Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) initiative that encourages private industry and federal agencies to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses through hazard prevention and control, worksite analysis, training; and cooperation between management and workers.

It organizes the largest VPP education event of the year, and promotes occupational health and safety. Membership with the association is established on a site-by-site basis.
