Sevan Multi-Site Solutions Achieves World-Class Safety Performance Through Platinum-Level ABC STEP Program
DOWNERS GROVE, IL, MAY 27, 2025 — Sevan Multi-Site Solutions, Inc. (Sevan) recently announced it has achieved Platinum-level recognition in Associated Builders and Contractors’ STEP Safety Management System. Founded more than three decades ago, STEP provides a framework for construction firms to measure, strengthen, and build industry-leading safety programs. Earning STEP recognition demonstrates safety performance that is nearly six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics construction industry average.
“Our clients trust us to deliver excellence—not just in execution, but in how we care for our people,” said Jim Evans, CEO and Founder of Sevan. “Earning ABC STEP Platinum validates the safety-first culture we’ve built across the company. It’s a reflection of the deep commitment our team brings to every site, every day.”
STEP participants complete a comprehensive evaluation of their safety programs and practices to identify opportunities for improvement and benchmark progress against industry standards. Through this process, Sevan demonstrated ongoing excellence in jobsite safety, employee engagement, and proactive risk management.
“At Sevan, safety isn’t just a metric—it’s our mindset,” said Chris Carter, Vice President of Safety. “We’re proud of this recognition because it speaks to our people. From field teams to leadership, every person plays a part in maintaining a safe, healthy environment where we can all thrive.”
According to ABC’s annual Safety Performance Report, STEP participants can reduce recordable incidents by up to 83%, making top-performing companies 576% safer than the industry average. STEP ratings range from Bronze and Silver to Gold, Platinum, and Diamond—the highest level.
“Safety is a journey, and that journey is possible because of systems like STEP, which enables ABC member contractors like Sevan to actively build health and safety into their culture,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment and Workforce Development. “Our people are our greatest asset, and I commend Sevan for consistently fulfilling those commitments to raise the bar of safety performance.”
