Package Delivery

Handle With Care!

Never throw a package when delivering the mail. It’s not professional, and it’s not a positive image for the Postal Service.
Many homes have security cameras, and customers can and will post videos of incidents on social media or give them to the media.

Customers expect us to act professionally and treat each package as if it were our own. Delivering packages with care will help us keep our customers.

And that’s smart business.

Protecting Your Postal Email

Go Ahead, Be Paranoid — Online

Be cautious of suspicious email senders, contents, or attachments. Someone might be trying to gain access to the information stored in your email account or on your desktop.
Take precautions:
- Assess the sender — make sure you recognize the sender’s name or email address.
- Check for errors — mistakes in grammar or spelling should heighten your suspicion.
- Question attachments — consider what you’re opening (.pdf, .jpg, .doc, .xls, .exe) and make sure it’s from a reliable source.

Protecting your email activity is one way to secure the information stored on your USPS device and help prevent data breaches that harm the reputation of our organization.

And that’s smart business.

Fire prevention

Create a fire-free zone.

Regularly inspect all fire extinguishers. Keep work areas clear of debris and trash. Designate no-smoking areas and enforce no-smoking rules. Store flammable fuels and materials in approved fire cabinets. Check wiring, cords and electrical tools for defects and proper grounding. Make sure extension cords aren’t placed under carpets. Don’t plug extension cords or portable heaters into surge protectors.

Knowing how to eliminate fire hazards will help decrease the chances of a fire.

And that’s smart safety!

Personal headsets

Stay tuned in for safety.

Employees may use personal portable headsets or earbuds only while seated or stationary, and only when using a headset or earbuds won’t interfere with performance of duties or constitute a safety or health hazard. Use only approved equipment for noise protection. Don’t use headsets or earbuds while walking or driving, or working near moving machinery.

Following these procedures can reduce accidents due to not hearing “it.”

And that’s smart safety!
