Downers Grove, Ill. — Apr. 14, 2026 — Sevan Multi-Site Solutions, Inc. (Sevan) has achieved Platinum level in Associated Builders and Contractors’ STEP® Health and Safety Management System for the second consecutive year. STEP enables top-performing ABC members, like Sevan, to achieve incident rates 658% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics construction industry average, reducing total recordable incident rates by 85%.
“Maintaining consistent safety across hundreds of active sites requires clear processes and active engagement at every level,” said Jim Evans, CEO of Sevan. “This recognition highlights how our teams execute with precision in the field while meeting the high standards our clients expect. Safety is integral to delivering work the right way, every time.”
The real-world impacts of STEP are based on the findings in ABC’s 2025 Health and Safety Performance Report, an annual guide to construction jobsite health and safety best practices. Established in 1989, STEP provides contractors and suppliers with a robust, no-cost framework for measuring health and safety data and benchmarking with peers in the industry.
“STEP will help any contractor or supplier reinforce their commitment to the well-being of their workforce,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment and Workforce Development. “If we choose to lead, if we choose to commit and if we choose to transform, together we can ensure every construction worker goes home safer, happier, healthier and more fulfilled every single day.”
“Transforming the status quo to set the expectation that all incidents are preventable creates a culture where health and safety are elevated to core values, a moral obligation for employers and employees,” said Sizemore. “Priorities change frequently, but values remain consistent. The tools in STEP, as detailed in ABC’s annual safety report, show the blueprint of how industry leaders and workers like those at Sevan create a culture of health and safety and win and deliver work to communities without incident.”
“Our approach emphasizes visibility and accountability in the field,” said Chris Carter, Vice President of Safety. “From pre-task planning to real-time hazard identification, our teams actively manage risk at every stage. This hands-on approach across projects is what drives strong safety outcomes and keeps our people protected.”
Sevan’s safety program focuses on proactive risk identification, comprehensive training, and continuous improvement. Through jobsite audits, real-time hazard mitigation, and a culture of shared accountability, employees across the organization are empowered to prioritize safety and prevent incidents before they occur.
STEP participants assess their safety processes and policies against key components and best-practice criteria using a detailed questionnaire to implement or enhance safety programs that reduce jobsite incident rates. Any company can participate in STEP. Visit abc.org/step to begin or continue your safety journey.
