HASC Louisiana Opens New Brusly Location, Expanding Access to Industry-Leading Safety Training and Health Services Across Plaquemine and Addis

BRUSLY, La., Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Health and Safety Council (HASC^®) has expanded its Louisiana presence with the opening of a new Brusly location, bringing industry-leading training, occupational health services, and screening solutions closer to West Baton Rouge's growing industrial workforce.

The new Brusly branch, located at 400 W. St. Francis Street, expands access to Safety Essentials^®, the most widely accepted reciprocal contractor orientation nationwide, along with site-specific training, occupational health services and NABSC-approved drug and alcohol screening through HASC OmniScreening^™ services. Through the integrated LINK^® digital platform, this location helps companies keep workers site-ready throughout the employee lifecycle and reduce delays at the gate.

"Louisiana's industrial growth continues to accelerate, and our role is to make sure the workforce evolves at the same speed as innovation," said Sarita Scheufens, President of HASC Louisiana. "As a nonprofit, HASC Louisiana reinvests its resources and prioritizes job-site readiness and long-term community impact."

HASC Louisiana Brusly officially opened on October 27, 2025, and will host an Open House on December 2, 2025, featuring tours of the new facility, live music, refreshments, and networking opportunities. The event will give industry partners and community leaders a firsthand look at how HASC is supporting workforce development, safety performance, and operational readiness across Louisiana. RSVP for this complimentary event at www.hasc.us/brusly.

Driven by industry demand, HASC Louisiana continues to grow its footprint across the Gulf Coast region. The organization's regional headquarters in Sulphur operates from a state-of-the-art campus that anchors its Louisiana operations. Building on that foundation, HASC has opened new branches in Gonzales and most recently Brusly, with another training and health center slated to open in LaPlace later this year.
