The Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) presented “VPP Star Award” status to Oldcastle Precast Utility Vault, a certification achieved by fewer than 1,700 of the 7 million manufacturing facilities in the United States.
To earn a place in The Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), employers must voluntarily meet rigorous workplace safety standards that protect workers and reduce injuries. “Utility Vault has reached a level of safety and health management excellence,” said Michael Wood, administrator of Oregon OSHA.
"VPP demonstrates that the employer has made a commitment to becoming self-sufficient for its safety and health needs. The program provides employers with a blueprint for success by working with Oregon OSHA, and when we work together we can accomplish incredible things to make workplaces safer."
