2011 DIAMOND LEVEL OF ACHIEVMENT - WT Byler Co takes the 2011 Diamond STEP Award offered by the Associated Builders and Contractors; the highest honor recognizing a safety program that demonstrates the highest commitment for safety given to contractors that have achieved low experience modifier rates for on-the-job accidents.
ABC's Safety Training and Evaluation Process Awards - STEP recognize members who employ effective safety practices on their jobsites and are based on 20 key elements of contractor safety programs such as management commitment, pre-planning for safety on jobsites, safety training and resources committed to safety. The STEP process; developed and written by contractors for contractors, is a tool designed to objectively evaluate safety programs, policies, procedures and training.
This year the Greater Houston Chapter earned 14 Diamond-level awards; the highest STEP level achievable, as well as 26 Platinum-level awards and 11 Gold-level awards... 51 honorees total in the field of construction.
Diamond-level winners must have an incidence rate at least 50% below the national Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) average in their particular NAICS code for at least three consecutive years and have an EMR (or "mod factor") at or below 0.700 (0.800 for companies with fewer than 100 employees). WT Byler Co achieved a 0.19 EMR for 2010 - NAICS Code 237990.
