CFC Fundraising Events

Ethical Giving is the Point

If you want to hold a special Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) event, you should first talk to the Ethics Office.
It is OK to hold certain events during the CFC campaign if they are approved in advance. The main point of any CFC event is to generate interest in CFC.
As a result, cash contributions must not be accepted and events should be open to all even if they do not participate in CFC.

CFC events that encourage charitable donations without coercion result in a functional, stable work environment.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for guidance on CFC.

Defensive driving

Who knows what the other driver will do?

Motor vehicle accidents are a major source of serious personal injury and financial liability for USPS employees. Drive defensively. This goes beyond knowing the rules of the road and the basics of driving. The risk of collision is reduced by anticipating dangerous situations, hazardous conditions and the actions of others by practicing driving techniques like the two-second rule — keeping a safe distance behind the vehicle in front.

Driving defensively can save lives and reduce injuries and associated costs.

And that’s smart safety!

Tick bite prevention

Stick it to the tick.

Keep the bloodsucking pests away from your skin. Wear long pants, shirts and socks. Tuck your pant legs into your boots or consider a strip of tape where your pants and socks meet. You could use a repellent that can be applied to clothing. Check your clothes for ticks every day after work before going inside. Wash your work clothes in hot water and dry using high heat for at least one hour to kill any ticks you might have overlooked. Perform daily tick checks of your body. If you find a tick, remove it immediately with fine-tipped tweezers.

Following these precautions will protect you against tick bites.

And that’s smart safety!
