SAFETY FIRST

As we move into Fall, changing weather and shorter daylight hours can introduce new safety challenges—on the job and at home.

Jobsite Awareness:
Fall can bring foggy mornings, wet surfaces, and unpredictable temperature swings. Make sure your PPE is weather-appropriate, inspect tools and equipment for moisture-related wear, and stay alert and make sure all work areas are well-lit during early or late shifts when visibility is reduced.

Electrical Safety at Home:
With cooler temps, many people start using space heaters or electric blankets. Remind your family to check cords for damage, avoid overloading outlets, and never run extension cords under rugs. A quick home electrical checkup can prevent serious hazards.

Community Connection:
Fall is still hurricane season in the Gulf and snow prep season up north. Encourage your team to review emergency plans, stock up on essentials, and help neighbors who may need assistance. Safety isn’t just a jobsite priority—it’s a community value.

Let’s stay proactive, prepared, and protective—wherever we’re working or living.

Drug Testing Quiz

Think you know what could trip up a drug test? Test your luck with this quarter’s quiz rather than your next drug test!

Hemp Drinks - "If it just says 'hemp-infused', it's always safe since it comes in professional packaging."

CBD Gummies - "CBD isn't tested for, so you can never fail a drug test from it."

MRO Process – I should answer the phone, cooperate, and share information with the doctor who is evaluating my recent drug test.

Poppyseed Bagels – whether it is bagel or muffin it will definitely get me fired for opiates."

Alcohol - "As long as it's legal, it's fine to have some on the job."

Vapes - "All vapes are safe since they're just vapor."

Prescription Medication - "I should not take someone else’s prescription even if I know we have the same ailment”

Takeaway

In our drug-free workplace, it’s not about whether something is trendy or “legal” — it’s about whether it affects safety.  When in doubt, skip it.

Our payroll team is excellent!  Our contracts take us to multiple states across the country, each state along with their local tax jurisdictions have their own set of rules and regulations, our customers often have specific contract requirements, we have international worker regulations – these are only a few of the compliance scenarios our payroll department handles.  Yet each week without fail for 36 years they get payroll out and on time for 3,000+ associates.  They are dedicated to the company and to the associates.” – Laura Boudle, Controller
