🔔 They thought a little cowbell wouldn’t go far.

At ABC San Diego, the cowbell has always meant something.
It rings through our halls to celebrate wins, hype-up our teams, and show pride in our people.

So when CEO & President Shandon Harbour brought a cowbell to the National Craft Championships, it wasn’t just for noise. It was a tradition carried into the spotlight.

And then something unexpected happened…

They stole it.
They auctioned it off...
They bid on it!

The cowbell took on a life of its own and started showing up in places we never imagined!

🎬 Our three-part limited series starts next Wednesday (5/14).
The buildup. The rivalries. The moments you didn’t see.
And maybe...you’ll get a glimpse of what turned one small tradition into something everyone wanted to be part of.

Watch the teaser now!

The bell may travel but the story is just getting started.

👉 Follow us on YouTube so you don't miss a thing!

A clear state of mind builds a safer site 🧠

At ABC San Diego, we believe a drug- and alcohol-free workplace is essential to a strong safety culture. Impairment puts everyone at risk—and safety starts with showing up ready, focused, and responsible.

We’re proud to support the Construction Coalition for a Drug- and Alcohol-Free Workplace, a national effort led by ABC and other top industry organizations to eliminate substance-related incidents on jobsites.

The coalition provides valuable resources to help companies strengthen their substance abuse policies and build safer, more productive teams.

STEP onto safer jobsites 🚧 This @constructions

STEP onto safer jobsites 🚧

This @constructionsafetyweek is all about raising the standard for safety, and ABC’s STEP Health and Safety Management System is one of the most effective tools to do just that.

STEP helps contractors evaluate and strengthen their safety programs using industry-proven best practices. And it works:

📉 Top-performing STEP participants reduce their TRIR by up to 85% and are nearly 7 times safer than the industry average. (ABC National’s 2025 Safety Performance Report)

Whether you’re just starting your safety journey or aiming for elite performance, STEP gives you a clear roadmap.
