OSHA VPP Corporate Pilot
OSHA has created a VPP Corporate Pilot program designed to allow corporations that are committed to VPP, and that are interested in achieving VPP recognition at facilities throughout their organization, a more practical and efficient means to accomplish this goal. The pilot program meets the needs of large corporations by eliminating the redundancy in the VPP application and onsite evaluation processes while maintaining the quality and integrity of the VPP program.
How Does It Work?
An interested corporation submits a Corporate VPP Application to OSHA describing how standardized corporate-level policies and programs consistent with VPP criteria are applied at facilities throughout the organization. Once the application process is complete and accepted by OSHA, individual facilities on need to submit facility specific information. There is no need to submit information contained in the Corporate VPP Application.
