Each year, OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down Week gives the construction industry a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and re-engage on the importance of preventing falls—the leading cause of fatalities on construction sites. At LEMOINE, safety isn’t just a requirement—it’s a shared value and a daily commitment. This year, our team embraced the spirit of Stand-Down Week with energy, purpose, and statewide participation.
Statewide Site Visits and Engagement
Our Safety Team traveled across Louisiana to conduct in-person Stand-Downs at several of our active project sites, including:
Shell Norco Administration Building and Multipurpose Building – Norco, LA
Acadiana Crime Laboratory – New Iberia, LA
Lafayette High School – Lafayette, LA
McNeese Student Union – Lake Charles, LA
LEMOINE Baton Rouge Office – Baton Rouge, LA
Each event centered around fall protection awareness and included live demonstrations, hands-on training, and meaningful discussions with our crews. These conversations focused on best practices, real-life hazards, and how each team member can take ownership of safety on their jobsite.
Raffles, Lunches, and Vendor Support
A major highlight at each location was the crew appreciation component made possible by our incredible vendor partners. Lunches were generously provided at every Stand-Down event, giving our teams a chance to gather, recharge, and connect.
In addition, raffles were held at each site, offering crew members a chance to win tools, electronics, coolers, safety gear, and more—all donated by our vendors. These giveaways not only added excitement to the events, but also helped reinforce the value we place on investing in our people and their well-being.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our vendor partners who supported this initiative. Your contributions—whether through donated items, food, or your physical presence—elevated every event and made a real impact on our teams.
Building a Culture of Safety—Together
Safety isn’t something we switch on for a single week. It’s something we build into every task, every conversation, and every decision on the jobsite. National Safety Stand-Down Week is an opportunity to recommit to that mindset—and this year’s turnout and engagement showed just how seriously our teams take that responsibility.
We’re especially proud of the participation and enthusiasm shown by our crews. Their questions, input, and real-time feedback during these events proved that safety isn’t just being taught—it’s being lived.
Moving Forward
As we wrap up another successful Safety Stand-Down Week, we’re reminded that the most important thing we build each day is the trust and protection of our people. From our field teams to our safety leaders, from our vendor partners to our leadership team—thank you for standing down with us.
Let’s continue standing up for safety—today, tomorrow, and every day moving forward.
