Army commands, Army service component commands, direct reporting units, National Guard Bureau, and field operating agency level processes Processes will be developed at the ACOM, ASCC, DRU, NGB, and FOA level to— a. Integrate OSHA and national consensus standards into military standards, tasks, techniques, and procedures as appropriate. b.

The purpose of OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) is to recognize and promote effective safety and health management practices in the workplace.
Management and employees work together to ensure a safe and healthful workplace in coordination with OSHA regulations. The OSHA verifies that the program meets the VPP criteria, recognizes the site publicly, and removes the site from routine scheduled inspection lists. b. Installations should employ the VPP criteria to demonstrate their commitment to protect Soldiers, Army civilians, and the public by providing a safe and healthful environment. The application guidelines are included in the VPP information kit (VPP Policies and Procedures Manual, TED 8.1a) that is available from the OSHA regional offices. 69 AR 385–10 • 23 August 2007
