The National Safety Council conducted a workshop at the 26th Annual national VPPPA Conference on how to use employee safety perception surveys to gain and maintain OSHA's Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) status. The workshop focused on employee perception surveys as one of the most promising proactive measures of safety management systems and organizational safety cultures. View the presentation, which provides a detailed explanation of the role, process, utility, and value of employee safety perception surveys in applying for and sustaining VPP status.
