6-1.3 Mailer Responsibilities for Safety

The mailer is responsible for obeying all applicable Postal Service and OSHA regulations while on Postal Service premises. Under no circumstances will Postal Service personnel or a mailer unload a vehicle that Postal Service management determines to be defective or a threat to the safety and well-being of any person.

Defective equipment must be immediately removed from Postal Service premises and refused further entry until it has been repaired. The drop shipment coordinator notifies the mailer in writing of the defective vehicle. If the unload process has been completed before the defects are realized, indicate the defects in the Comments section of the Daily Appointment Tracking Sheet and on PS Form 8125 (if presented), and attach a copy of the PS Form 8125 (if presented) to the written notification sent to the mailer. Also, record the defects in eMIR.
