Facility Visitors

Escort Your Visitors

Notify Postal Service security (where there’s security) or local management when you’re expecting a visitor. The visitor will be provided a badge to wear while in the building (when possible). You’ll be called to escort your visitor to his or her destination.
Don’t provide your badge to a visitor to gain entry to the building. Don’t let your visitor wander the facility.

Keeping our people and workplaces secure is a USPS priority.

And that’s smart business.

Borrowing Postal Funds

Is it worth your postal career?

Borrowing money from a cash drawer and repaying it at a later date is a misuse of government property.
Likewise, taking cash from the sale of a money order, and reporting the sale of the money order at a later date when you are able to pay it back is also a misuse of government property.
The Inspector General’s audits routinely uncover this type of conduct, and employees involved are often removed.

Keeping cash in the drawer and not in your pocket is smart business – for the Postal Service and for you.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more guidance.

Sun safety

Sunscreen becomes you.

Take steps to reduce your risk of skin cancer. Cover your skin as much as possible when working in the sun. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, pants, sunglasses with UV protection and a hat.

Wear sunscreen rated with an SPF of 30 or above to help protect your skin year-round.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lifetime. Following these tips will help prevent skin damage when working outdoors.

And that’s smart safety!

PIT driving

Make room for vroom.

Drivers of powered industrial trucks (PIT) are responsible for working safely. A PIT travel path should be separated from where people walk. Instruct employees to never walk beneath raised forks — even if there’s no load. Operators should be aware of blind spots and choose the proper safety devices to improve visibility. Do not use headsets while walking or driving, or working near moving machinery. Always inspect a PIT before using it.

Supervisors should conduct driving observations of PIT operators using PS Form 4584-P, Observation of Driving Practices – Powered Industrial Trucks. Safety procedures should be reviewed with PIT operators at least twice a year.

And that’s smart safety!
