Employee Health Issues

Privacy, Please

Just because an employee tells you about a health issue doesn’t mean the employee wants everyone to know about it – and we have an obligation to keep private health information private.
Do not discuss employees’ health issues with anyone who doesn’t need to know.

Protecting the privacy of employees’ health information is the law.

Respecting employees’ privacy also contributes to a positive work environment.

And that’s smart business.

Encryption Policies

Encrypt or not to Encrypt

Did you know that some information commonly collected from customers is considered “sensitive” and must be encrypted?
Common sensitive data elements include, but are not limited to, personal email addresses and a cell phone number that has a name collected at the same time.

Safekeeping of sensitive information is required by Postal Service regulations.

And that’s smart business.

OSHA regulations

It’s the clause that counts.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act’s general duty clause requires employers to provide a workplace that’s free from recognized hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm. OSHA standards are built on this clause and focus on specific workplace hazards and ways to protect employees.

Compliance with OSHA standards helps keep employees safe — and prevents the USPS from having to pay unnecessary fines.

And that’s smart safety!

Rollaway/runaway

Avoid the road not taken.

Rollaway/runaway accidents are always preventable. When parking vehicles, drivers must, place the vehicle in parking gear, set the parking brake, curb the wheels, turn off the engine and remove the key. When parking a vehicle uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb. When parking downhill, turn them into the curb.

Following these steps will eliminate damages and injuries caused when an uncontrolled vehicle hits something or someone.

And that’s smart safety!
