Shermco Industries accepted for OSHA's VPP Challenge Pilot Program (11/12)

November 12, 2008

Shermco Industries, a provider of rotating apparatus and electrical power system testing, commissioning, repair, maintenance and training, announced this week in a press statement that it has been accepted into the Challenge Pilot Program, a part of OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP). The Challenge Pilot Program gives recognition to employers in the process of working towards implementing a successful safety and health management system. “We are committed to achieving the highest safety criteria,” said Ron Widup, executive vice president of Shermco, in the statement. “OSHA’s verification includes an application review and a rigorous onsite evaluation by a team of OSHA safety and health experts. And, we feel it is all a very worthwhile endeavor.”
