Set up to promote excellence in safety and health management, this prestigious government program now boasts more than 400 participating worksites, with gains ranging from increased productivity to reduction in workplace injury and insurance costs.

Special features include:

• Step-by-step instructions to the VPP application and post-approval process

• Quick, in-depth tests for assessing a worksite against the VPP requirements
• Action checklists to help plan for onsite reviews

• Interviews with individuals who review applications and evaluate worksites
