SHARP

Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) is designed to provide incentives and support to employers to develop, implement, and continuously improve effective safety and health programs at their worksite. SHARP provides recognition for employers who demonstrate exemplary achievements in workplace safety and health. These companies are exempt from a general scheduled Federal OSHA inspection for one to two years.
