Congressional Outreach: Support VPP
Message from the Chairperson
Dear Members:
As leaders in occupational safety and health, it is imperative that we act now and contact our congressional representatives in support of Senate Bill 3257 (S. 3257) to codify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP). S. 3257 will not only support and expand the program, especially for small businesses, but it will eliminate the idea of a user-fee system for VPP.
Congressional representatives (see contact information) want to hear from their constituents. If you would like to make your voice heard in support of VPP, please contact your congressional representatives, members of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees and members of the Senate and House HELP Subcommittees.
