At the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), your safety is our top priority. Every postal worker deserves to work in a safe environment, free from hazards. Reporting unsafe conditions promptly can prevent injuries and accidents. The PS Form 1767 is designed for exactly that purpose—to help you formally report any dangerous conditions in your workplace.
Unfortunately, despite the importance of this form, management has refused to make physical copies available on the workroom floors. In response, we are proud to announce an enhanced digital fillable version of the PS Form 1767 that you can easily download, complete, and submit electronically.

Whether it’s faulty equipment, hazardous materials, or unsafe working conditions, the form helps you take action to protect yourself and your coworkers.
