Indiana Recognizes First ‘VPP STAR' Contractor Site
INDIANAPOLIS - BMW Constructors Inc., an Indianapolis-based company, was recognized by Commissioner of Labor Nancy J. Guyott of the Indiana Department of Labor as the first Indiana construction contractor site to be awarded the VPP STAR-level safety award.
The U. S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) created the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) in 1982 to recognize and promote effective worksite-based safety and health management systems. Approval into VPP is OSHA's official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health.
