For National Safety Month, Postmarks is recognizing safe offices and employees as much as possible.
The following was submitted by Roswitha J. Sparks, the Postmaster of Weaver, Alabama:
The employees of the Weaver Post Office have worked over 1500 days accident free. While all aspects of safety are important, the one that concerns us the most is the safety of children on our routes. A Best Practice habit that Carrier Alice Smith shared with our group is this: when she sees children in a yard where she is about to deliver mail, even if she is only stopping at the mail box, she counts heads. Before she pulls away from the box, she accounts for each child who was in the yard when she approached. Habits like that and following the rules about vehicle, driving safety, and work room safety are the ways to stay safe.
