Special Government Employee (SGE) Training

The Special Government Employee (SGE) Program was established to allow industry employees to work alongside OSHA, particularly during Voluntary Protection Programs’ (VPP) On-Site evaluations, providing the opportunity for industry and government an opportunity to work together and share views and ideas. Qualified volunteers from VPP sites are eligible to participate in the SGE program. These volunteers must be approved by OSHA, funded by their companies to participate, and complete SGE Training.

Date and time: 9/29/26 – 9/30/26 from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Registration Information: Applications will open in spring 2026. Contact Nate Griffin, GSP, Southwest Regional VPP Coordinator for more information Nathanial.griffin@doli.virginia.gov.
