OSHA is committed to providing outreach and 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:
