Carolina Star Safety Programs

• Management agrees to operate an effective program that meets an established set of safety criteria.
• Employees agree to participate in the program and work with management to ensure a safe and healthful workplace.
• OSH initially verifies that the program meets STAR criteria.  We then publicly recognize the site's exemplary program and remove the site from routine scheduled inspections lists.  (OSH may still investigate major accidents, valid formal employee complaints, and chemical spills.)
• Becoming a STAR participant shows employees and the community that your company is a leader in safety and health.

Carolina Star—Recognizes worksites that are self-sufficient in their ability to control hazards at the worksite.

Rising Star—Recognizes worksites that have good safety and health programs but must take additional steps to reach Carolina Star quality.

Building Star—Recognizes construction worksites that have Carolina Star quality safety and health programs but require demonstration of approaches that differ from current Carolina Star requirements.

Public Sector Star—Recognizes state agencies and local governments for their leadership and success in providing a safe and healthy work environment.

If you are interested in the STAR program and would like an application package, please contact LaMont Smith, recognition program coordinator, at (919) 807-2909
