“Please be careful!”
“Have a safe ride!”
“Call me when you get there!”
“Be careful today at work!”
“See you tonight, be careful!”
“I love you, see you later!”
When we leave our homes each day,
we hear our loved ones send us off with a gesture of their love and concern.
Somewhere after we get to work, we forget what the important element of our
day: OUR SAFETY!
We confuse it with:
“How many sick calls?”
“Wonder if we make it back in
eight?”
“It’s a new route, and I don't
know it.”
The list is endless.
You've all said: “How about, I'll call you when I get out?”
“Oh, I can't talk now,” or “Call me back,” or “I really like my new ear piece,
smart phone, ipod etc.”
As a new South Florida District
Safety Team member, I am committed to making SAFETY what will bring you HOME to
your loved ones every day. I have the support of NALC Branch 1690 and the
Postal Service and will be diligently working on issues that concern your
safety.
We, as a team, inspect offices
that have a history of accidents and will identify, correct, and follow up on
situations of housekeeping, OSHA violations, carrier street concerns and much
more.
I am a carrier with 28 years of
service and 28 years of involvement in the NALC. YOUR SAFETY IS FIRST! The
proof is in the action, WE GET RESULTS!
Get off the phones! Wear your
seatbelt! Close your door! Turn off the vehicle when it’s not occupied! Stop at
intersections! Rubber bands and steering wheels will get your attention! Reward
yourself every day by having a SAFE DAY!
