Zero tolerance

No employee should have to work in an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. If you’ve been threatened or believe you’re in a potentially unsafe situation that involves a co-worker or supervisor — or if you’re experiencing a domestic violence situation that could pose a threat in the workplace — notify your immediate supervisor, respective threat assessment team (TAT) and the Postal Inspection Service.

There are TATs at headquarters and in the areas and every district office to respond to threats and potential violence. TAT members are trained to assess the danger of threats, whether implied or direct.

USPS is committed to fostering a positive and safe work environment that’s free of threats, fear and violence for every employee.

And that’s smart safety!

Crosswalk safety

Always yield to people in a crosswalk. When approaching, reduce your speed and be prepared to stop. When stopped, allow enough room between your vehicle and the crosswalk so other drivers can see the pedestrians too. Don’t pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk — they’re waiting for people to cross and making sure the way is clear.

Look out for pedestrians at all times. As a driver, it’s your responsibility. Pedestrians — especially children — aren’t always where they should be or where you’d expect them to be.  Be vigilant to prevent financial liability to the USPS as a result of a pedestrian injury or death.

And that’s smart safety!
