The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, wishing to revise the benchmark injury and illness rates used within its Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP), published proposed changes and requested comments from the public (Federal Register notice 68 FR 44181, July 25, 2003). The Agency now publishes a discussion of those comments and its final VPP revisions. The revisions change the way OSHA uses Bureau of Labor Statistics industry injury and illness rates to determine whether VPP applicants and participants meet the rate requirements for the VPP Star Program. The revisions also apply to construction applicants' qualification for the Merit Program. No other VPP requirements are changed. Participants will continue to undergo rigorous OSHA assessment to ensure that only worksites with excellent, effective safety and health management systems qualify for VPP Star.
