Special Delivery: Delivering Trust

Public service is a public trust.

Customers should have complete confidence in the integrity of the Postal Service. They rely on us to safely and timely deliver birthday gifts, paychecks, gift cards, prescription medication, and credit and debit cards.

Mail should be safely and securely handled – never stolen. Appropriately handle the mail.

Maintaining the integrity and trustworthiness of the Postal Service keeps customers coming back to us time and time again.

That’s just smart business.

Contact the Ethics and Legal Compliance team (ethics.help@usps.gov) for more guidance.

Prevent Mail Destruction

Prevent Mail Destruction

Help prevent mail destruction. Ensure new employees receive on-the-job training regarding proper mail delivery. Make sure all employees have the equipment and supplies needed to protect the sanctity of the mail.

Immediately investigate customer complaints and monitor mail in the Undeliverable Bulk Business Mail (UBBM) or that has been returned from the street.

By remaining attentive to potential signs of mail destruction, you can help protect the sanctity of the mail.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) with any questions.

Motorcycle accidents

Bikers thank you for looking.

What’s the single most dangerous situation for motorcyclists? Cars making left-hand turns. This accounts for 42 percent of all accidents involving a motorcycle and car. Usually, the turning car strikes a motorcycle going straight through an intersection, passing the car or trying to overtake the car. The motorcycle’s smaller size makes it less visible to the driver of the turning vehicle.

Motorcycle accidents don’t necessarily happen more frequently than other types of accidents. But they’re more likely to result in serious injury or death.

Being a defensive driver means looking out for motorcyclists — and all vehicles.

That’s smart safety!

When delivering mail, carriers encounter many different hazards, from bees in mailboxes to rotten and broken stairs. Always exercise care and report all hazardous conditions to your manager. Don’t risk getting hurt.

When you find something unsafe, submit PS Form 1767, Report of Hazard, Unsafe Condition or Practice.

For more information, refer to Handbook M41 City Delivery Carriers Duties and Responsibilities.

And that’s smart safety!
