All 10 VPPPA Chapters, which correspond to OSHA's 10 regions, host an annual chapter conference comprised of educational workshops, networking functions and exhibit halls. The chapter conferences offer occupational safety and health professionals, hourly workers, employers and government officials the opportunity to gather and exchange best practices at a local level.

VPPPA Chapter conferences are coordinated by local chapter boards and volunteers from VPPPA member work sites, who have been evaluated and approved by OSHA as some of the safest work sites in the nation.
