The Voluntary Protection Partnership (VPP) of Kentucky is a program offered by the Division of Education and Training to recognize and promote exemplary safety and health performance in the workplace. Participants must meet rigorous qualifying criteria and undergo an  extensive on-site evaluation in order to be certified as a program participant. The program is very similar to federal OSHA's VPP program and includes removal from the general scheduled inspection list.
