Safety Intervention Grant

The Safety Intervention Grant (SIG) Program reopened in November 2022, making the program easier for employers to apply. We’ve:

• Reduced the requirement for being in business from two years to one year.
• Changed eligibility cycle to three years for all businesses.
• Limited reporting requirements to a one-year report/case study.
• Added the program to the new grant management portal for online application.

The SIG Program is available to any Ohio private or public employer covered by the State Insurance Fund to purchase equipment to substantially reduce or eliminate injuries and illnesses associated with a particular task or operation.

With the Safety Intervention Grant, recipients are eligible for a 3-to-1 matching grant, up to a maximum grant award of $40,000 for each three-year eligibility cycle. This means BWC gives $3 for every $1 the employer contributes.
