Safety & Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP)
Join the Elite in Workplace Safety with SHARP Certification
The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) recognizes employers that go above and beyond in maintaining exemplary safety and health management systems. When your business achieves SHARP certification, you are acknowledged as a model for worksite safety, gaining national recognition and an exemption from OSHA inspections for up to 1 or 2 years.
WHAT IS SHARP?
SHARP is an OSHA cooperative program designed to reward employers who have successfully implemented proven safety and health management practices and are committed to continuous improvement. By becoming SHARP certified, your business will:
- Be exempt from scheduled OSHA inspections during the certification period.

- Boost employee morale, knowing their safety is a top priority.
Benefits of SHARP Certification

- Fewer workplace injuries mean reduced costs for workers' compensation and insurance.
- Your company will receive national recognition for excellence in safety and health management.
- Community acknowledgment of your business as a leader in safety.
- Exemption from scheduled OSHA inspections for 1-2 years.
