Question: I heard about a Grant program offered by the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. How do I
apply and what is covered by the Grant?

Answer: The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation offers several Grant programs. You may find a list of all
grant programs at our BWC website grant link.
I want to focus on the Safety Intervention Grant (SIG). This is a grant offering funds to purchase
equipment that helps reduce or eliminate injuries. We offer up to $40k with 3 to 1 match. For every $1
spent by an employer, the BWC matches $3. Eligible Employers must have a BWC policy for one
complete year. You may apply for Fast Track items shown below or other equipment. Before applying
for other equipment please ask one of our consultants to review your workplace or discuss eligible
equipment. A list of unapproved equipment is on the SIG webpage under Resources. We advise
working with a consultant before completing the application. When you are ready watch the YouTube
Videos on How to use the Grant Management Portal and First Time Users in the Portal. The Grant
Management Portal is where you enter the actual application.

FAST TRACK ITEMS: Bathing systems | Cable pulling equipment | Chest compression systems | Conduit
bending equipment | Cot loading equipment | Electric beds | Extrication equipment | Floor cleaning
