Commercial Construction Company Scott-Long Achieves STEP DIAMOND Level for Exemplifying World-Class Safety Performance

CHANTILLY, VA, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Scott-Long Construction (SLC), a commercial construction company based in the Washington Metropolitan Region, announces that it has achieved the DIAMOND level in Associated Builders and Contractors’ (ABS) STEP Safety Management System. This award signifies that SLC has excelled in safety performance by participating in ABC’s Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP).

STEP provides commercial construction companies with the framework to measure, strengthen and build industry-leading safety programs. The system enables ABC members to achieve incident rates nearly six times safer than the US Bureau of Labor Statistics construction industry average. Ratings range from Diamond—the highest—to Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Participant.

“This is our fourth consecutive year achieving STEP DIAMOND level,” said John Scott, CEO of Scott-Long Construction. “SLC places tremendous emphasis on safety for all of our projects, and it is an honor to be recognized for our efforts.”

Safety isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about protecting people and getting them home at night. Earning step diamond for the fourth year in a row reinforces what Scott-Long clients already know: a safer job site leads to a healthy workplace for our team members, vendors, and partners.
