The Occupational Safety ands Health Administration offers a Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) to those companies who are devoted to the Safety and Health of their employees. The VPP program gives recognition to employers who employ effective safety and health management systems and display this through overall performance.
There are two levels of participation in OHSA’s VPP:
  1. Star
    Companies with exemplary safety and health management performance and injury illness rates below the national average in their industries.
     

  2. Merit
    Companies which show potential to become Star and have set goals to improve to this level within three (3) years.

The Benefits:

  • Removal from programmed inspection lists

  • Citations are not issued for violations that are quickly corrected

  • Additional recognition for outstanding safety and health management performance

What does it have to do with OHSAS?

The OHSAS management system can help your company achieve OHSA VPP status!
