Don't pass this advice off lightly. The VPP started in the early 1980s and is now coming of age. It is tried and true.
Success begets success.
In 1997, there were 399 workplaces in the program. By the end of 1998, the figure rose to 485 workplaces. VPP is a site-specific management system to identify and correct hazards and improve the safety process at a workplace. It performs like a quality program but encompasses more. VPP works in very small to very large workplaces.
