If offered, the Postal Service could possibly accept.
Under the gift acceptance authority, the Postal Service may accept gifts or donations of services or property, real or personal, if they’re deemed necessary or convenient in the transaction of our business.
To invoke this rule, a Vice President or Officer must submit a statement to the Ethics Office stating the business reason for accepting the gift from an outside source. The Ethics Office will then make the determination as to whether it’s appropriate under statutory authority.
Not accepting a prohibited gift from an outside source helps the Postal Service maintain its reputation as the most trusted federal agency.
Wear proper footwear to reduce slips, trips and falls, and ease strained muscles. Shoes need to provide adequate cushioning and take care of your arches. This helps reduce fatigue and enables you to do your job more safety and efficiently.
Supervisors should periodically check to ensure employees are wearing approved footwear.
And that’s smart safety!

Refer to Handbook EL-809, Guidelines for Area/ Local Joint Labor-Management Safety and Health Committees, for guidance and information. Joint labor-management safety and health committees must be established and function in accordance with collective-bargaining agreements.
Employee involvement in safety results in a safer, more productive Postal Service.
And that’s smart safety!
