Verify the Mail Before You Deliver It

Verify the Mail Before You Deliver It

Postal Service employees are entrusted with the sanctity and security of the mail.
Customers expect us to safely deliver their mail.
Ensure all mail is correct before you deliver it; verify the destination address to the delivery point.

Correct deliveries save the Postal Service time and money.

And that’s smart business.

. . . but I don’t feel like a criminal

Good to know the law

There’s something about “you” in the Privacy Act.

We all understand that the Privacy Act is an important law that protects an individual’s personal information. Failing to follow its requirements can expose the Postal Service to significant legal liability and harm our reputation. BUT, did you know that individual Postal Service employees can also be held criminally liable under the Privacy Act?

The Privacy Act provides that any officer or employee who willfully discloses Privacy Act protected information or improperly maintains a system of records containing that information can be found guilty of a misdemeanor and fined up to $5,000. In other words, if you know your actions are improper under the Privacy Act, and you proceed anyway, you’re committing a criminal offense.

Using proper procedures when handling personal information protects the Postal Service — and keeps YOU from inadvertently becoming a criminal.

And that’s smart business.

Any occupational illness or disease that results in the death of an employee.
Any accident involving non-employees that results in a fatality or the inpatient hospitalization of one or more persons.
Occupational accidents that result in the death of an employee or non-employee within six months of the date of the accident.
Any occupational injury to an employee or non-employee involving mutilation, amputation, or loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Occupational accidents involving property damage exceeding $100,000.
Any occupational accident of one or more employees that results in inpatient hospitalization due to chemical exposure.

And that’s smart safety!

Cyclist awareness

Beware the door zone.

If you’re parked at the curb and open your car door without first checking your mirrors, you risk “dooring” a passing cyclist. The bike rider could crash into the door or get knocked into traffic. Whenever you’re parked, check your mirrors to see if a bike is approaching before you open your door.

And that’s smart safety!
