Campaign Buttons

Leave Your Campaign Buttons at Home

Wearing a partisan political button or t-shirt at work is political activity, and it violates the Hatch Act.
Such items will offend some of our customers and may affect their shipping decisions.

Keeping your political views to yourself is smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more information about the Hatch Act.

Customer Information

Protect Customer Information

Keep customer information private, and use it only for postal purposes.
Don’t disclose customers’ business operations or plans. It could result in legal action against the Postal Service.

The Postal Service wants to preserve customers’ trust and avoid costly litigation.

And that’s smart business.

OSHA records

Trust but verify.

The OSHA recordkeeping review is designed to verify that processes are in place to protect USPS from proposed OSHA recordkeeping violations and citations. These occur when employee work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities are not properly recorded and updated in a timely manner. Incorrect OSHA recordkeeping is the fifth most frequent violation for the Postal Service.

District Safety and Health and Resource management staff should conduct reviews monthly. The district manager, plant manager and/or lead official should be notified about the review, its purpose and subsequent findings.

OSHA recordkeeping reviews ensure accurate employee health and safety records, and reduce OSHA fines paid by USPS.

And that’s smart safety!
