Callahan Construction Achieves Gold S.T.E.P. Award for 10th Consecutive Year

WOBURN—Associated Builders and Contractors of Massachusetts (ABC), the state’s largest construction trade association, and the Gould Construction Institute (GCI), ABC’s training affiliate, awarded Callahan Construction Managers with a Gold Safety, Training, and Evaluation Process (S.T.E.P.) award.

ABC and GCI present S.T.E.P. Awards annually to ABC member companies with exceptional safety records. According to ABC, this year’s applicant pool was highly competitive with a record 60 companies recognized as having an outstanding commitment to job site safety. Applicants are evaluated on various statistical factors, including incident rates, lost time and OSHA recordable events, combined with a safety audit consisting of twenty key components. This year, Callahan Construction Managers took home the Gold S.T.E.P Award in recognition of its commitment to ensuring a safe work environment for its entire workforce.

Callahan Construction’s lead staff took pride in the recognition, “We are honored to be recognized by ABC MA for the 10th consecutive year as a Gold S.T.E.P Award winner,” noted Patrick Callahan, President of Callahan Construction Managers. “This recognition further reinforces our unwavering commitment to worksite safety through consistent training, education, and evaluation.”

The S.T.E.P. Awards is ABC/GCI’s premier annual event. “A contractor’s most valuable resource is their workers. There is nothing more important than job site safety,” noted GCI President Barbara Lagergren. “This year’s award recipients deserve each and every accolade they received by continuing to raise the standards of safety, training, and education throughout the construction industry.” The honor was presented at the 13th Annual ABC/GCI Safety & Education Dinner held May 18th at Montvale Plaza in Stoneham.
