24th Annual
Safety Excellence Awards
The Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance is proud to announce the winners of the 2020 Safety Excellence Awards. Since 1996, GBRIA has brought together members of the industrial community to celebrate the achievements of both our member companies and the industrial contractors who perform the critical work necessary to keep our facilities safe and efficient.
This year will be one for the record books, in more ways than imaginable. GBRIA was set to host our annual safety excellence awards banquet in April of this year, right as the world responded to the threat of COVID-19. Out of an abundance of caution, the in-person event was canceled, but that did not stop our desire to showcase the nominees and award winners so their hard work did not go unnoticed.
This year’s Safety Excellence Awards program represents 48 nominated contractors from 27 member plants. The nominees represent contractors involved in every facet of plant operations and all boasted impressive safety records over the past year. Please join us in congratulating all of those who were nominated and those who are receiving an award.
The Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance (GBRIA) Safety Excellence Awards have been a staple in the Baton Rouge area since 1996. The awards banquet is an opportunity for GBRIA member sites to nominate those companies who’ve performed work in their facilities and committed themselves to nothing less than safety excellence in their operations. To be nominated for such an award is a great honor and a show of recognition of the great strides contractors have made to keep their workers safe and families whole.
In 1996, when the awards banquet concept was made a reality it was by the work of GBRIA’s Board of Directors, but specifically by Mr. Hal Ginn. It is because of Mr. Ginn’s vision for safe workplaces that we can come together and celebrate safety success stories. Thus, the creation of the coveted Hal Ginn Award. The finalist for this award comes from each division winner, and ultimately the company that shines the brightest takes home this award for excellence.
