OSHA has launched "VPP for Construction" (VPPC) to allow more construction companies to enter the Voluntary Protection Program. Until now, many construction firms were not able to participate, mainly due to eligibility requirements based on the culture of fixed workplaces.
"OSHA has crafted a program we believe will maintain VPP’s high performance standards while, at the same time, respond to the (construction) industry’s unique needs," said OSHA chief John Henshaw.
