Safety starts with Safety Pole
Successful construction depends on more than technical expertise and efficient project management. It requires a culture in which employees, supervisors, and trade partners understand their responsibilities and recognize that the quality of their work includes the safety of everyone involved.
For Landry/French Construction, that sense of shared responsibility is central to how the company operates.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Scarborough, Maine, Landry/French has grown into a respected commercial construction management and general contracting firm with operations extending into Florida. Its experience spans healthcare, education, life sciences, housing, commercial, industrial, and institutional construction.
Landry/French became a 100% employee-owned company in 2016, establishing a business model that gives its workforce a direct stake in the organization’s long-term success.
Employee ownership reinforces the company’s emphasis on accountability, collaboration, and professional pride. Team members are encouraged to contribute ideas, take responsibility for decisions, and continually improve the way projects are delivered.
These principles are especially important on active construction sites, where effective coordination and individual judgment influence not only productivity and workmanship but also the safety of fellow workers.
Landry/French identifies safety as a core organizational value, emphasizing the responsibility of every employee to recognize hazards, address unsafe conditions, and look out for others.
Its safety philosophy is supported by ongoing education, training, job-specific safety planning, and routine inspections. These practices help establish consistent expectations while allowing project teams to respond to changing site conditions.
The company emphasizes a proactive approach in which safety is not limited to supervisory oversight. Every worker has a role in identifying potential hazards and supporting corrective action.
That commitment has received industry recognition, including the Associated Builders and Contractors’ 2022 National Safety Excellence Award.
Commercial construction presents changing safety considerations throughout a project’s lifecycle. Structural work, elevated access, material handling, and the coordination of multiple trades can introduce hazards that must be continually evaluated.
Fall protection is one important part of this process.
Effective management of elevated work requires careful assessment of exposure, appropriate equipment selection, worker training, and coordination with the construction sequence. Engineered fall-protection systems can support these efforts when their application is properly planned and their installation and use follow manufacturer requirements.
For contractors committed to proactive safety management, the broader objective is to make hazard recognition and preventive measures an established part of everyday operations.
Landry/French’s commitment to improvement extends beyond individual projects. Its stated values emphasize learning from experience, avoiding complacency, and empowering employees to make decisions that strengthen the organization.
These principles have practical importance for construction safety. Procedures must remain relevant as projects advance, and lessons learned in the field should inform future planning.
By combining professional construction management with a people-first culture, Landry/French demonstrates how organizational responsibility and effective safety practices can reinforce one another.

Safety Pole recognizes the importance of construction organizations that make hazard prevention, worker training, and responsible field practices central to their operations.
Engineered fall protection is most effective when incorporated into a broader safety strategy—one supported by appropriate planning, proper installation, trained personnel, and consistent oversight.
Safety Pole is built and refined through real-world use—on active jobsites, by crews who depend on it every day. The most meaningful improvements to our system come directly from conversations with the people using it in the field.
As part of our Rebuild. Reset. Re-Engage. initiative, we’re reconnecting with partners who are willing to share their experience—whether through direct feedback, a conversation with our team, or, when appropriate, a deeper collaboration.
For some partners, that collaboration takes the form of a case study video, an interview, or a written feature that highlights how Safety Pole is being used on real jobsites. For others, it’s simply a chance to exchange insights and help us continue improving how safety is planned, implemented, and supported.
If you’re using Safety Pole today, we invite you to share your experience below. Your perspective helps guide what comes next.
