VOSHA Compliance

PACIF’s Loss Control Services team has assembled several toolkits to help members comply with some of the more common VOSHA standards that apply to municipal operations. Additional information may be found on the OSHA website, www.osha.gov. A birds-eye view of the VOSHA requirements for programs and training that relate to municipal operations is provided in this matrix.

If you’ve had a recent VOSHA compliance inspection and are looking for some help, please let us know as we can provide practical advice on a communication and response strategy prior to engaging in a VOSHA informal conference. Contact us at losscontrol@vlct.org. If you have a specific compliance question, contact your PACIF Loss Control Consultant.
