Ive heard that VPP is similar to ISO. Does that mean there is a fee for going through the certification process/audit?
In general, VPP Star sites use a management systems approach very similar to the framework associated with the ISO 9001/ISO 14001 Quality and Environmental Management System Standards to manage their safety and health programs. Many Star sites are currently certified to the ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001 Standards. While similar to the ISO certification process, the VPP application and recognition process is provided as a free service by OHSA.
