Supervisors must conduct annual safety inspections on all parcel lockers, neighborhood delivery and collection box units, collection boxes and relay boxes. Check for corrosion, absence of bolts in any mounts, cracks or other deficiencies. Remove any defective unit from service and have it repaired immediately. Keep a log detailing dates and results of inspections.
By conducting these safety inspections, supervisors ensure employee safety and security of our customers’ mail.
And that’s smart safety!

Shut off the engine before fueling a vehicle. While you’re filling the tank don’t smoke or use a cell phone. Smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of gasoline pumps or gasoline storage tanks. “No smoking” signs should be posted in plain view of all employees working near gasoline.
Following these procedures will prevent employee injury or death, and keep postal vehicles from being damaged by fire.
And that’s smart safety.
