Revision to PS Form 1768: Effect of Obsoleting PS Form 4582, Operator’s Record
(Driver Jacket)

Effective immediately, PS Form 4582, Operator’s Record, also known as the “Driver Jacket,” is obsolete for all new-hire drivers. The form was out of date and needed to be aligned with current business requirements and Postal Service™ policies. (See related article in “Forms,” on page 16.)

Installation heads are responsible for updating and maintaining all PS Forms 4582 in their possession. Each Driver Jacket contains records and information about an individual employee’s driver training. The PS Forms 4582 must be maintained until the employee’s separation and made available, upon request, to attorneys at the National Tort Center.

The following revision to PS Form 1768, Safe Driver Award Committee Decision, is effective immediately.

[Revise “Accident Review” to read as follows:]

Accident Review. All accidents should be reviewed by the installation’s designated official and recorded on PS Form 1768, which will be maintained at the employee’s duty sta­tion. Decisions should be rendered in line with the definition of a preventable accident as described here. Prior to ren­dering a decision, the accident must be discussed with the driver involved as required on PS Form 1768. When exten­uating circumstances make it difficult to reach a decision and an additional opinion is necessary, the accident report and additional required documentation may be submitted to the District Safe Driver Awards Committee. If necessary, the District Committee may submit the case to the Area Office by following the procedures outlined in pages 5 and 6 of the March 1994, Safe Driver Award Rules Handbook.
