## Overview of the NASA Safety Program

- NASA safety objective is to avoid loss of life, personal injury and illness, property loss or damage, or environmental harm resulting from any of its activities and to ensure safety and healthful conditions for persons working at or visiting NASA facilities
- NASA complies with all applicable regulations
- NASA safety and health requirements
- Requirements of those federal agencies with regulatory authority over NASA such as OSHA, EPA, and DoT
- NASA requires every employee to report workplace hazards
- NASA ensures that there is no reprisal to personnel for reporting unsafe or unhealthy conditions

## The NASA Safety Policy stresses the individual responsibility of each employee for their own safety and that of their co-worker.  Risk within the work environment must be managed to control hazards and continuously improve workplace conditions 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recognized JSC as a leader in health and safety by awarding the “Star” designation level of achievement in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) 

As a VPP Star Site, JSC has a comprehensive and successful safety and health program, is below the national average for the industry in injury/illness rates, has demonstrated good faith in dealing with OSHA, and serves as a safety & health mentor to regional industry
JSC has not experienced a construction related lost time case in three years
