Delivery staff play a vital role in continuing to keep customers’ mail safe and secure when it is taken out on delivery. During this time, the mail is exposed to additional risk.

The pipeline security standard states that: ‘Mails are not left unattended or insecure at any time’.

Security checks

Mail security checks are regularly carried out. These checks include observing how long delivery equipment is left unattended, and what actions are taken to keep the mail safe and secure while performing deliveries.

You can find out how to use delivery equipment securely by asking your line manager.

Security procedures

By following our security procedures, not only do delivery colleagues reduce the risk of loss, theft, damage and interference to our customers’ mail, but they also contribute to:

Reducing customer complaint and compensation payments
Improving our Quality of Service
Retaining customer loyalty and contracts

Good security grows business. We all have a responsibility to act securely.

Wouldn't trust a line manager's opinion on up or down.

An IB (if that is what he was) checked my HCT while I was out on delivery. He saided everything was fine but them rather spoilt it when he asked where my partner was!!

All very nice am sure, but as I have mentioned before, all this security of mail will take time and impact on delivery times, and yes so it should, come out with us and test the round as it should be done, then we will all know where we are, I think we've been here before with this, and still we get nowhere with it, until we get caught out, not doing it quite right. Be up front and be fair about it all, and not simply out to catch us out

I've managed the knacker the ignition key, as I always turn the engine off every time I stop. 400 times per day at least will do this. Still waiting for van back.

Secure my arse! handed over a tracked to a guys neighbour and jokingly said it's a bottle of whiskey! ?
The neighbour then, on his doorstep, opened the parcel and he was sad to see an extension cable!
