OSHA is committed to providing outreach and compliance assistance to help
businesses proactively address safety and health issues in the workplace. To facilitate this effort
OSHA is seeking VPP success stories to post on its VPP Webpage. We are looking for submissions from
participating VPP sites that have implemented successful innovations in VPP. Generally, the success
stories are 1-2 pages long and follow a standard format. Information provided should cover
background on the VPP site, how the need for a new process or procedure was addressed and
implemented, including any obstacles (e.g., cost, employee resistance), and your results, hopefully
with your measure of success (e.g., lower injury rates, higher productivity, higher morale, lower
insurance costs).
The process for submission would require little of your time and is as follows:
- The employer should contact OSHA after identifying a success story that they would like to
share.
- The employer’s contact information will be assigned to a contractor who will interview the
organization about their success. A draft will be produced in the approved format.
- After review and approval by the organization, the success story will be finalized and
submitted for posting to the website.
We know that many employers have undertaken projects that have greatly
reduced the risk of injury to their employees. Sharing these successful ideas can help reduce
hazards in more workplaces. Please submit your ideas and view the Website often to see if someone
has posted an intervention that you can use in your workplace. If you have a success story that you
would like to share please send it to:
Danielle Gibbs.
