Serving Those Who Serve

Military Duty

Employees deployed to military duty have certain rights.
Make sure you’ve completed the training regarding the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
Consult Human Resources when you have a question.

Complying with USERRA saves the Postal Service time and money.

And that’s smart business.

I could drive there in my sleep

Don’t go there.

More than a third of drivers report falling asleep behind the wheel at some point in their lives, according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Drowsy drivers have slower reaction times, vision impairment, judgment lapses and delays in processing information. They could lose control of a vehicle in a fraction of a second.

Planning to drive a long distance? Get enough rest the night before. If possible, travel during daylight, alternate drivers and take frequent breaks. Avoid alcohol and medications that cause drowsiness. And when you feel sleepy, find a safe place to pull over and rest.

And that’s smart safety.

Mosquito control

A bite not taken is better

Protect yourself and your family against mosquito bites. Repair and use screens on windows and doors. Use air conditioning. Get rid of standing water where mosquitos breed. Wear an insect repellent registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (except on children younger than 2 months). Cover up outside with long-sleeved shirts and pants.

Taking these steps can help you avoid mosquito bites that could spread diseases.

And that’s smart safety.

For additional information or guidance, contact your safety office.
