VPPPA Introduces Strategic Partner Program for Elevated Workplace Safety

New initiative aims to boost health and safety standards.

The Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association (VPPPA) has announced the launch of its Strategic Partner Program.

In a release dated August 18, the VPPPA shared news of the program, which aims to improve and develop tools and resources to facilitate enhanced cooperation between VPPPA and partner organizations. The initiative offers opportunities for a wide range of industry sectors, including education, risk management, consulting, human resources, and others.

“This is a truly unique program in that it not only connects like-minded organizations with a broad cross-section of decision-makers and influencers—from senior management through the front-line labor segment—but delivers stakeholders in workplace safety access to the content and resources that help us send our workers home in the same—or better—condition than which they arrived each day,” VPPPA Executive Director Chris Williams said in a statement. 

The Strategic Partner Program offers year-round exposure to partners via VPPPA’s platforms and events. And through this collaboration, VPPPA members are expected to engage more effectively with these partners, paving the way for better workplace safety protocols. Such projects may include development of products, services and other resources.
