Handle All Mail With Care: It’s Our Business

Safeguard the Mail

Every day Postal Service employees deliver essential mail — including paychecks and lifesaving medication — to millions of people. Our customers depend on us.

All mail should be properly handled. If you have any questions about how to handle the mail, talk to your manager or direct supervisor.

Taking this small step maintains the Postal Service’s reputation as the most trusted government entity.

That’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics and Legal Compliance team (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more guidance.

Emergency Contact Information

Who Are We Going to Call?

Update your emergency contact information. Keep it current.
It’s good practice to provide a non-local friend or family member as an additional emergency contact.

Ensuring the safety of employees is a USPS priority. And it’s smart business.

OSHA records

Trust but verify.

The OSHA recordkeeping review is designed to verify that processes are in place to protect USPS from proposed OSHA recordkeeping violations and citations. These occur when employee work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities are not properly recorded and updated in a timely manner. Incorrect OSHA recordkeeping is the fifth most frequent violation for the Postal Service.

District Safety and Health and Resource management staff should conduct reviews monthly. The district manager, plant manager and/or lead official should be notified about the review, its purpose and subsequent findings.

OSHA recordkeeping reviews ensure accurate employee health and safety records, and reduce OSHA fines paid by USPS.

And that’s smart safety!
