Health and Safety | About Us

The primary goal of the Health and Safety program is to ensure Washington Closure Hanford and subcontractor employees go home injury-free and in the same condition in which they arrived.

In June 2009, the River Corridor Closure Project received U.S. Department of Energy Voluntary Protection Program Star Status.

The Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) was established to promote the reduction of injuries and illnesses in the workplace through the cooperative efforts of management, labor and government. The program demonstrates that labor, management, and government can work together successfully as partners in excellence.

Star Status is the highest degree of safety excellence in the VPP Program. The award of VPP Star Status to the River Corridor Closure Project marks the first time at Hanford that Star Status was essentially awarded to an entire company or project, instead of to a subset.
