VPP Star certification
Everett Location
MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions is one of few companies in Washington state to receive multiple-site Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) recognition from the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH). Our Everett location recently earned Star status alongside our Seattle prefabrication shop.
“Congratulations to the Everett team on this recognition! Joining the very short list of only 21 VPP recognized sites in Washington state. Roughly three years ago we began the process of getting the North End team recognized as a VPP site. I can’t thank the service team enough for not only taking this process in stride, but also knocking it out of the park when we got to the evaluation process and interviews!” – Austin J Marotta, Senior Safety Manager.
The VPP allows OSHA and DOSH to recognize and partner with businesses that show excellence in occupational safety and health. VPP participants develop and implement systems to effectively identify, evaluate, prevent, and control occupational hazards to prevent employee injuries and illnesses. Approval into VPP is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health.
“Being recognized as a leader in workplace safety and health by the Washington State Division of Occupational Safety and Health is a testament to all of our employees and management working together to make our workplace the safest it can be,” says Lee Pyfrom, Safety Director.
