What is open enrollment & why is it important?
Open enrollment is a specific time period when you can freely enroll in or make changes to your medical, dental and other insurance benefits. Typically, you have to wait for a “qualifying life event” (like getting married or having a baby) to make changes to your insurance plan. Think of open enrollment like a grace period that allows you to make changes mid-year. In other words…open enrollment is the best time to adjust your benefits so they are the best fit for you!
Open enrollment is going on now through June 30th.
To add or change benefits, please contact Human Resources right away.

Toolbox Tips: Ladder Safety
Falls are one of the leading causes of injuries on the job. Take extra time to ensure ladders are safe across your job site.
- Do not use makeshift ladders, and inspect the ladder before use.
- Never use a ladder that has broken or missing rungs or other defects.

For additional safety protocol to avoid slips, trips and falls, contact your safety managers.
