Ohio BWC Safety Grants Program Reopens

The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) is reopening its Safety Grants program, making more than $41 million available in fiscal year 2027 (FY27) to help Ohio employers invest in equipment that keeps workers safe and reduces injuries.

Eligible employers may apply for three grant programs:

• Safety Intervention Grant (SIG)
• Firefighter Exposure to Environmental Elements Grant (FEEEG)
• School Safety and Security Grant (SSSG)

During the DeWine administration, the BWC has awarded more than $207 million in safety grants for items such as body armor, lifting tables and turnout gear.
