Q: What is VPP?
A: OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) was originally introduced in 1982 for general industry sites who desired to achieve and maintain a high standard of occupational safety and health excellence for its workforce. In 2006, OSHA expanded the VPP to include construction companies and companies with “mobile workforces”. For more information, please visit the VPP section on OSHA’s website: click here
Q: Why should your company consider becoming a VPP member?
A: To help achieve a safer and healthier work environment for your valued workers, help reduce workers’ compensation costs by reducing occupational injuries and illnesses, and to gain a competitive edge in today’s marketplace. Once accepted into the VPP, your company would become exempt from OSHA citations issued through planned inspections.
