IMT EARNS VPP STAR RECERTIFICATION FROM IOWA OSHA, RECOGNIZING CONTINUED SAFETY EXCELLENCE
February 27, 2026GARNER, IA (February 25, 2026) –Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT), an Oshkosh Corporation business (NYSE:OSK), announced today it has achieved recertification as a Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) Star worksite by the Iowa Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA). This renewal follows the company’s initial certification three years ago, confirming IMT’s continued status among the safest worksites in the nation.
VPP Star certification is the highest level of recognition awarded by OSHA and is reserved for employers and employees who demonstrate exemplary achievement in the prevention and control of occupational safety and health hazards. This milestone places IMT in a prestigious tier of U.S. companies that have successfully developed, implemented and continuously improved their safety management systems. IMT is one of 35 worksites in Iowa to have received this prestigious certification.
“Receiving the VPP Star recertification is a testament to the enduring safety culture we have built at IMT,” said Amy Brownlee, Vice President and General Manager of IMT. “Maintaining this elite status requires vigilance and active participation from every single team member, and I am incredibly proud of our team for continuing to prioritize each other’s well-being every day.”
To maintain VPP Star status, participants must undergo rigorous reevaluation every three to five years. This process involves a comprehensive onsite evaluation by a team of safety and health professionals to ensure the site continues to meet best-in-class safety protocols.
Companies that achieve VPP status demonstrate the power of management, employees and OSHA working cooperatively to prevent fatalities, injuries and illnesses. VPP Star recipients have systems that emphasize hazard prevention and control, worksite analysis, training, management commitment and worker involvement with proven safety records at significantly lower rates of injury and other incidents than the average similar business.
“IMT continues to set a high bar for safety excellence within our organization, and this recertification is a direct result of the hard work and ownership every team member takes in creating a safe environment,” said Jason Havlik, Oshkosh Vice President of Safety and Facilities Management.
IMT recently held a flag-raising and plaque presentation ceremony to celebrate the recertification of its VPP Star certification.
