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.

Sense Something Nefarious?

If you suspect that security on your USPS-issued mobile device has been compromised, contact the Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT) at 866- 877-7247 or cybersafe@usps.gov.

Increasing awareness about information security at USPS helps safeguard employee and customer information, and reinforces our reputation as an organization that Americans trust.

And that’s smart business.

Fire prevention

Create a fire-free zone.

Regularly inspect all fire extinguishers. Keep work areas clear of debris and trash. Designate no-smoking areas and enforce no-smoking rules. Store flammable fuels and materials in approved fire cabinets. Check wiring, cords and electrical tools for defects and proper grounding. Make sure extension cords aren’t placed under carpets. Don’t plug extension cords or portable heaters into surge protectors.

Knowing how to eliminate fire hazards will help decrease the chances of a fire.

And that’s smart safety!

Personal headsets

Stay tuned in for safety.

Employees may use personal portable headsets or earbuds only while seated or stationary, and only when using a headset or earbuds won’t interfere with performance of duties or constitute a safety or health hazard. Use only approved equipment for noise protection. Don’t use headsets or earbuds while walking or driving, or working near moving machinery.

Following these procedures can reduce accidents due to not hearing “it.”

And that’s smart safety!
