Safety & Security in Mail Services

As WOU’s representative to the Postal System, Mail Services values the campus’ (and our) health and safety when working with mail. Following the terrorist attacks in 2001, mail security was reinforced and an attitude of responsibility and vigilance has become standard for all couriers, carriers and mail centers. Below are some of the publications distributed by the US Post Office, as well as some policies that are WOU specific. Clicking on the picture will take you to the full, printable PDF document or poster.
