Safety Intervention Grant (SIG) Program

The Safety Intervention Grant (SIG) Program offered by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) provides funding for employers to purchase equipment aimed at reducing or eliminating injuries and illnesses related to specific tasks or operations. The program offers a 3-to-1 matching grant, with a maximum award of $40,000 per three-year eligibility cycle. Employers must meet certain criteria to be eligible, such as being covered by the State Insurance Fund and maintaining active coverage. The grant application process involves several steps, including determining eligibility, arranging for a BWC safety field consultant to assist with the application, and gathering necessary documentation. If awarded, employers must submit a one-year case study to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
