VPP Recognition
When OSHA approves an applicant for participation in VPP, the agency recognizes that the applicant is providing, at a minimum, the basic elements of ongoing, systematic protection of workers in accordance with rigorous VPP criteria.
ABCs of Safety: V is for VPP
- Exemption from General Schedule Inspection. The protection provided by VPP participants should make general schedule inspections unnecessary. Therefore, the site-based employer's approved worksites, mobile workforce, and VPP Corporate employers who work within an approved Designated Geographic Area (DGA), are removed from OSHA's programmed inspection lists (unless the participant chooses not to be removed).
- Publicity. OSHA publicizes VPP participant successes in a variety of ways, including stories on the agency's website; press releases and other agency media; and recognition during agency speeches and presentations.
- Symbols of Recognition. The VPP symbols of recognition are plaques and program flags, normally presented at approval ceremonies. The participant also may choose to use the VPP logo on such items as letterhead, shirts, mugs, pins, and magnets.
