Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)

Iowa OSHA works with an employer and its employees at a specific worksite to develop a highly effective safety and health management system. The program involves a rigorous onsite evaluation by a team of Iowa OSHA safety and health experts. Star recognition is granted to sites that demonstrate exemplary achievement in the prevention and control of occupational safety and health hazards through the development, implementation and continuous improvement of their safety and health management system. Merit is recognition for sites that have developed and implemented good safety and health management systems but do not qualify for Star status.
