Broussard, Louisiana
Sparrows has entered into a working agreement with NSL America to provide training in Broussard, Louisiana where we installed a 50ft hydraulic box boom crane for training purposes.

In partnership with NSL America, a “crane specific” fall protection course was developed to ensure that workers are getting the proper techniques of fall protection when working on cranes.
