Advantages of VPP

An article in yesterday's Akron Beacon Journal provides a concise overview of OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program. The article states:

"Companies that are accepted into OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) pass a thorough application and audit but become exempt from occasional OSHA drop-in inspections, said Joe Warner, assistant area director of the Cleveland-area OSHA office."

The article also reports on a facility that has decided not to apply for OSHA's VPP.
