Michigan Voluntary Protection Program (MVPP)

There are two levels of recognition in this program.

The Michigan Star program is designed for workplaces that have an exemplary safety and health management system with injury and illness incidence rates below the industry average for the last three years.

The Rising Star program provides the steppingstone for those establishments that have the desire and potential to achieve Star Status within one-to-three years. Rising Star participants have a good safety and health management system and have incidence rates at or below the industry average for two out of the last three years.

Current Star sites are available to mentor other companies that have an interest and desire to improve their safety and health management system. Mentors inform, counsel, train and strive to achieve excellence in safety and health through the program.
