OSHA
annually provides funds to nonprofit organizations to conduct workplace training and
education, in subjects where OSHA identifies areas of unmet needs for safety and health
education in the workplace, and invites grant applications to address these needs. Current
grant subjects include agricultural health and safety, and hazard communication programs
for small businesses that do not have safety and health staff to assist them. Organizations awarded grants use funds to develop training and educational programs, reach out to worker and employers for whom their program is appropriate, and provide these programs to workers and employers. Grants are awarded annually, with a one-year renewal possible. Grant recipients are expected to contribute 20 percent of the total grant cost. |
