What assistance is provided by the DoD VPP CX?
The Center offers both direct and remote technical support to assist military departments and agencies in preparing for and submitting their applications to OSHA for VPP recognition as a Star site. Direct support includes both an “engagement visit” and an “assessment visit” to each designated site by a team of safety subject matter experts who support the VPP CX. The engagement visit team provides commanders, their immediate staff, and key safety personnel with an overview of both the VPP program and the technical support available to them through the VPP CX. The assessment visit provides a baseline or gap assessment of the site’s current programs to the requirements of VPP, along with an action plan to address the identified gaps. Additionally, site personnel receive VPP awareness training to aid in developing a comprehensive implementation plan. A safety perception survey from the National Safety Council is also conducted and data from each site is compiled into a final report. Sites
