USVI small businesses seeking a proactive approach to safety and health have a great resource available to them. Safety in Paradise helps small businesses become OSHA compliant by helping them establish and maintain safe and healthy workplaces.

What is Safety in Paradise?

Safety in Paradise is a free, confidential service provided by the University of the Virgin Islands Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning (UVICELL). Although funded primarily through Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the service is independent of federal or local OSHA enforcement.

The program addresses immediate problems and offers professional advice and help in maintaining continued, effective worker protection.  Employers can find out about potential hazards at their worksites, improve their occupational safety and health management systems and even qualify for a one-year exemption from routine OSHA inspections.
