Van Horn Construction team members attended the 2019 Associated Builders and Contractors of Arkansas state convention last weekend to receive the Diamond STEP Award, ABC's highest safety distinction. Each year participating construction firms engage in a range of safety training programs and development processes to ensure best practices for safety and clean working environments.

Founded in 1989, STEP is a world-class safety management system that dramatically improves the safety performance of participating organizations. In fact, STEP recipients at the Diamond Level are report a Total Recordable Incident Rate that is 680% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average. 

VHC also earned Excellence in Construction Awards for multiple projects at this year's ABC Arkansas Convention, including the Russellville High School Multi-Purpose Facility, the City of Russellville's Central Fire Station, and Clarksville Light & Water Mitigation Phases I, II, and III.
