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.

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.
