We are working on a Safety Management System, OHSAS 18001, ESOH Management System. Why would I want to pursue VPP?
VPP is the recognition of a site’s established safety and health management system. Safety and health management systems such as OHSAS 18001 provide a good framework for standardizing safety and health polices and procedures. VPP is a recognition program that requires that specific safety and health management system elements be present for recognition. Management system standards like the OHSAS 18001 can be used to compliment and ultimately achieve recognition through OSHA’s VPP. The OSHA’s recognition program has been proven effective throughout private industry and Federal agencies to reduce worker illnesses and injuries. The VPP CX will assist organizations in enhancing their current safety and health management system in order to apply for VPP recognition.
