Gaylor Electric Achieves World-Class Safety Performance Through Diamond Level ABC STEP Program

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / May 3, 2024 / Gaylor Electric has been recognized by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), as achieving Diamond Level in their STEP (Safety Training and Evaluation Process) Safety Management System. Founded more than three decades ago, ABC's STEP system provides the framework to measure, strengthen and build industry-leading safety programs.

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. Gaylor Electric sets the standard for safety by prioritizing employee safety through rigorous education programs, adherence to stringent safety protocols, and a culture of continuous improvement.

"Gaylor Electric prioritizes safety in every endeavor," remarked Chuck Goodrich, CEO of Gaylor Electric. "We consistently review data, learn best practices, and invest in comprehensive education. We promote a culture where every employee takes responsibility for safety. It's about genuine care for people."

Greg Sizemore, ABC vice president of health, safety, environment and workforce development, highlighted the importance of having systems in place that promote safe work practices. He stated, "Safety is a journey, and that journey is possible because of systems like STEP, which enables ABC member contractors like Gaylor Electric to actively build health and safety into their culture, creating industry-leading, holistic safety programs to protect their workers and deliver for their clients," He went on to say, "STEP measures performance on key components, strengthens and expands best practices and builds safety culture. Our people are our greatest asset, and I commend Gaylor Electric for consistently fulfilling those commitments to raise the bar of safety performance."

Gaylor Electric has been featured on this list more than 10 consecutive years in a row. According to ABC's annual Safety Performance Report, STEP participants are 688% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average.
