safety performance,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC vice president of health, safety, environment and workforce development.
According to ABC’s annual Safety Performance Report, STEP participants, regardless of company size or type of work, can reduce recordable incidents up to 83%, making the best-performing companies 576% safer than the US Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average.
