Our safety intervention grant program provides financial assistance to help you achieve your safety goals. In return, employers provide research data over a two-year period that we will use to develop best practices and case studies to share with other employers. Program basics Employers can receive a 2-to-1 matching grant, up to a maximum of $40,000. For example, if intervention equipment costs $60,000, BWC will contribute $40,000, and you will contribute $20,000. To receive a safety grant, you must: o Be a state-fund or public employer; o Maintain active coverage; o Be current on all money owed to BWC; o Demonstrate the need for a safety intervention. When you apply for a grant, you provide us with baseline claim and injury data. Once the intervention begins, you report quarterly for two years. One year after the intervention begins, provide us an electronic case-study report and information that will help measure the intervention s effectiveness. Best practices are shared Grant recipients agree to share the results of their safety intervention grant benefits. BWC then shares these results with other employers and research organizations. We share safety intervention best practices for accident and injury prevention through our Safety Grant Best Practices Web page on ohiobwc. com. Visitors to the Web page can search for best practices by risk factor, industry and keyword, and view success-story videos.
