What is VPP?

The Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) is a safety and health management system that prevents workplace accidents and fatalities. VPP is for companies seeking safety and health excellence by implementing additional voluntary compliance measures that go above and beyond the requirements of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) rules and procedures. Operated by OSHA, OSHA state-plan states and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), VPP is designed to promote excellence in safety and health by recognizing facilities with outstanding occupational safety and health management systems.

More information on VPP can be found on the OSHA website.
