If interested, please submit the application below by June 30th, 2023, for review by the Region 1 Conference Planning Committee. The Conference Planning Committee is soliciting technically oriented, educating, and practical presentations that fulfill the needs of attendees from VPP sites and prospective VPP sites at all experience levels. The conference objective is to give attendees the opportunity to:

 

  • Build upon their skills & knowledge through education, networking, & sharing of VPP best practices.
  • Learn about practical accident prevention solutions and continuous improvement examples.
  • Learn more about VPPPA and expand their network of OSHA and VPP program contacts.

 

Best practices identified by OSHA VPP certification auditors during on site audits are excellent practices to share.
