Safety Skills

Safety in the workplace may not be the kind of thing most people
think about, but if you work for a company with more than a
handful of employees -- and particularly an industrial or
construction company that involves heavy machinery or dangerous
chemicals -- safety is paramount to what you do every day and is
top of mind of important people in your organization. In fact,
it's so important, there are whole categories of employees who do
nothing but safety-related stuff and finding them and hiring them
has spawned a cottage industry that is proving lucrative for one
local entrepreneur.


Safety


John Cambre is president of ResponsAble Safety Staffing, a Baton
Rouge Company that  provides trained safety staff on a
contract, temporary or permanent basis to clients in the oil and
gas, construction and general industrial sectors.


The company was founded by John’s father, Darryl Cambre
originally as a safety consulting company in 2007. John, then
fresh out of college, joined the firm and quickly realized that
the greatest need their clients had was to find qualified
employees in the safety field so he built out their expertise and
changed the company’s brand in 2010.


In the years since, he has grown ResponsAble Safety Solutions
into a national company with clients across the country. 


Skills


While safety is important in an organization so is performance,
especially if you’re talking about a team or competitive
organization. But a lot of people get caught up in the pressure
of performing, or may not be maximizing their potential, which is
where Aaron Pearson came in.


Aaron is the owner of iDeveloped Skills Academy, a training
program that that works with athletes to help them identify areas
where they can improve and develop their skills and potential.
Aaron founded the company in 2010 and has since developed several
spinoff ventures -- Elite by ECW, an athletic clothing brand that
makes custom-jerseys for local sports teams; and, EazyTicks, a
digital ticketing and operating platform for area schools.
