The Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Act – Senate Bill 807 and House Bill 1511 – is legislation currently before Congress that codifies the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Programs, making them law. This would fund VPP directly through Congress instead of at OSHA’s discretion as is currently the case. Additionally, the legislation encourages increased small business participation in VPP.
