Two new Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) initiatives from OSHA launched May 26 are designed to expand programs to promote the safety and health of “thousands more workers across the nation,†according to the agency.
"We want to continually improve OSHA's cooperative programs and provide opportunities for more employers and employees who want to work with OSHA to create safer and healthier workplaces," said OSHA Administrator John Henshaw. "Encouraging many more facilities to continuously improve safety and health is the most effective way to assure compliance and further reductions in injuries, illnesses and fatalities."
