Safety & Health Achievement Recognition (SHARP) Program
The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) recognizes employers with exemplary safety and health management systems. The SHARP program has an elite membership with active sites throughout the state and includes many different industries such as construction, contracting, packaging, refrigeration, materials handling, fabrication and others. Contact us to see if you qualify.
You are eligible for SHARP if you:

- Are a single, fixed worksite.
- Have at least one full year in operation.
- Have a Lost Workday Injury and Illness (LWDII) rate and a Total Recordable Case Rate (TRCR) below that for your industry within the established SIC or be willing to commit the time and resources to reduce your current rates to those required over an 18-month deferral period.
- Are on VOSH’s high hazard inspection list, or have a SIC on any emphasis program list at the national, state or local level.
The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry offers a companion program for large employers, the Virginia Voluntary Protection Program (VVPP). If you are interested in this program learn more by contacting our team here!
