Employee Text Message Program · Guernsey-Ostergard Painting LLC · Last updated 31 October 2026
These terms cover the text message (SMS) program Guernsey-Ostergard Painting LLC operates for its own employees.
Who this is for
Current employees of Guernsey-Ostergard Painting LLC. We do not send text messages to customers, prospective employees or members of the public, and we do not obtain telephone numbers from any third party or purchased list.
What we send
- Weekly safety topic. The workplace safety subject each employee is required to read and acknowledge that week.
- Safety rule changes. Notice when a rule in our Accident Prevention Program changes, so that nobody meets a new requirement on a job site without having been told.
Every message contains a single-use link to read the material and record an acknowledgement. Washington State requires employers to hold safety meetings and document attendance (WAC 296-155-110); this is how we do it.
We do not send marketing or promotional messages on this program.
Message frequency
Typically one message per week. Additional messages are sent when a safety rule changes, which is infrequent.
Cost
Message and data rates may apply. Guernsey-Ostergard does not charge for these messages; any charge would come from your own mobile carrier under your own plan.
How to stop messages
Reply STOP to any message and we will send no more. You will receive one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed.
Opting out does not affect your employment. It does not remove the requirement to receive safety training and acknowledge it — Washington State requires both of us to do that — so if you opt out we will give you the same material on paper and take your signature there instead. Tell your foreman or the office if you would prefer paper from the start; you do not have to opt out by text to ask for it.
To start again, reply START, or ask the office.
Help
Reply HELP to any message for contact details, or contact the office directly using the details below.
Carrier support
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier and your handset, and we cannot guarantee it — which is why a missed message is never treated as a refusal to complete safety training, and why we follow up by other means.
Privacy
What we collect and what we do with it is set out in our Privacy Policy. In short: we record who was messaged, when, whether it was delivered, and the acknowledgement itself, for as long as our record-keeping obligations require. We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Changes
We will update this page when the program changes, and revise the date at the top.
