SHARP Program

OSHA's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP), recognizes small employers who operate an exemplary safety and health management system. Acceptance into SHARP by OSHA is an achievement of status that singles out Proto-Pac Engineering from among our business peers as a model for worksite safety and health. Because of SHARP recognition, our worksite is exempt from programmed inspections during the period that our SHARP certification is valid. Proto-Pac is 1 of only 10 companies in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which has received the award and 1 of only 28 in all of New England.
