WE’RE SPECIAL!
OSHA GRADUATES 22 EASTERN AREA "SPECIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES"
As an industry leader in Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) facilities, the Postal Service has taken
on a "mentor role" for private industry and public agency partners seeking their VPP status.
Recently, 22 Eastern Area employees completed an intense 3-day OSHA training course qualifying them
as Special Government Employees (SGE) who will assist in on-site evaluations for new and existing
VPP participants. Just prior to swearing in the new SGE graduates, OSHA Pittsburgh Area Director
Robert Szymanski told them how valuable they will be to OSHA’s mission of expanding the VPP program
by ensuring safety and OSHA compliance throughout industry. "The Postal Service is poised to surpass
current organizational leaders in VPP participation, so we are pleased to have all of you leading
the way," Szymanski said.
Eastern Area Manager of Safety Bruce Goetz attended the class and sees great things to come from it.
"We now have over 30 SGEs in the Area who can work with our existing sites and help with the
establishment of new sites. The commitment and hard work to become a VPP Star site is very stringent
but the rewards and return on investment are endless. The safety and health of our employees along
with the cost reductions to our company is a triumph for everyone.
