FOOD AND COCKTAILS PROVIDED BY

For years, our Members have been pouring in by the busload to get hands-on safety training in our state-of-the-art safety training center and safety classroom. As business ramped up and construction companies expanded to jobs out of state, it became harder for many of our Members to make the trip to TBG.

That’s why we’ve expanded our ability to bring safety training directly to you — growing our fleet of mobile resources to meet Members where they are. In addition to the TBG Safety Trailer, which can conduct indoor and outdoor hands-on training sessions as a mobile training command center, we’ve added the all-new TBG Safety Van. This new vehicle allows us to deliver the same advanced, hands-on training services more easily and efficiently to even more job sites across the region.

From fall protection and confined space training to tool safety and beyond, our Safety Trailer and Safety Van give your employees access to the most advanced and up-to-date safety services, no matter where they work.

Safety is always our number one concern. Our Members saw 197 fewer accidents this past year compared to the previous year — and we’re determined to keep that number moving in the right direction. With the Safety Trailer and Safety Van on the road, we’re advancing our commitment to helping our Members work safer, smarter and more successfully.

TBG Dividend Announcement

It is my pleasure to announce that for the 2nd time in as many years, TBG will be distributing a dividend to our Members. On July 27, 2017 the TBG Board of Directors approved the first dividend distribution for the 2013 fund year and the second distribution for the 2012 fund year. We are very proud to be in the financial position to pay a dividend for the second year in a row. Our regulator has approved the dividend distribution so we now can announce it publicly.

The ability to pay this dividend is mainly the result of a couple of factors. First is the support of our Members and their commitment to working safe over the years. Another is TBG’s dedication to controlling workers’ compensation costs through safety services training, proactive claims management, and a dedicated nurse care line.

Under the guidelines of our dividend policy, the total amount that will be paid for those two years is $1,135,914. The payment to eligible Members will be recalculated in April of 2018 with updated membership and claims information as of 12-31-2016 and paid at the end of April 2018. If your renewal is 4-1 or prior, you will receive an estimate of your dividend with your renewal quote.

To qualify for a dividend, a Member has to meet three basic criteria:

1. You were a Member of the fund during the year the dividend is based on.
2. You must be a Member on the date the dividend is paid.
3. Your loss ratio must be less than the breakeven loss ratio for the fund year the dividend is paid from.

Thank you for your support and loyalty to The Builders Group and for helping us make workers’ comp work. Together with your referrals we can continue to enjoy a return on our investment for years to come.

Regards,

Stu Thompson, CEO
