Collection Boxes

Make Room for More Mail

Be sure collection boxes are checked regularly, especially at larger facilities and during times of heavy use, such as Christmas, Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day.
An overflowing box is bad for our brand and does not protect the sanctity of the mail.

Timely collections help keep mail secure and provide the service customers pay for and expect.

And that’s smart business.

Enter and exit through assigned doors. Don’t leave security doors unlocked or propped open. Don’t lend your security badge or entry card to others. Don’t allow nonemployees to enter the workplace with you. Don’t bring packages from strangers into the work area.

PIT driving

Make room for vroom.

Drivers of powered industrial trucks (PIT) are responsible for working safely. A PIT travel path should be separated from where people walk. Instruct employees to never walk beneath raised forks — even if there’s no load. Operators should be aware of blind spots and choose the proper safety devices to improve visibility. Do not use headsets while walking or driving, or working near moving machinery. Always inspect a PIT before using it.

Supervisors should conduct driving observations of PIT operators using PS Form 4584-P, Observation of Driving Practices – Powered Industrial Trucks. Safety procedures should be reviewed with PIT operators at least twice a year.

And that’s smart safety!

For additional information or guidance, contact your safety office.
