MO Dept. of Labor SHARP Program Info

Washington's Community & Economic Development Director, Sal Maniaci wants members to be aware of the Missouri Department of Labor’s SHARP (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) Certification.

Free On-Site Safety and Health Consultations are provided to businesses at their request. Businesses that participate in the Missouri On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Program may be eligible to become a SHARP member. SHARP members have lower workers’ compensation insurance premiums and are exempt from Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspections for a period of time.
​
In federal fiscal year 2018, the safety program corrected conditions at participating businesses that could have resulted in more than $12 million in OSHA fines. In addition, 3,701 workplace hazards were remedied.

For more information about SHARP or to request a free safety and health consultation, visit safeatwork.mo.gov or call 573-522-SAFE.  Members are also encouraged to speak with Sal to learn more.
