Personal Information

Be on the Lookout!

Personally identifiable information (PII) can be used to identify, contact and locate individuals. Protect postal-related PII — employee, supplier and customer — from theft and misuse.
Safeguard PII located at your workstation or stored on your laptop computer and handheld device. Follow USPS information security requirements. Don’t copy, move or store PII on local hard drives, removable media or remote access technologies not related to your normal business activities without written management approval.

Learn more about keeping all postal PII protected against theft or misuse.

That’s smart business.

Retail Shipping

Assumptions Aren’t Always Accurate

Don’t assume you know what your customers’ mailing needs are — they can change. Your customer can make the decision on how quickly a mailpiece needs to be delivered. That’s why it’s so important to offer and explain our premier services.
Priority Mail Express offers guaranteed overnight delivery by noon or 3 p.m. (depending on zip code). It comes with up to $100 insurance and free tracking. Or there’s Priority Mail, with one-to-three-day delivery, free tracking and up to $50 insurance included.

Explaining service options to customers ensures USPS is meeting their changing needs.

And that’s smart business.

Form 300A

Check the stats.

OSHA requires employers with 10 or more employees to post a copy of OSHA’s Form 300A, which summarizes job-related injuries and illnesses recorded during the previous year. The summary must be displayed in a common area where notices to employees are usually posted. This happens each year between Feb. 1 and April 30. Employers, workers and OSHA use this information to evaluate the safety of a workplace, identify unsafe practices and conditions, and implement workplace policies and procedures to reduce and eliminate hazards.

OSHA recording resources and requirements are available on the MyHR page on the Blue intranet and from OSHA at https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/.

And that’s smart safety!

Tornado awareness

Tornadoes are destructive and potentially deadly.

Pay attention to weather alerts when conditions are ripe for the formation of tornadoes. Although twisters occur most frequently between April and July, they can happen throughout the year. The National Weather Service issues two types of alerts. A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for the development of funnel clouds and you should stay tuned. A warning means a tornado has been sighted or indicated on radar and you should seek shelter immediately.

If an alert is issued for your area, act quickly to save lives and reduce property damage.

And that’s smart safety!
