What is VPP Corporate?
VPP corporate is designed for corporate applicants, who demonstrate a strong
commitment to employee safety and health and VPP. These applicants, typically
large corporations or Federal Agencies, have adopted VPP on a large scale for
protecting the safety and health of its employees. VPP corporate applicants must
have established, standardized corporate-level safety and health management
systems, effectively implemented organization-wide as well as internal
audit/screening processes that evaluate their facilities for safety and health
performance. Under VPP corporate, streamlined processes have been established to
eliminate these redundancies and expand VPP participation for corporate
applicants in a more efficient manner.
Current participants are:
- Morton Salt Corporation
- Delta Air Lines
- The Dow Chemical Company
- Fluor Corporation
- General Electric Company
- Georgia-Pacific Corporation
- Parsons Corporation
- The United States Postal Service
- The Washington Division of URS Corporation
How Does VPP Corporate Work?
An interested applicant submits a VPP corporate application describing
corporate-level policies and programs consistent with VPP criteria that apply to
all facilities across the organization. In addition to meeting the traditional
VPP criteria, the applicant must have effective internal pre-screening processes
to evaluate their candidate facilities’ level of preparedness for participation
in VPP.
Following OSHA’s review and acceptance of the VPP corporate application, a
comprehensive onsite corporate evaluation at the corporate office/headquarters
is conducted by OSHA to verify the application contents. The evaluation will
include interviews with senior leadership and safety and health staff to verify
commitment; evaluation of prescreening processes; and comprehensive review of
corporate level policies and programs.
Upon acceptance of the participant into VPP corporate, all eligible participant
facilities will follow the streamlined application and onsite evaluation process
when applying for VPP participation as described below:
- Corporate - Facility Application
Process (C-FAP) – The facility applies for VPP using an application
that will cover the safety and health management system and include
facility-specific information. Information submitted in the corporate
application does not need to be repeated.
- Corporate – Facility Onsite
Process (C-FOP) - The facility onsite evaluation will focus on the
implementation of the standardized corporate safety and health policies and
programs and any facility-specific programs. Also, the duration of the onsite
evaluation under C-FOP is shortened using the VPP corporate onsite protocol.
