Financial Reporting

Do it Daily

Just as an apple a day helps keep you healthy, daily reporting of financial activity and stamp accountability is required to measure the health of the organization. A PS Form 1412, Daily Financial Report, is necessary to help monitor, plan and forecast the business needs of the Postal Service. Daily reporting provides transparency to ensure accurate financial statements.
Daily financial reporting lets the Postal Service handle our financial responsibilities to pay employees, vendors, manage our investment portfolio and operate a successful business.

Daily financial reporting lets USPS know where its finances stand.

And that’s smart business.

Electrical safety

Don’t overlook the overload.

How many times have you seen a surge protector that’s been overloaded or even has another surge protector or extension cord plugged into it? This is called daisy chaining and increases the potential for creating a short in the outlet and causing a fire.

Eliminating daisy chains will help prevent fires caused by overloaded electrical outlets.

And that’s smart safety!

Fire safety

Free-range sprinklers are essential.

Furniture and tall stacks of materials can block the range of fire sprinklers, reducing their effectiveness in the event of an emergency. Don’t place objects higher than 18 inches below sprinkler heads. Never store items along an emergency exit route. Don’t prop a fire door open, with something like a garbage can or chair — that creates a significant fire hazard.

Keeping fire doors closed and sprinklers clear can help save lives and reduce fire damage, as well as the financial costs from OSHA fines.

And that’s smart safety!
