Edward Ballo has had significant experience working with and maintaining Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) certification. The reason Edward is so passionate about VPP is because it is an employee health and safety empowerment program. It allows the employees to take control of their safety and health programs and receive formal recognition from the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
VPP focuses on compliance and employee involvement which includes employee knowledge about its site’s safety and health practices. An example of a terrific success was when a site that Edward was leading, recertified for VPP, and the inspection team announced the site would be recommended for recertification during the out briefing and they left a day early because the site was so prepared for the re-certification effort.
