Safety Management Processes is a firm designed to work with companies who are interested in improving their Environmental, Health and Safety performance. For safety and health, formal recognition for such excellence is through OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program (also known as STAR). The VPP is an OSHA vehicle established to recognize, promote and reward highly effective and proactive Safety systems. VPP recognizes that the objectives of OSHA can never be fully achieved by enforcement alone. VPP is a partnership between OSHA, the employer and the employees. It is a win-win situation for employers who reap the benefits of reduced costs from injury and illness claims, improved morale and in many cases, improved productivity.
