Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) FAQs

If you'd like to get basic questions about the Voluntary Protection Program answered, the Vermont Occupational Safety & Health Administration web site has an excellent page of answers to frequently asked questions. Although these FAQs are targeted at Vermont workplaces, most of the answers also apply to the federal OSHA VPP. The Vermont VPP is modeled very closely to the program offered by Region 1, Federal OSHA and is virtually the same. If you are doing basic research on VPP, this FAQ page is a useful resource.
