Nominations are open for the 2026 Contractor Safety Awards.

This long-standing program recognizes contractors across Southwest Louisiana who lead by example and demonstrate a strong commitment to workplace safety.

Through a rigorous, industry-trusted evaluation process, these awards highlight the companies building safe workplaces across the region.

So far in 2026, Safety Essentials training has equipped more than 65,000 workers with the PSM-required Contractor Orientation needed to access industrial job sites. 

Recognized as the industry standard and accepted at 605+ owner-operator sites nationwide, Safety Essentials streamlines onboarding, strengthens safety culture, and helps contractors mobilize their workforce efficiently.  

Join us tomorrow in Sulphur and prepare yourself to work safely in hazardous environments. The Supplied Air course, including Respirator Training (19RESP), provides hands-on instruction in the proper use, inspection, and care of respirators, SCBAs, and associated equipment.

Participants gain practical experience identifying respiratory hazards, operating positive-pressure supplied air systems, and applying respiratory protection procedures in real-world job scenarios.

Train in Sulphur and prepare to work safely in permit-required confined spaces. This instructor-led course covers OSHA standards, hazard recognition and control, as well as the roles and responsibilities of entrants, attendants, and supervisors.

Hands-on exercises in air monitoring, ventilation, lockout/tagout, and permit entry help trainees build the confidence and practical skills needed to work safely in challenging environments.

We are proud to expand our presence in Louisiana by delivering industry-leading safety training and occupational health services that support the region's workforce.
