Safer Jobsites

What if your company could be more than 80% times safer than the industry average? It’s not just possible, it’s doable, with ABC’s STEP Safety Management System. Participating ABC members measure their safety processes and policies on leading indicators such as supervisor new hire orientation, substance abuse prevention programs, toolbox talks and top management engagement, all with the goal of implementing or enhancing programs that dramatically improve safety performance.

Strong Advocacy

ABC is a relentless advocate for our industry on topics ranging from vaccination mandates and OSHA rules to environmental regulation and complex work rules. ABC works to ensure open competition for construction contractors based solely on merit, regardless of labor affiliation, and helps members support pro-merit shop legislation and fight red tape with one powerful voice—and a mighty PAC.
