By the end of this year, we will inspect about 2,200 of these sites-beginning with those whose injury and illness rates are four times as high as the private sector average. Under this site-specific targeting program, we find four times as many significant cases as we do from any other kind of inspections. The targeting is getting us to the right places, places where we need to get the employer's attention. You can count on our continuing this program in the future. The second pillar in our new ways of working is partnership.
Partnership has great potential for multiplying our progress.
All of you are familiar with our premier partnership-the Voluntary Protection Program. Many of you participate in this recognition of the very best performers in safety and health in America. The success of VPP is clear, and we will continue to expand the program. We also need to make VPP permanent. It's time to pronounce our 17-year experiment in partnership a success and write it into law.
