MMR Achieves Highest Safety Level Through ABC STEP Program

November 25, 2024

MMR Group, Inc. announced it has achieved Diamond Level again 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.

“We are proud to continuously be recognized at the highest level by Associated Builders and Contractors for upholding rigorous safety standards,” said MMR President/CEO James B. ‘Pepper’ Rutland. “At MMR, safety always comes first and our commitment to maintaining a safe work environment is at the forefront of everything we do.”

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.

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.
