SUBJECT: Workplace Security Poster 66

Enclosed is a copy of the new Poster 66 which is intended to remind postal employees about workplace security. It is the next step in the national security messaging campaign.

The poster reminds employees to wear their identification badges (ID), politely question those without ID, secure doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and identify and report security deficiencies. This poster should be placed in an area of high visibility to employees in your facility. The poster repeats the theme of the national security messaging campaign: "Workplace Security: It's Good Business and It's Personal."

The campaign reiterates existing postal policy on security. You are encouraged to give service talks to make sure your employees understand the message of the poster. For example, employees should know the proper method of approaching a stranger in the workplace. They should also be advised that locking doors does not mean impeding exit from a facility in case of emergency, or locking doors which must remain open to satisfy Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements.

Additional copies of Poster 66 can be ordered from the Topeka Material Distribution Center. Your continued support for the national security messaging campaign is appreciated.
