RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, USA, August 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ – Sunoco, LLC has been re-certified as a Virginia STAR Worksite under the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health (VOSH) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).
“We commend the dedication and determination of Sunoco employees and leaders who make workplace health and safety a top priority,” said Gary G. Pan, Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry. “This achievement demonstrates their outstanding commitment to the safety of their employees.”
Sunoco, LLC is one of 37 current participants in Virginia’s VPP STAR. The terminal receives petroleum products via barges into its two above-ground storage tanks for distribution to the nearby Naval Air Station Oceana. The facility is located on a 50-acre site and began operations in 1963.
The Virginia Voluntary Protection Programs recognize Virginia employers, regardless of industry, who demonstrate exceptional safety and health management systems. The programs are based on a collaboration between management, employees and VOSH staff to build a cooperative relationship that promotes continuous improvement in workplace safety. VOSH VPP administers the Virginia STAR, Virginia Challenge, VADOC Challenge, Virginia BEST and Virginia BUILT programs.
