Several VPP Firsts Achieved by Contractor

C. R. Meyer is an industrial and commercial general contractor with a facility located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In attaining VPP STAR status last September they also had two other significant accomplishments. They were the first contractor to be selected for the Star level of the Mobile Workforce VPP Demonstration for Construction, and they also became the first company to achieve Star status directly resulting from participation in the VPP OSHA Challenge Pilot.

An article in Occupational Hazards Magazine describes C.R. Meyer's accomplishment and provides some background on what C. R. Meyer did to earn STAR status, and how their systems and successes lead to their achieving these VPP firsts.
