Effective May 15, 2025, the Postal Service is revising Publication 45, Achieving a Violence-Free Workplace Together. USPS Workplace Violence Prevention Program provides employees with information and resources regarding the proper violence prevention and response measures. To achieve a violence-free workplace, every employee, every day, must do the following:
- Report all perceived acts of aggression,
- Violence, or
- Threats.
Publication 45 provides employees with the information and resources to reach this goal.
The updated version of Publication 45 is effective immediately and available on the Postal Service PolicyNet website:
- Go to blue.usps.gov.
- In the left-hand column, click Essential Links, and then click PolicyNet.
- On the right-hand side, under “Published Forms and Directives,” click Publications.
- Then scroll down to the Pub 45 entry and select the PDF icon.
The direct URL for the Postal Service PolicyNet website is blue.usps.gov/cpim.
