OSHA recognizes U.S. Postal Service's Chula Vista Main Office as safety and health "star"

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recognized the U.S. Postal Service's Chula Vista Main Office for excellence in employee safety and health. OSHA will welcome the facility into its Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) at the highest, or "star," level in a ceremony to be held on April 18 at 10 a.m. PDT at the Chula Vista, Calif., site, which is located at 750 Third Ave.

The 209 employees at the Chula Vista Main Office receive, sort and distribute U.S domestic and foreign mail. They process more than two million letters, packages and magazines daily, and provide maintenance and custodial support to all surrounding U.S. Postal Service stations, branches and associate offices. The employees are represented by the American Postal Workers Union Local 197, the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 70 and the National Mail Handlers Local 303.

"The commitment of the Chula Vista Main Office employees and management to safety and health has resulted in a significant reduction in injuries and illnesses at the facility," said Richard Terrill, OSHA acting regional administrator in San Francisco. "The VPP, with its emphasis on worksite analysis, hazard prevention and safety training, has provided an excellent framework for them to work together to accomplish this goal."
