Michael Enzi Voluntary Protection Program Act of 2025

HR 2844 establishes the Michael Enzi Voluntary Protection Program, a new Department of Labor initiative recognizing employers who implement comprehensive safety and health management systems. Employers participating in the program must demonstrate systematic hazard assessments, prevention programs, employee involvement, and safety training, and undergo annual self-evaluations and periodic onsite reviews by OSHA (which cannot issue enforcement citations during these visits). Participating worksites are exempt from routine OSHA inspections during their participation, and the program requires no fees for employers. The bill mandates OSHA to modernize the program's technology within two years and dedicate at least 5% of its annual funding to administer the program.
