CF Evans Achieves Diamond Safety Recognition Through ABC STEP Program
CF Evans is proud to announce the organization has achieved Diamond level in Associated Builders and Contractors’STEP Safety Management System. Founded more than three decades ago, STEP is a proven system that provides the framework to measure, strengthen and build industry-leading safety programs that enable top-performing ABC members to achieve incident rates nearly six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics construction industry average.
“At CF Evans, safety is more than a priority—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our commitment to ‘Building People First’ means that we place the well-being of our team, our subcontractor partners, and our communities at the heart of our operations. The Diamond Level accreditation from Associated Builders and Contractors in 2024 is a testament to our unwavering dedication to safety. We believe that by fostering a culture where safety is paramount, we not only protect lives but also build stronger, more resilient communities.”
— David Summers, President, CF Evans
STEP participants measure their safety processes and policies on key components through a detailed questionnaire with the goal of implementing or enhancing health and safety programs that reduce jobsite incidents.
“Safety is a journey, and that journey is possible because of systems like STEP, which enables ABC member contractors like CF Evans to actively build health and safety into their culture, creating industry-leading, holistic safety programs to protect their workers and deliver for their clients,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment and Workforce development. “STEP measures performance on key components, strengthens and expands best practices and builds safety culture. Our people are our greatest asset, and I commend CF Evans for consistently fulfilling those commitments to raise the bar of safety performance.”
According to ABC’s annual Safety Performance Report, STEP participants, regardless of company size or type of work, can reduce recordable incidents up to 83%, making the best-performing companies 576% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average. Ratings range from Diamond, the highest, to Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Participant. With a history spanning over 75 years, CF Evans is honored to have been recognized with ABC’s highest rating, Diamond, and pledges our commitment to prioritize safety above all else in the decades to come.
