Safety intervention grants
The Safety Intervention Grant$ Program provides financial assistance to state-fund employers or
public employer taxing districts toward the purchase of equipment to substantially reduce or eliminate
injuries and illnesses associated with a particular task or operation. Employers are eligible for a 2-to-1
matching grant, up to a maximum of $40,000, meaning a total of $60,000 — $20,000 from the employer and
$40,000 from BWC. Employers participating in the program provide BWC a year-end case study and quarterly
reports to document their experience with the equipment. This data is used to establish
safety best practices in the field of
occupational safety and health.
