Your dedicaton is noticed…
OSHA as well as Region VI VPPPA recognize VPP sites who have gone above and beyond to promote safety in the workplace. Each year a variety of awards are distributed in recognition of outstanding safety performance. With few exceptions, each and every site in the region are eligible for all awards, so don’t assume you don’t qualify before you read ALL the rules!!! Companies and individuals who receive awards are recognized at the Annual Safety & Health Conference hosted by Region VI VPPPA.
Regional Administrator Award (OSHA)
Describe how your site manager/management team has gone above and beyond to demonstrate their commitment to safety. How has your site used innovation or creativity to reduce employee exposure to hazards. How do you identify hazards and correct them pro-actively. How does the site encourage or promote the benefits of safety and health to others in industry. Describe any safety, health, process, event, etc., that shows your site is qualified to receive this award.
Everett Beaujon Spirit Award (OSHA)
This award is given to the site that has demonstrated the greatest VPP spirit during the previous year. The application requirements for this award are simple; winning is the tough part! Simply describe in one-page or less the efforts your company has made to promote VPP outside of your immediate site – whether within other sites in your corporation, your community, etc.
Star Among Stars Award (OSHA)
