As a federally recognized program, the Indiana Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (INSHARP) provides recognition, rewards and ongoing support to small Hoosier employers that operate exemplary safety and health management systems. Certification in INSHARP is an achievement of status that will single employers out among business peers as a model worksite for occupational safety and health.
Employers that receive INSHARP certification will also receive exemption from programmed IOSHA compliance inspections for the period in which their certification is valid. However, employers are not granted exemption from inspections that are a result of an employee complaint, catastrophe or fatality.
