WORKPLACE SAFETY GRANT
March 2008
Dear Supporter of Workplace Safety:
The 1996 Legislature enacted legislation creating a restricted account in the General Fund known as the Workplace Safety Account and charged the Labor Commission with the task of using these funds to promote workplace safety. The Legislature stipulated that these funds were to be used by the Commission to fund:
� safety consultation services available to Utah employers;
� electronic or print media advertising campaigns to promote workplace safety; and
� other workplace safety programs and initiatives.
In accordance with the legislation, the Labor Commission is requesting applications for funding for projects or initiatives that demonstrate a commitment to workplace safety through effective programs such as, but not limited to, the development of workshops, training programs, implementation of specialized safety programs, increasing effort and resources for existing programs, and collaborative workplace safety training between organizations.
The information provided on the Grant Request Notice outlines the criteria which successful applicants shall satisfy and the process the Labor Commission shall use to award funds. Any questions regarding submission of the application, or the Workplace Safety Campaign should be directed to the Workplace Safety Program Manager, Elena Bensor at 801-530-6918 or elenabensor@utah.gov
Thank you for your consideration and interest and for your commitment to the safety of Utah's workplaces.
Sincerely,
Sherrie Hayashi, Commissioner
