Piketon, OH – North Wind Dynamics, LLC is proud to announce the successful continuation of its U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star Level status, recognizing the company’s exceptional commitment to workplace safety and health. North Wind Dynamics received the DOE VPP Star Level designation from Stephanie Martin, Acting Director of the DOE Office of Environment, Health, Safety, and Security, on August 6, 2025.
The DOE VPP Star Level designation is awarded to a select group of organizations. It represents the highest level of recognition for worksites with exceptional occupational safety and health programs. These sites demonstrate strong safety performance, effective management systems, and proven methods for controlling workplace hazards.
Organizations at the Star Level are self-sufficient in managing safety risks and serve as role models within their industry. They consistently achieve injury and illness rates far below national averages, reflecting a strong, sustained commitment to worker safety and health.
“Achieving and maintaining VPP Star status is a true team effort,” said Damon Detillion, North Wind Dynamics Project Manager. “It demonstrates the commitment of every employee to creating a safe and healthy work environment, and we are proud of the culture of safety we’ve built together.”
