In 2016, JLG Industries, Inc. announced its Shippensburg and Bedford, PA, facilities received Star site certification, making JLG the first company in the access industry to achieve this recognition from OSHA. JLG began the journey toward VPP certification five years ago. At that time, parent company Oshkosh Corporation introduced a three-level safety management system (SMS) that looked at basic safety practices, as well as processes and employee engagement in safety. Working through this program positioned JLG to invite OSHA into its facilities to audit the company's processes and measure team engagement in safety and safe-working practices.
