STEP is a signatory of the Builders Code for an Acceptable Workplace.
We adhere to the principles of a workplace where all employees are able to work together without causing harm. One that is free from discrimination, hazing, harassment and bullying, from the worksite to the boardroom. 

We know that employing workers with different attributes, backgrounds, experiences, and skills is a benefit to BC’s construction employers. 

• We encourage employers to hire based on skill and experience and compensate all employees at fair market value regardless of gender, race, religion, or ethnicity.
   
• We encourage employers to identify and remove barriers to training and career development; creating equitable opportunities for all employees.
   
• We encourage employers to ensure the health, safety and well-being of everyone on the worksite by providing a work environment free from discrimination, harassment, hazing, and bullying.
   
• We promote education, awareness and training on the Acceptable Worksite behaviour that positively impacts BC’s construction industry, its employers and its workforce.
   
• We pledge to continuously back up our commitment through our actions, without compromise.
