Every year, ABC recognizes member companies that demonstrated outstanding safety performance the previous year. Entries are evaluated based on the type of member company - general contractor, subcontractor or supplier - and the total number of manhours worked.
Teton Industrial Construction, Inc., was honored with the ABC National 2008 Safety Excellence Award. Winners were selected from members achieving platinum status in ABC's Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) program, based on criteria including self-evaluations, lost workday case rates, total recordable rates and interviews conducted by members of ABC's national Environment, Health and Safety Committee.
Kirk Pickerel, ABC President and CEO; Randy Culler, Director of Safety, Teton Industrial Construction; Tom Stapleton, Director Business Development, Teton Industrial Construction; and Jerry Gorski, 2009 ABC National Chairman. Teton Industrial Construction won a Safety Merit Award in the $2 million+ Industrial category.
The Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) was developed and written by contractors for contractors. The STEP program provides members with an organized approach to analyzing and further developing their safety and loss prevention program. It gives companies a valid, objective method with which to measure safety program improvements, and provides them with safety performance recognition that can be used as an important business development tool with clients. Awards are based on approximately 20 key elements of contractor safety programs such as commitment of company management, responsibilities of safety personnel, and budget. 2009 Safety Forum Chairman John Ambrosia (right) and 2009 ABC of Georgia Chairman Les Juneau (left) present Mulkey Enterprises, Inc. with their Platinum STEP Award.
In addition to the STEP Award, the Georgia Chapter of ABC presents its Georgia Chapter Safety Awards of Excellence each year. This award is presented to companies who have achieved total recordable and lost time rates lower than the national average.
