The Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) promote effective worksite-based safety and health. In the VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system.
OSHA was created in 1970 to help companies understand OSHA Regulations and implement safety programs at their facilities. OSHA compliance is more than just following regulations or protecting your workers. It also allows workers to look forward toward a healthier retirement.
