VPP Annual Self Evaluation Workshop in Baton Rouge

Is your company an OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) site? If so, you must submit your self evaluation by February 15, 2009. To assist you with that process, we are sponsoring a workshop to help you understand the steps necessary to effectively and efficiently conduct this required paperwork.
This 6-hour class will take place at the Safety Council’s Baton Rouge training center, on January 8; and, will be presented by Don Jones. Don has been actively involved with OSHA, the VPP and the VPP Participants’ Association (VPPPA) at a local, regional and national level for the past 20+ years. Don has also been active in VPP as a mentor, trainer and Special Government Employee (SGE). One of the highlights of Don's career is working with the government of Ireland to establish a VPP in their country. Don is also former president of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE).

The workshop will be focused on the OSHA Region VI VPP annual self-evaluation but the principles learned will apply to all.
