The VPPPA National Board of Directors, Region II Chapter Board of Directors and the VPPPA National Office are proud to announce their involvement in the 2008 Puerto Rico Safety and Health Congress and Expo that will take place from October 28 to November 2, 2008. This is a combined effort to serve the needs of VPP, “Cemí”- Merit and “Guanín”-Star sites in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico OSHA Office, the public and private sector and any occupational safety and health professional in Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. The conference will offer a broad range of learning opportunities. On October 28 and 29, participants will be able to choose from several workshop topics and tracks including: numerous OSHA training courses, VPP application workshops, strengthening “Guanín”-Star Quality Workshops, as well as specialized training tracks on VPP, general industry and construction . Although Puerto Rico is an OSHA State-plan State, it falls under the jurisdiction of Region II federal OSHA. New Jersey, New York and the Virgin Islands, all federal OSHA States, are also included within Region II. The region II VPPPA Chapter Board repeatedly hosted successful annual conferences in New York and New Jersey and this year’s involvement in the Puerto Rico Safety and Health Congress and Expo is one of their many efforts to continue promoting the principles of VPP within Region II.
