Region VI VPPPA’s flagship conference lands at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock, AR, May 18–21, 2026, bringing OSHA VPP sites, EHS leaders, and solution providers together for four days of workshops, peer-led sessions, and an active expo floor. Expect TEEX/OTI courses, networking, and plenty of exhibit hall time to evaluate products that tighten programs and close compliance gaps. 

Meet us at Booth 503 (Jason Orcutt on-site)

Jason Orcutt will be on the floor to walk through PPE selections that actually map to your tasks and hazards. We’ll have fast, practical guidance across:

  • FR daily wear for maintenance and operations.
  • Arc-flash protection (NFPA 70E/CAT-rated kits) for electrical work.
  • High-heat and molten-metal protection (primary/secondary aluminized options) for foundry and hot-work.
  • Chemical-splash ensembles for sanitation and spill response.

We’ll also connect specs to the standards outlined in our Industry Standards resource so your documentation is ready for auditors.
