The postmaster general has made safety one of the primary goals of the United States Postal Service®. In 2008, more than 37,000 Americans died in motor vehicle accidents. According to the National Safety Council, most accidents are avoidable. Although it is impossible to estimate what this might mean in terms of unnecessary suffering, if only one accident can be prevented or one injury avoided, then the effort to do so is worthwhile.
The United States Postal Service is dedicated to a goal of zero accidents, and we know that our suppliers and their drivers are dedicated to this same goal. While the information contained in this handbook does not cover all possibilities, we believe it will be useful in reducing the potential for accidents.
