Every employee has the right to initiate Stop Work Authority for any task they deem unsafe or misunderstood without fear of repercussion.” STEP applicants measure their safety processes and policies on 24 key components through a detailed questionnaire with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incidents. In addition to effective training, programs and policies, MMR experienced no lost time incidents and had a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.10. Twenty-four (24) times better than the national rate for Electrical Contractors of 2.4.“ As an industry, it is our responsibility to ensure our workers go home in the same –or better— condition than when they arrived on the jobsite every day,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC vice president of health, safety, environment and workforce development.
