The Voluntary Protection Program (VPP)
recognizes employers and workers in the private industry and
federal agencies who have implemented effective safety and health
management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below
national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective
industries. In VPP, management, labor, and OSHA work cooperatively
and proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses
through a system focused on; hazard prevention and control;
worksite analysis; training; and management commitment and worker
involvement. OSHA Challenge provides interested employers and
workers the opportunity to gain assistance in improving their
safety and health management systems.

USC 551 Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act
OSHA is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 20,843 burden hours from 90,500 to 69,657
hours. The decrease is primarily due to the lack of VPP Challenge
participation, the lack of training of new SGE applicants, and the
lack of re-approval training of existing SGEs. The lingering
effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic affected all OSHA Cooperative
Programs.
