CLEAR is the only software platform purpose-built for OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program. Manage every process–from application to re-approval—in one integrated system.
TRUSTED ACROSS INDUSTRIES WITH ACTIVE AND ASPIRING VPP SITES
CLEAR is purpose-built around OSHA’s VPP framework, not adapted from a generic compliance tool. Every feature maps directly onto a real program need.
Import your existing documentation and run our automated gap analysis. CLEAR scores your program against all OSHA VPP criteria and prioritizes the work ahead.
Use structured templates aligned to OSHA’s Application for VPP. Assign ownership, set due dates, and track progress across all 4 program elements in real time.
Ongoing dashboards keep your injury rates, corrective actions, and program documentation current year-round — not just before an evaluation.
CLEAR generates your complete evaluation package. Reviewers can access a shared portal, and your re-approval timeline is tracked automatically.
“This is a great system for SGEs. It makes the evaluation process uniform. SGEs who are new to the program will have the same guidelines as a seasoned SGE and will increase their confidence in doing either a annual self-evaluation or on-site audit. I love the ease and flow of the format. It just makes sense!

“CLEAR is one of the most promising advancements I’ve seen for the VPP community. It provides organizations with a practical, structured approach to managing requirements, maintaining documentation, and sustaining continuous audit readiness. This is exactly the type of innovation that can help strengthen and modernize VPP participation across the country.”

For sites currently in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) this CLEAR program covers the required elements and sub-element to perform your Annual VPP-Self Assessment. In addition, this tool will help a site looking to achieve VPP recognition for the first time, and to perform a VPP Self-Assessment based off what the OSHA-VPP manager expects to see in their report. It is a user-friendly program that doesn’t require subject matter experts or safety professionals to understand the program, it creates a history file of past assessments that can be viewed at any time. If you have any issue/problems with the program CLEAR has staff to guide or answer any questions.

CLEAR was founded in 2021 after our founders—a former OSHA designated SGE and a corporate EHS director—spent years watching organizations struggle with the administrative burden of VPP using tools never designed for it.
Today, the industry’s premiere sites across manufacturing, construction, refining, and the federal government rely on CLEAR to manage their programs, prepare for evaluations, and maintain VPP Star status year over year.
Every feature maps directly to OSHA's VPP criteria. We don't build generic EHS software and bolt on VPP features. VPP is all we do, and we make the process as CLEAR as possible.
Our team is led by former OSHA VPP Special Government Employees, certified safety professionals, and EHS managers who have achieved and led teams to Star status themselves.
We work closely with the national and regional VPPPA chapters, SGE networks, corporate and on-site safety staff to ensure the software reflects the most up to date realities of running a VPP program.
Join best-in-class industry professionals who use CLEAR to pursue and maintain OSHA VPP Star status. A CLEAR path forward, without the spreadsheets, binders, or missed deadlines.
