Question: What did OSHA's original 2014 memo say?
Answer:
OSHA's November 24, 2014 memorandum sought to refocus On-Site Consultation resources on the needs of the five million small employers in the nation by requiring companies that exceed the size limit to transition from SHARP to the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). These companies were allowed to remain in SHARP until their VPP evaluation was completed.
