Road-Map to VPP Attainment
Steps to Achieving Star Status
Step 1: VPP Readiness Assessment
Our comprehensive assessment mirrors OSHA’s standards, including their checklists. It assesses your readiness and identifies areas for improvement. Before the onsite visit, we review your documents. The onsite assessment involves a walk-through, interviews with key staff, and reviews of your safety and health programs. Our experts then provide a verbal summary of initial findings. You’ll receive a detailed VPP Readiness Assessment Report, including recommended corrective actions, which should accompany your VPP application.
Step 2: Establishing an Attainment Plan
The VPP Attainment Project Plan by SRI Group covers the entire process, including timeline establishment, defining steps, and assigning roles. Key actions include:
- Completing a Gap Closure Plan,
- Forming a VPP Steering Committee,
- Submitting the VPP Application,
- Educating personnel on VPP,
- Passing the OSHA VPP Audit.
Our plan often enhances existing efforts for better outcomes without starting from scratch.
Step 3: VPP General Application and/or PSM Supplement Assistance
Your application serves two key roles. First, it gives the OSHA VPP Audit team necessary information for evaluation. Second, it demonstrates your company’s competent and safe management. With our extensive experience, we help companies create applications that effectively showcase their success. Remember, a strong application sets a positive tone, while a mediocre one poses significant challenges.
Step 4: Audit Day Program
First impressions matter greatly. Our Audit Day Program aims to start on a positive note, ensuring the assessment team reviews relevant documents and speaks with informed personnel. Preparing the worksite for inspection is also key. While facilitating the team’s job doesn’t guarantee Star status, difficulties in this area can be detrimental.
