Appeals of STEP Level

In certain instances, a company may feel that the STEP qualification criteria cannot be reasonably met and unfairly prohibit their company from being recognized at the appropriate STEP level. A company may appeal their STEP level to the ABC National Safety & Health Committee, who will review the submission and supporting materials to make a determination for or against the appeal.

Please note that ONLY the following criteria may be the cause of an appeal at this time:

• Total Recordable Incidence Rate (TRIR)

Provisional STEP Level

The company contact on file, along with all affiliated ABC chapters, will be notified instantly of their provisional STEP level upon submitting all required information. This is a provisional notification; final notification will occur once the STEP submission data has been reviewed and confirmed by ABC National.

1 Key Components Self-Assessment Score — ABC does not publish minimum qualification scores for the Key Components.
2 Incidence Rate — Represents the number of OSHA recordable injuries/illnesses per 100 employees a company experiences in a given calendar year. It is calculated with the following formula:
Incidence Rate = N x 200,000/Total hours worked by all employees in calendar year
“N” represents the total number of OSHA recordable incidents for calendar year (Lines G + H + I + J on OSHA Form 300A) The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has created an online Incidence Rate Calculator that may be accessed at https://data.bls.gov/iirc/.
3 BLS — For purposes of this submission process, see Bureau of Labor Statistics averages in the supporting document titled “NAICS Codes and TRIR Thresholds.” This resource is available for download on the landing page of the STEP submission portal at https://step.abc.org/.
4 NAICS — North American Industry Classification System. If you are unsure in which NAICS code your company should be classified, reference www.census.gov/naics/ for code definitions. NAICS code classification should represent the majority of the company’s primary work. A sampling of construction NAICS codes and corresponding national BLS incident rates is listed in the “NAICS CODES and TRIR Thresholds” document referenced above.
5 Note that, for companies with less than 100 employees who are submitting based on their three-year incidence rate average, you must submit your 2023, 2024 and 2025 OSHA Form 300A. For companies with less than 50 employees who are submitting based on their five-year incidence rate average, you must submit your 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 OSHA Form 300A.
