Sustainability II

What if you had to pay the Postal Service’s electric bill?

You would encourage employees to do all they can to conserve electricity and reduce the bill!

You can help conserve energy by taking these small steps:

Turn off lights when leaving an empty room
Replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs
Replace standard and halogen bulbs with CFLs
Activate the energy-saving features of office equipment
Unplug battery chargers when not in use
Use timers on lighting
Switch off equipment when not in use

Small steps can lead to big savings.

Conserving electricity saves the Postal Service money, and that’s SMART BUSINESS!

Never plug any personal devices into a Postal Service network or computer. This includes cell phones, tablets, fitness trackers and other Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth enabled devices, or devices that use a USB cable.

Similarly, don’t plug USPS-issued devices into computers or other devices at home.

And that’s smart business!

Desk chair ergonomics

If the sit fits, take a seat.

When working at a desk, adjust your chair so it’s comfortable. Sit with your body and head erect. Your upper arms should be vertical and your lower arms comfortably horizontal. Your wrists should be on an even line with your forearms. Keep feet flat and thighs horizontal to provide additional support for feet and legs.

Ergonomic postures can prevent musculoskeletal injuries that could result in lost work days or lost productivity.

And that’s smart safety!

Head protection

Heads up!

Head protection is required for employees who work in areas or at tasks where there is potential for head injury. Risks include falling objects, striking the head against low, stationary objects, bumping the head against a fixed object, accidental head contact with electrical hazards and any other tasks that pose a risk of head injury.

USPS ensures protective headwear complies with the American National Standard for Personnel Protection — Protective Headwear for Industrial Workers.

And that’s smart safety!

For additional information or guidance, contact your safety office.
