Anadarko Industries is proud to announce that we have been honored with the prestigious OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star of Stars Award for the eighth time. This exceptional recognition is a testament to our employees’ unwavering commitment to workplace safety and health management, setting a benchmark not only within our industry but across all sectors. The daily focus they have on ensuring all activities are safely carried out, as well as watching out for unexpected hazards and ensuring they are promptly corrected, is what makes this award possible in the first place.
The OSHA VPP Star of Stars Award is the highest accolade within OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program. It is reserved for organizations that have demonstrated world-class safety and health management systems. To earn this award, a company must consistently exhibit exemplary performance by integrating safety into every facet of its operations and fostering an environment where every employee is actively engaged in protective practices.
What Does the Award Recognize?
- Excellence in Safety and Health Management: The award acknowledges companies that have developed and maintained a comprehensive safety management system that not only meets but exceeds OSHA’s standards.
- Leadership Commitment: Top management’s visible commitment to creating a safe work environment is central to this recognition. Leaders are expected to champion safety initiatives and ensure that safety policies are effectively communicated and executed.
- Employee Engagement: Genuine employee participation in safety programs is a critical element. Employees are not just informed about safety guidelines – they contribute to hazard detection, prevention, and the continuous improvement of protocols.
- Proactive Hazard Identification and Control: Recipients of this honor demonstrate a proactive approach to identifying workplace hazards and implementing robust control measures. This includes systematic worksite analyses, risk assessments, and comprehensive training initiatives that ensure readiness and resilience in the face of potential risks.
- Sustained Performance: Finally, achieving this award requires maintaining injury and illness rates that are consistently below industry averages. Continuous self-evaluation, periodic on-site assessments, and a commitment to ongoing improvement are integral to meeting these high standards.
Anadarko Industries’ repeated receipt of the Star of Stars Award reflects our deep-rooted safety culture and our determination to go above and beyond regulatory requirements. This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about our strategic investments in our safety programs, our diligent safety practices, and the collective efforts of every team member.

For Anadarko Industries, the Star of Stars Award is more than just a recognition—it is both an honor and a powerful reminder of the responsibilities we bear towards our employees, partners, and communities.
