Transport equipment

Postal employees use different types of transport equipment. Be sure to check all latches before loading or moving a container. Push containers from the swivel wheel end. Beware of obstacles and co-workers in your path. When loading or unloading a container, set the brake. Secure all containers you load onto vehicles with shoring bars or tow pins to prevent the load from shifting and rolling free during transport.

Following these procedures ensures the safe, secure and timely transport of mail.

And that’s smart safety!
