About Us
 
  The Carolina Star Board is a Volunteer Partnership  
 
It is a cooperative effort between the North Carolina Department of Labor and representatives from companies that use a Carolina Star safety and health management system. The board is comprised of representatives from STAR companies, NCDOL STAR consultants and select business leaders from across the state. The Star Board's primary emphasis is on sharing best practices through an affordable, statewide safety conference. This conference is usually held in the fall in a central location.

  Carolina Star Safety Programs  
 
The Carolina Star Programs are designed to recognize and promote effective safety and health management.  In STAR, management, labor, and OSH establish a cooperative relationship at a workplace that has implemented a strong program:
 
     
 
  • 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 StarRecognizes worksites that are self-sufficient in their ability to control hazards at the worksite.
  • Building StarRecognizes construction worksites that have Carolina Star quality safety and health programs but require demonstration of approaches that differ from current Carolina Star requirements
  • Rising StarRecognizes worksites that have good safety and health programs but must take additional steps to reach Carolina Star quality.
  • Public Sector StarRecognizes state agencies and local governments for their leadership and success in providing a safe and healthy work environment..
