Paycheck Accuracy

Take a Closer Look

Is there a mistake in your paycheck? Report any errors promptly.
If the amount of your paycheck is wrong, you’re liable for returning any overpayments. The sooner a mistake is discovered the better for you.

Accuracy of paychecks benefits both you and the Postal Service.

And that’s smart business.

Lockout/tagout

Don’t take a gamble.

Failing to comply with lockout/tagout (LOTO) and machine guarding procedures are consistently on OSHA’s top 10 violations list. OSHA penalties average thousands of dollars. Comprehensive LOTO and machine-guarding programs protect employees from energized equipment hazards and avoid costly OSHA violations.

Taking a proactive approach allows USPS to keep employees safe and minimize citations during inspections.

And that’s smart safety!

Dock plates

Strong enough to take it?

Make sure portable and powered dock plates (or bridge plates) can handle the load. Carrying capacity is plainly marked on plates, which are used for loading and unloading wheeled equipment from vehicles. Secure them in position either by anchoring or with devices that prevent slipping or sliding. When not in use, store and anchor them in an upright position.

Dock plates must be equipped with handholds, handles or other materials that aid in moving or repositioning them safely, as well as a high-friction surface to prevent slips.

And that’s smart safety!
