To prevent injuries, illnesses and workplace hazards, Management, labor and OSHA cooperatively and proactively work together. To attain the VPP status, the company employer must demonstrate management commitment to their employees’ safety and health and actively involve employees in the safety and health management system.

It is the responsibility of the employers to provide a safe working environment for their employees. The 40 Hour HAZWOPER course is one of the basic important training that an employer must provide their employees. There are many online HAZWOPER training schools but you must choose the best one. If you want to earn the recognition of the VPP then start maintaining a safety and health management system.
