Postal Service Accident Safety Policies and Procedures – Great Lakes Area

We visited 14 facilities in the Great Lakes Area, and reviewed all 26,051 accidents, including all 95 serious accidents for FYs 2016 and 2017. We also reviewed employee participation in the Counseling At Risk Employees (CARE) program, which was established to engage employees in accident prevention using accident statistics, root cause analyses, and action plans. Our objective was to determine whether the Postal Service adhered to safety policies and procedures related to accidents in the Great Lakes Area.
