Preparing for OSHA's voluntary protection programs: a guide to success

The book will provide the business case for a worksite to pursue VPP recognition. It will explain the multitude of benefits for companies that pursue VPP recognition, many of which have a direct impact on the financial bottom line ofa worksite. Case studies will be provided to illustrate these benefits. This book will provide readers with a thorough understanding of what the VPP is andwhy they should pursue VPP recognition. The VPP is broken down into four major elements and 32 sub-elements. A worksite must have a management system in place that addresses each of these sub-elements. The core of the book will discuss specifically how to develop and implement the various sub-elements requiredby the VPP. The VPP application contains a specific set of questions to be thoroughly answered in order to be accepted by OSHA. This book will provide specific guidance, through many examples, of how to develop an effective safety and health process that meets the VPP application requirements. The book will also address how to prepare for an on site VPP evaluation to ensure success. Finally, the book will cover post evaluation issues such as maintaining excellence, submission of annual reports, preparing for reapproval evaluations, and resources available to approved worksites or those worksites interested in pursuing VPP status.
