Baton Rouge, LA, ‑ The Alliance Safety Council held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, April 20, to dedicate its new training facility at 10099 N. Reiger Rd.
The 32,500-square-foot building opened to members and industry workers on Monday, April 23. The new location at Siegen and I-10 is less than a mile from the council’s previous location on Siegen Lane and is convenient for those coming from all across the metro area. The building offers multipurpose training rooms and computer labs, meeting and event space for member use, a child passenger seat fitting station, and administrative offices of the Baton Rouge staff. Gulf Coast Occupational Medicine, an industrial health and testing company, has relocated with the council and has added a physician on staff at the new facility for doctor certifications and after-hours emergencies.
Kathy Trahan, president and CEO of Alliance, and Jan Lass, chairman of the Alliance board of directors and vice president of construction services at Cajun Industries, cut the ribbon and welcomed honored guests from the Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance; the U.S. Dept. of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration; Arkel Constructors, general contractor; Grace & Hebert, architects; Chase Bank, financiers; members of the board and building committee; and industry business partners.
A 501c3 nonprofit corporation, the Alliance Safety Council has served area businesses for 54 years. The recent name change from the Safety Council of the Louisiana Capital Area to the Alliance Safety Council is a direct result of the partnerships formed with local contractor industries and members. Members have taken the association to a nationwide market through national programs such as the Certified Occupational Safety Specialist (COSS) and PowerSafe. Alliance Safety Council continues to operate satellite locations in Gonzales and Addis and delivers computer-based, instructor-led, and online safety training to industry workers as well as first aid, CPR, and driver safety training to the community at large.
