Facility Visitors

Escort Your Visitors

Notify Postal Service security (where there’s security) or local management when you’re expecting a visitor. The visitor will be provided a badge to wear while in the building (when possible). You’ll be called to escort your visitor to his or her destination.
Don’t provide your badge to a visitor to gain entry to the building. Don’t let your visitor wander the facility.

Keeping our people and workplaces secure is a USPS priority.

And that’s smart business.

FOIA: Discretionary Disclosure

Some Discretion is Allowed

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires the disclosure of records or documents, unless the information is protected from public disclosure by a statute.
Record custodians should disclose exempt information as a matter of discretion if that disclosure is not prohibited by law and would not cause any harm to the Postal Service. Under FOIA, this is called “discretionary disclosure.”
Uncertain whether records qualify for discretionary disclosure? Seek advice.

Making discretionary disclosures whenever possible promotes government transparency and strengthens relationships with customers. It also minimizes the risk of litigation.

And that’s smart business.

Smoke alarms

It’s the sound of survival.

Smoke alarms save lives. If there’s a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and smoke alarms give you time to get out. Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of your home. Test your smoke alarms every month. When a smoke alarm sounds, get outside — and stay outside. Replace all smoke alarms in your home every 10 years.

Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths happen because there are no smoke alarms or they don’t work. Having a working smoke alarm in a home cuts in half the chances of dying in a fire.

And that’s smart safety!

Traffic signals.

It’s not really optional.

Traffic signals.

It’s not really optional.

A yellow traffic light is warning you to slow down and get ready to stop — not step on the gas and speed through the intersection before it turns red. When you see a stop sign or a red light, just do it — stop!

Pay close attention to and obey stop signs and traffic lights.

And that’s smart safety!
