It speaks volumes even today! Our haircuts, our clothes, and some postal equipment may have changed, but as you can see from this Post Office Department poster, which was released in the late 1960s, lifting injuries were a hot topic — even back then! Today, USPS® is still experiencing large numbers of lifting and handling injuries. These injuries are not new phenomena; they have been around since the beginning of time. Did you know that 900,000 disabling back injuries occur each year in the United States? More than half of these injuries are in direct correlation with people trying to lift objects. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), lifting and carrying are “power jobs” and it is very easy for back damage to occur. Once it does, it can take a long time for the person to return to normal activities, including work. In the Postal Service’s plants, there have been over 2,000 accidents year-to-date (FY10) related to handling and lifting. His- torically, handling and lifting have been two of the leading causes of accidents in our mail processing facilities. Most of us ignore our backs until they give us a painful reminder of our carelessness. People who take care of their backs are far less likely to run into problems. Lifting large or heavy objects is not the only way you can injure your back. Many back injuries result from incorrect lifting of lighter objects. Unless you use safe techniques, picking up even a small article can cause a painful injury. There are several things that can be done to prevent injuries from incorrect lifting, for example: Before you lift, you should size up the load, so you will know how much weight you are lifting before you attempt to lift it. If a load is too heavy for one person, a co-worker should be asked to assist. A helper who is around the same height will make the lift easier to do. When two or more people are involved in a lift, decide ahead of time who is the team leader. This person is responsible for giving commands such as “lift,” “move”, and “set down.” Coordination of movements will prevent sudden starts or stops and changes in weight distribution. Next, plan your route. Make sure you know where you are going with the object and check the route for obstacles. If you have to walk quite a distance with your load, pre-plan spots where you can easily stop for a short rest. But a better solution is to use a hand-truck or pallet mover for long distances, if you know how to properly operate one. No one is immune to handling injuries! Handling and Lifting Tips Lift the Object Right Get close to the article and center your body over your feet. Bend your knees, and keep your spine straight. Grasp the package using your full palm, not just your fingers. Use your stronger leg muscles to push yourself upright. As you start the lift, raise your eyes and look straight ahead. This will keep your spine in correct alignment. Alternatively, as you start the lift, tuck in your chin so your neck and head are in a straight line with your back. That helps keep your spine straight and firm. It is not necessary, however, to force your chin against your chest. To pick up an awkward object, such as a sack, bend at the knees and grasp it at opposite corners. Gradually straighten your legs and push yourself up. Remember to hold the load close to your body and at about waist height, and do not twist. Twisting is one of the most common causes of back injury. Carry the Object Right Keep the load close to your body to exert less force on your back. Make sure you can see clearly over the load. If your vision is blocked, you may trip and fall. Always move your feet rather than twisting your body to change directions. 4 postal bulletin 22295 (10-7-10) Cover Story Unload the Object Right Plan ahead for unloading. An ideal spot would be at waist height to prevent unnecessary bending. Take care to avoid crushing your hands when you release the weight. To unload, crouch down and use your thigh muscles to lower the object. Keep your back straight, and hold the article close to your body while unloading. Handle Awkward Loads Right To retrieve an item from deep within a box or drawer, you can modify the basic lift procedure. Get as close as you can to the object, squat slightly, and place your bent knees against the box or drawer before you lift. A similar procedure is the safe way to lift heavy items from a car trunk. Handle Small Loads Right For light, small objects in the bottom of a deep container, you can use the “golfer’s lift”. Swing one leg straight out behind you, flex the other knee, and use one hand to balance yourself on the edge of the container and the other hand to pick up the load. Sudden lifting or releasing of loads can cause stress to the spine and back muscles. Always lift, move, and lower with smooth motions. Do not fight to recover a dropping object or lost load. Get out of its way and let it fall. The NSC says power warm-ups — slow stretches before starting each shift — helps workers ease into their workday and avoid back strain. Exercises which stretch and warm up your legs and back will improve your strength and flexibility. Overconfidence in one’s ability and lack of knowledge about lifting hazards are common causes of back injuries. It is easy to misjudge your strength and suffer a serious injury. Following the recommendations above will help reduce your risk of injury. Remember that safe lifting is just as important at home as at work, for both you and your family. Show your family mem- bers the safe way to lift, so that they can avoid injury from lifting or handling materials at home or at their workplaces. — Safety and Environmental Performance Management, Employee Resource Management, 10-7-10 Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates postal bulletin 22295 (10-7-10) 5 Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates Manuals DMM Revision: Labeling List Changes Effective October 4, 2010, we revised Labeling List(s) Labeling Lists L001, L002, L003, L004, L005, L007, L008, L009, L011, L000 General Use L201, L601, L605, L606, L607, and L801 of the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic ***** Mail Manual (DMM®) to reflect changes in mail processing L001 5-Digit Scheme—Periodicals, Standard Mail, operations.

  • GGD-82-89 Replacing Post Offices with Alternative Services
    c !/9%4 BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Chairman, Post Office And Civil Service Committee House Of Representatives OF Tt-iEUNITED STATES Replacing Post Offices With Alternative Services: A Debated But Unresolved Issue The Postal Service could save between ~ $125 and $150 million annually by 1990 if it replaced about 7,000 limited mail service post offices with publicly acceptable alter- native mail services. The lengthy and complex post office re- placement process, however, discourages the Postal Service from realizing these savings. If the Congress chooses to maintain the current replacement process, GAO pro- vides recommendations to strengthen and streamline supporting policies and prac- tices. GAO also discusses some alternative ~ courses of action should the Congress wish to consider changing the current process. 119464 GAO/GGD-8289 SEPTEMBER 2,1982 Request for copies of GAO reports should be sent to: U.S. General Accounting Off ice Document Handling and Information Services Facility P.O.

  • A Postal Primer: the Basics and Pivotal Issues Affecting the Future of the United States Postal Service
    A Postal Primer: The Basics and Pivotal Issues Affecting the Future of the United States Postal Service April 16, 2019 www.21stcenturypostal.org A POSTAL PRIMER: THE BASICS AND PIVOTAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE KEY TAKEAWAYS The Postal Service is self-sustaining: it receives no taxpayer dollars, deriving its revenues from postage. The Postal Regulatory Commission serves as a check on its rate, classification and some other powers. USPS serves every citizen and business everywhere, every day: 158 million addresses. It is a crucial service in Rural America, and around the country. It delivered more than 146 billion letters, cards, periodicals, packages, prescriptions and much more last year alone. It employs about 500,000 career and 635,000 total personnel, including 100,000 veterans, and is the beating heart of a $1.4 trillion industry. It is in serious financial trouble in part because its core mailing business is steadily diverting online. But its package segment has grown dramatically, generating $7 billion toward overhead, nearly 25% of the total. Notwithstanding the speedy erosion of its mail base, USPS has still managed to cut costs and operate in the black over the past few years. The losses are caused by a statutory obligation to “prefund” its retiree healthcare to 100% - virtually alone among public or private sector entities. Integrating the 20% or so of its retirees who do not now subscribe into Medicare, as laid out in bipartisan legislation in the previous two congresses, would eliminate that obligation. All such retirees are eligible for Medicare, and have paid Medicare taxes for decades.

The Postal Service has been under attack for years by the private corporations and from within the management ranks. However, the USPS continues to make cuts that not only hurt the Postal brand, but it also deters people from utilizing its services, casting doubt that the first-class letter is dead, when in fact the USPS depends on its revenue. The USPS believes it’s more important to build on the goal to provide services for the big corporate mailers, not the individual customer. The attacks include: Cutting hours, closing post offices, closing mail processing plants, suspending post offices indefinitely, and trying to degrade postal work, utilizing cluster boxes, cutting service standards, by outsourcing work to retail stores, and killing the sanctity of the mail.

  • Post Office and Retail Postal Facility Closures: Overview and Issues for Congress
    Post Office and Retail Postal Facility Closures: Overview and Issues for Congress Kevin R. Kosar Analyst in American National Government July 23, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40719 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Post Office and Retail Postal Facility Closures: Overview and Issues for Congress Summary In common parlance, “post office” is used to refer to a wide variety of facilities operated by the United States Postal Service (USPS). In administrative practice, the USPS differentiates among several categories of postal facilities. Regarding one category of its facilities, the USPS announced in May 2009 that it was considering the closure of 3,105 of its 4,851 post office branches and stations. These facilities provide the public with postal services, such as stamp sales, post office boxes, and package shipping. Since the original announcement, the USPS has indicated that the number of possible closures may be more than 3,200. This report provides (1) information on this recent announcement; (2) historical data on the number of post offices and other retail postal facilities; (3) an explanation of the legal authorities relevant to retail postal facility closures; (4) a review of the retail postal facility closure processes, including data on public appeals of closures, and H.R. 658’s proposed alterations to the processes; and (5) a concluding discussion that suggests observations and possible issues for Congress. The USPS has cited financial duress as a reason for its proposed closure of up to 64% of its 4,851 post office branches and stations.

    PUBLISHED SINCE MARCH 4, 1880 PB 22026, June 15, 2000 June 2000 DISTRICT MANAGERS, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SALES POSTMASTERS SUBJECT: Promoting the Legends of Baseball Stamps Through the U.S. commemorative stamp program, the Postal Service continues to help preserve traditions that speak to the heart of America and to honor those people, places, and events that impact our lives. With the issuance of the Legends of Baseball stamps, we have a wonderful opportunity to demon- strate our role as a community leader by coordinating local events to help celebrate one of our coun- try’s greatest traditions and America’s favorite pastime. Over the past year, the Postal Service has partnered with Major League Baseball to develop this pane of stamps honoring 20 of baseball’s greatest players. The events surrounding the issuance of these stamps will give our customers, employees, friends, and family an opportunity to share in the pride and glory of All-Star Week this year. The stamps will be issued July 6 in conjunction with the “Club MLB Road Show” at International Plaza in Atlanta. In addition to sales that day at Atlanta post offices and at the Club MLB Road Show, the stamps will be sold at a Postal Service retail booth at the John Hancock All-Star FanFest July 7–11. The week’s festivities end with the 71st All-Star Game at Turner Field.

  • Keeping Post Offices Public: Three Case Studies on the Disposal and Rehabilitation of Historic Post Offices
    KEEPING POST OFFICES PUBLIC: THREE CASE STUDIES ON THE DISPOSAL AND REHABILITATION OF HISTORIC POST OFFICES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Katherine Victoria Coffield January 2013 © 2013 Katherine Victoria Coffield ABSTRACT The United States Postal Service (USPS) plans to close thousands of its facilities over the next decade in response to a steady decline in patronage and severe budget deficits. Many of the buildings under review for closure and sale are historic post offices. These venerable civic structures often boast distinctive architectural designs and occupy prominent downtown locations. Given their favorable characteristics, historic post offices deemed to be excess by the federal government are prime candidates for redevelopment. Their closure and sale raises the important question of how these buildings can best be reused in the future. Local post offices are icons of civic culture and a source of community pride. Traditionally, the buildings acted as civic and social centers. Everyone visited the post office on a regular basis to retrieve their mail, making it a place to meet neighbors and share news. Post offices continue to serve as true democratic spaces that allow equal access to all citizens and foster a greater sense of community identity. They are special places that revive poignant memories in the hearts of many. Optimally, historic post offices that are declared surplus will remain public amenities due to their vibrant civic legacy. Keeping Post Offices Public examines how the disposal and rehabilitation of historic post offices for public purposes enables their civic legacy to be preserved.
