“Safety grants are available to businesses in any industry looking to protect the health and wellbeing of their workers,” said BWC Administrator/CEO Steve Buehrer. “Many employers find their purchase allows for sometimes the simplest of adjustments that can make a tremendous difference in the number of injuries and corresponding costs associated with claims.”
Ohio private and public employers are eligible for safety intervention grants, which include a 2-to-1 matching amount up to a maximum of $40,000 for a total of $60,000 – $20,000 from the employer and $40,000 from BWC. Quarterly data reports and follow-up case studies help BWC determine the effectiveness of employers” safety interventions and establish best practices.
