About Us

The SHARP Alliance is an advocate for excellence in occupational safety and health, continuous growth of the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) and the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) and for a positive relationship with Oregon OSHA and/or Washington I&L DOSH. Its goals include:
  • Promoting the achievement of SHARP and VPP recognition
  • Assisting companies who are already in the process of becoming SHARP or VPP
  • Assisting all companies in Oregon and Southwest Washington in safety and health management
  • Providing input to Oregon OSHA and/or Washington I&L DOSH on activities, rules, and strategic planning
  • Serving as a resource to other members of the Oregon SHARP Alliance.
The SHARP Alliance is a non-profit organization comprised of Oregon employers who currently hold SHARP or VPP status, companies working toward becoming SHARP or VPP certified, and other companies interested in promoting safety and health in the workplace.
