Canada's construction news

The report is based on research on more than 900 million work hours completed by participants in the construction, heavy construction, civil engineering and specialty trades in 2023.. The association is a national construction industry trade group founded in 1950. It represents more than 23,000 members in 68 chapters and is founded on the merit shop philosophy.

“Both the 2024 ABC Safety Performance Report and ABC’s STEP Safety Management System will help any contractor or supplier on their safety journey. If we choose to lead, if we choose to commit and if we choose to transform, together we will create the conditions for everyone to do their work without incident and go home safer, healthier, happier and fulfilled every day.”

Members that deployed STEP measured their safety processes and policies on key components through a detailed self-assessment with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incident rates. They scored their level of achievement for each component on a scale of zero to 12. Companies received a recognition level of diamond, platinum, gold, silver, bronze or participant based on the score they achieved in the assessment.

The report found companies that conduct an in-depth indoctrination of new employees into the safety culture, systems and processes based on a documented orientation process experience incident rates that are 45 per cent lower than companies that limit their orientations to basic safety and health compliance topics.

Employer involvement at the highest level of company management is also key as the report found that scenario produces a 54-per-cent reduction in TRIR and 52-per-cent reduction in DART rates.
