Safety Intervention Grant Program

Did you know your Ohio business may qualify for up to $40,000 in matching funds to make your workplace safer? Through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Safety Intervention Grant, employers can receive a 3-to-1 match to help purchase equipment that reduces workplace injuries and illness risks. That means for every $1 you invest, BWC will contribute $3 — up to $40,000 every three years.

Who Qualifies for the Safety Intervention Grant?

The program is open to Ohio employers who:

• Have active coverage with the Ohio BWC (state-funded policyholders or public employers).
• Are current on premium payments and in good financial standing.
• Can demonstrate that the equipment purchased will significantly reduce workplace injury or illness risks.

This program is especially valuable for small to midsize companies, construction firms, manufacturers, and public institutions looking to stretch safety budgets further.

What Can the Grant Pay For?

The grant covers equipment purchases that make a measurable difference in reducing risks. Examples include:

• Material handling solutions that prevent strains and sprains.
• Ergonomic upgrades that reduce repetitive stress injuries.
• Cleaning and disinfecting equipment that minimizes exposure to harmful pathogens.

What it won’t cover: standard PPE (gloves, hard hats, etc.), training costs, or items required by existing OSHA regulations.
