ABC Safety Programs: Essential Construction Education Components
A comprehensive Safety program will reap benefits in your organization far beyond just avoiding injuries. Your safety record is your calling card. It indicates how your organization views the workers on a humanistic level. Well trained workers who are focused on performing their tasks safely will also increase quality and production. Excellent safety programs can eliminate the necessity for accident investigations, job wide shutdowns and production delays. All this can be prevented, and ABC Institute is here to help!
Safety Education
ABC Institute offers a wide variety of training topics and resources ranging from toolbox talks, jobsite safety presentations, OSHA 10 and 30 hour training, two-day advanced safety workshop known as the Safety Academy and awareness level training on rigging, scaffolding, excavation, fall protection and much more!
STEP
(Safety Training Evaluation Program)
At ABC Institute, we promote the safety benchmarking system nationally known as STEP (Safety Training Evaluation Program) It's an organized approach for analyzing and developing safety and loss-prevention programs and establishing metrics on success. It is a crucial safety standard for the construction industry.
Formed in 1989, STEP has had outstanding results within the industry. It upgrades safety performance at participating companies regardless of size or contracting work type. Firms use 25 key components to measure their safety policies using an in-depth questionnaire aimed at identifying safety areas that need improvement.
Safety Inspections
Third party safety inspections will help reinforce onsite safety accountability. Having a safety professional walk the site, documenting and correcting any hazards that are observed along with excellent safety practices can protect your site. In case of an OSHA inspection, these audits could even result in a dismissal or reduction of citations issued. Lastly, statistics show that regular safety inspections result in less accidents and lower insurance premiums.
