How are others implementing a Voluntary Protection Program? As we come across them we'll provide links to web sites describing how VPP was implemented at a specific workplace and the benefits that resulted.

This site includes a lot of detailed information, including the meeting minutes from VPP Steering Committee meetings.

Since December 2000 PNNL has published a monthly VPP newsletter called the Porcelain Press. This newsletter is designed to raise staff awareness of the Laboratory's Voluntary Protection Program and to discuss timely safety and health issues. All of the back issues are available online.
