BWC Safety Grants Program FY27
The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) recently announced the reopening of their Safety Grants Program for FY27.
It is not known how long the FY27 monies will be available.
The BWC has two major grants available. Both of these grants are for up to $40,000 every three years. These grants are 3:1 match, which means that for every $3 BWC provides, you must match $1.
The School Safety and Security Grant provides a wide variety of security and safe equipment, such as radios, panic buttons, access control, security cameras, bollards, etc. In addition, it has been recently modified to include a wide variety of HVAC improvements/upgrades: Learn more here.
The Safety Intervention Grant provides equipment for the purpose of reducing workers comp claims: Learn more here.
