Management Leadership and Employee Involvement
A VPP Star site is a work location that has been awarded this distinction for meeting and exceeding work safety guidelines and protocol. VPP are Voluntary Protection Programs established by OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
VPP stands for Voluntary Protection Program. This program was developed by Federal OSHA to give employers with good safety programs a chance to maintain and improve while working in cooperation with OSHA, rather than in an adversarial, enforcement relationship. The program was adopted by the State Plan States, including California, where it is run by Cal OSHA, the California Occupational Safety and Health Agency.
VPP participants are required to submit an annual self-assessment to OSHA each year by the established deadline. This self-assessment helps evaluate the effectiveness of the safety and health management system in place at the VPP site.
