OSHA accepting applications for $6.9 million in new training grants
OSHA is accepting proposals for approximately $6.9 million in new grants to nonprofit organizations for safety and health training and educational programs under its Susan Harwood Training Grants program. An additional $3.3 million will be used to fund renewal grants for groups that have received the training grants in the past.
Nonprofit organizations, including community-based and faith-based groups, are eligible to apply for the new grants. The grants are targeted to organizations that propose to conduct training programs or to develop training materials to educate Hispanic and other non-English speaking workers, employers in small businesses, and workers who are employed in high-hazard industries and industries with high fatality rates.
