Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Postal Service has an obligation to provide its employees with a safe and healthful place to work. The Postal Service proactively meets its obligations to the Act by implementing policies, procedures, special teams, and reporting tools for workplace violence at facilities. The established zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence outlines no employee should have to work in an atmosphere of fear and intimidation and the organization will address every threat or act of inappropriate behavior with an immediate and firm response. These threats or acts can result in corrective action up to removal from the Postal Service.  Our objective is to assess the effectiveness of the Postal Service’s Workplace Violence Prevention Program from fiscal year 2022 through 2024.
