Product Description

The OSHA VPP Star Worksite Flag marks a site that has earned the highest recognition in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Voluntary Protection Programs. It shows the VPP Star logo on a white field, printed on UV-resistant 200 denier nylon, with a nylon heading and two brass grommets for an outdoor pole. It is made in the USA and sized 4 FT x 6 FT.

Companies fly the VPP Star flag at the plant gate or on the main pole beside the American flag, and present it at the ceremony that follows certification. If you need a different size or a version for a lobby, we can print one; ask through our custom printed flags page.

OSHA launched the Voluntary Protection Programs in 1982 to recognize employers whose safety and health management systems go beyond what the standards require. Sites apply, are audited, and are approved at the Merit or Star level. Star is the highest, reserved for sites with injury and illness rates below their industry average and a fully implemented program. The program details are published by OSHA.

Flying the OSHA VPP Star Worksite Flag is part of the tradition. The flag goes up at a ceremony attended by OSHA officials and the workforce, and it stays on the pole as a daily statement that the site has earned and keeps its Star status.

Symbolism at a Glance

  • Star: the highest level of VPP recognition.
  • White field: a clean safety record and the clarity of a well-run program.
  • VPP logo: the partnership between management, labor, and OSHA.

  • Plant and site flagpoles flown beneath the American flag after Star approval.
  • VPP certification and recertification ceremonies presented to the site safety committee.
  • Corporate lobbies and safety offices hung on a wall or an indoor pole.
  • Multi-site companies ordering a flag for each Star site.
  • Recognition gifts for safety managers and VPP team leads.

Where does the VPP flag go on the pole?

Beneath the American flag on the same halyard, or on a second pole to the left of the American flag as seen by a viewer. The American flag is always on top or at its own right.

Is a Merit flag available?

Yes. We stock the OSHA VPP Star flag and can print the Merit version. Call us if you do not see it listed.

What size American flag pairs with this flag?

Fly a 4 FT x 6 FT or 5 FT x 8 FT American flag above it. The flag on top should be the same size or larger.

Can you print our site name on the flag?

Yes. We print custom flags, including VPP flags with a site name or approval year added.

How long will it last outdoors?

That depends on wind, sun, and how many hours a day it flies. Check the fly end for fraying every few months and replace the flag before the logo fades. We can set up a replacement schedule for companies with several Star sites.
