Hawaii Voluntary Protection Program (HVPP)

Purpose

The Hawaii Voluntary Protection Programs (HVPP) promote effective worksite-based safety and health. In the HVPP, management, labor, and HIOSH establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system.

Approval into HVPP is HIOSH’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The HVPP, also known as “Hana Po’okela”, meaning “excellent work”, recognizes exemplary achievements by employers in the area of workplace safety and health.

Fewer injuries and illnesses mean greater profits as workers’ compensation premiums and other costs plummet. Entire industries benefit as HVPP sites evolve into models of excellence and influence practices industry-wide.

In addition to national recognition as an employer committed to voluntarily making its workplace as safe and healthy as possible, employers accepted into the program are removed from HIOSH’s Programmed Inspection Schedule.

The OSHA website at www.osha.gov and the Voluntary Protection Program Participants Association website at www.vpppa.org have more information on the program.

The Special Government Employees (SGE) Program offers private and public sector safety and health professionals and other qualified participants the opportunity to exchange ideas, gain new perspectives, and grow professionally while serving as full-fledged team members on HIOSH’s HVPP onsite evaluations.

If you are employed at a HVPP site, contact HIOSH how you can help while gaining valuable experience!
