The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Safety Intervention Program recently announced that it awarded $217,000 in grants to Ohio businesses for the month of September 2011. The Ohio BWC created this program to offer businesses incentive to engage in practices that will reduce workplace injuries and illnesses.

Private and public employers in Ohio are eligible for the grants. Businesses seeking funds from the program must first pledge an amount which the BWC will then match 2-to-1 for maximum grants of $40,000. For some examples of the ways in which Ohio businesses used their grant money to improve workplace safety, visit: https://www.ohiobwc.com/home/current/releases/2011/102711.asp
