Safety pledge

To ensure safety as a core value, postal management should pledge to:

• • Demonstrate a commitment to providing a safe work environment for my employees.
  • Participate in day to day safety activities. Take the necessary action to prevent accidents.
  • Provide safety training and educate my employees.
  • Investigate all accidents to determine root cause.
  • Encourage the reporting of hazards and act to address them.
  • Actively participate in joint safety and health committees.
  • Fully participate in the Counsel At Risk Employees (CARE) program.
  • Encourage participation in safety activities at all levels.
  • Never walk by an unsafe practice or hazard and say or do nothing.

When postal management promotes a culture of safety, employees get a greater understanding of the importance of working safely and reducing accidents and injuries.

And that’s smart safety!

Workplace housekeeping

“Your mother doesn’t work here so please clean up after yourself.” Such is the message, or similar words, often seen on signs in employee lunchrooms or work areas. Help save the ink and paper. Following good housekeeping practices is about being clean, neat and considerate of others.

And that’s smart safety.
