The objective of this program is to promote safe and healthy conditions in the workplace by awarding state funds to eligible applicants who submit responses designed to provide and improve safety education and training in Occupational Safety and Health to employers/employees within the Commonwealth covered by the Massachusetts Workers Compensation Law (M.G.L. Chapter 152). Complete instructions will be detailed in the FY17 Safety Training Grant Application.
