Use of the HVPP logo

Guidelines for Use of the HVPP Logo

The Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Administration (HIOSH) strives to provide opportunities for employers and employees to work cooperatively with the agency to address and improve workplace safety and health issues. One opportunity is the HIOSH’s Hawaii Voluntary Protection Program (HVPP). HVPP is HIOSH’s premier recognition program designed to recognize worksites with comprehensive safety and health management systems that incorporate strong management commitment and meaningful, active employee involvement. HVPP is open to qualified private and public-sector employers in all industries where HIOSH has jurisdiction.

The HVPP logo is the property of HIOSH and is not available for general use. Since the logo was developed to help identify and promote the HVPP, HIOSH must ensure that the use of the logo remains consistent and does not diminish program integrity.

The logo reflects that a product was developed as part of the HIOSH HVPP for informational purposes only. Use of the logo does not imply official agency approval by either HIOSH or the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) and should not be construed as an endorsement of the entity, its products or services.

Use of the HVPP logo is mainly reserved for HIOSH and active HVPP participants. The logo may be used by aspiring HVPP applicants if used in the proper context, (e.g., used in conjunction with language that clearly indicates the applicant is not an active HVPP participant, e.g., “Working Toward HVPP” or other similar phrase).
