2010 Region X Award Winners
OUTREACH: (Extending services or assistance beyond current or usual limits)
VPP Outreach Award
The purpose of the Region X VPP Outreach Award is to provide recognition for our "VPP Ambassadors," who achieve an outstanding level of outreach activity and results, as well as, encourage others to reach that level. Reaching out to communicate and persuade others of the benefits of pursuing OSHA or DOE VPP approval is an important part of VPPPA's mission. The VPP Outreach Award is for an individual, company, or worksite that has done an extraordinary amount of work in these areas.
