At Brown Eagle, we’ve always believed that everything we do, from site logistics and supply chain support to warehouse solutions and packaging & assembly, means nothing without the safety of our employees.
That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce that Brown Eagle has officially earned certification through the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). With this designation, we join a highly exclusive group of just 53 certified worksites in all of Louisiana and become one of only eight in the Baton Rouge area.
Safety is Who We Are.
The real win here isn’t the certification. It’s the fact that at the end of every shift, our team members return home safely to their families. That is our truest measure of success.
Our President and Owner, Lela Mae Wilkes, captured this milestone perfectly:
“Safety isn’t just a box we check. It’s how we operate every single day. Every person who shows up committed to doing the job right and going home safely earned this SHARP certification. It is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, from the plant sites and warehouses to our leadership, and this recognition belongs entirely to them.”
What It Takes to Be a SHARP Site.
SHARP isn’t a participation trophy. It is one of OSHA’s highest recognitions for safety excellence.
To earn this, we opened our doors to a rigorous, comprehensive assessment. We proved that our injury and illness rates sit comfortably below the national industry average. More importantly, we demonstrated that safety at Brown Eagle isn’t a top-down lecture; it’s a daily practice driven by active employee involvement at every single level. As a direct result of this achievement, OSHA has exempted us from programmed inspections for the duration of our certification. That is a massive badge of honor, representing the ultimate trust the federal government places in our operational systems.
What This Means for Our Partners.
For the nation’s leading chemical and energy companies who depend on us every day, this certification is proof of a promise. When you partner with Brown Eagle, you are working with a team that treats safety as foundational, NOT optional.
We want to extend a massive thank you to the Louisiana Workforce Commission and their consultation team for their incredible partnership throughout this journey. Most of all, we want to thank the entire Brown Eagle family.
We’ve officially raised the bar. Now, we’re ready to keep setting the standard for safety across the Gulf Coast and beyond.
