OSHA Offers $12.7M in Grants to Support Employee Safety, Health Training & Education
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is offering $12.7 million in training grants to help create safer workplaces. The grants are administered under OSHA’s Susan Harwood Training Grant Program to support employee safety, health training, and education.
The grants are awarded to provide training and education programs for employers and workers on the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplaces, and to ensure that workers are aware of their rights under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act and the responsibilities of their employers to create a safe workplace.
The grants are intended to advance job quality by providing instructor-led training for workers, supervisors, and employers in small businesses, industries with high injury, illness, and fatality rates, and vulnerable, underserved workers, such as seasonal workers who often have limited English proficiency.
There are three categories of grants available:
