Cal/OSHA VPP WebsiteCal/OSHA VPP Website Cal/OSHA California Voluntary Protection Program | Home | Cal/VPP | SHARP | Golden Gate | Alliances | Cal/VPP Star DOSH promotes safety and health by recognizing employers who have voluntarily managed outstanding
safety and health programs. The California Voluntary Protection Program STAR (Cal/VPP STAR) is designed to recognize employers and
their employees who have implemented safety and health programs that effectively prevent and control occupational hazards. These programs go beyond minimal Cal/OSHA standards and provide the best feasible protection at the site.
Management commitment and employee participation are key elements in achieving Cal/VPP STAR recognition. Cal/VPP STAR establishments are considered to be leaders in the field of workplace safety and health.
Successful applicants approved for participation in Cal/VPP STAR receive State and national recognition and are exempt from Cal/OSHA programmed inspections.
Although designed for fixed-site establishments, large construction projects that will be in operation for at least one year may be eligible for Cal/VPP STAR recognition.
