The U.S. Department of Labor announced a funding opportunity for $11.7 million in Susan Harwood Training Grants to support the delivery of training and education to help workers and employers identify and prevent workplace safety and health hazards.
Administered by OSHA, the grants will target disadvantaged, underserved, low-income, and other hard-to-reach, at-risk workers and employers. The grants are available to non-profit organizations, including community-based, faith-based, grassroots organizations, employer associations, labor unions, joint labor/management associations, Indian tribes, and public/state colleges and universities.
Applicants may apply in one of three categories.
The first is targeted topic training. This supports educational programs that identify and prevent workplace hazards and require applicants to conduct training on OSHA-designated workplace safety and health hazards.
The second is training and educational materials development. This category supports the development of quality classroom-ready training and educational materials that identify and prevent workplace hazards.
The third is capacity building. This allows organizations to develop a new training program to assess needs and formulate a plan for moving forward to a full-scale safety and health education program, expanding their capacity to provide occupational safety and health training, education, and related assistance to workers and employers.
Application must be submitted by midnight on Aug. 1. Applicants must register with grants.gov and the System of Award management to apply.
