History: The states VPP program is called the Indiana VPP. Indiana is required to offer the VPP following passage of legislation in April 1995, which required the state OSHA program to adopt any exemption program that Federal OSHA offers. The legislation went into effect July 1, 1995. Approval of the states program change adopting VPP as part of its state program was published in the Federal Register on October 24, 1996. The state offers Star, Merit and Demonstration programs with rate requirements identical to the Federal OSHA VPP. The programs are open to general industry, construction, and the public sector."
