Sperry Construction Earns ABC STEP Diamond Level Recognition for Safety Excellence

At Sperry Construction, safety is more than a policy; it’s a core value that guides every decision we make. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we have earned Diamond Level recognition through the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP), the highest level of achievement in ABC’s nationally recognized safety program.

The STEP program evaluates contractors on their commitment to creating a strong safety culture through leadership, employee involvement, comprehensive training, hazard prevention, and continuous improvement. Rather than focusing solely on incident rates, STEP recognizes companies that proactively invest in systems and practices that help prevent injuries before they occur.

Achieving Diamond Level places Sperry Construction among an elite group of contractors nationwide who have demonstrated exceptional safety performance and met the program’s most rigorous standards.

For our team, this recognition represents the work that happens every day: planning projects carefully, communicating openly, investing in training, and looking out for one another on every job site.

“Safety isn’t something we check off a list; it’s part of who we are as a company,” said Clayton Wells, Director of Construction. “Earning ABC STEP Diamond Level recognition reflects the commitment our entire team brings to every project. Every employee has a role in creating a safe work environment, and this achievement belongs to all of them. We’re proud to be recognized for the standards we uphold and will continue striving to provide the safest possible workplace while delivering exceptional results for our clients.”

For clients, partners, and the communities we serve, this achievement provides confidence that safety and quality go hand in hand. A strong safety culture leads to better communication, greater efficiency, reduced risk, and successful project outcomes.

As Sperry Construction continues building across the Southeast, this recognition reinforces our commitment to protecting our people, exceeding industry standards, and delivering projects with the professionalism and excellence our clients have come to expect.

We are honored to receive ABC STEP Diamond Level recognition and grateful to every member of the Sperry Construction team whose dedication to safety made this achievement possible.
