Abstract
In 1998, representatives from the Employee Health Services, Safety and Security, Physical Therapy, Human Resources, and Legal Affairs Departments and the Risk Management Program at Robert Packer Hospital (RPH) in Sayre, PA began a project to create a "culture of safety." The journey would ultimately lead to application to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Voluntary Protection Program (OSHA VPP). Four years later, because of the dedication and collaboration of many individuals, RPH received notification that its application for OSHA VPP participation was approved by the Assistant Secretary of Labor. This article describes that journey and provides other healthcare organizations with the information needed to begin their own journey to successful project implementation.
