OSHA awards grants to nonprofit organizations on a competitive basis through its Susan
Harwood Training Grant Program. Grants are awarded to provide training and education programs for
employers and workers on the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of safety and health hazards
in their workplaces. OSHA selects the safety and health topics and holds a national competition to
award grants.
Grant Eligibility
Nonprofit organizations, including community and
faith-based organizations, that are not an agency of State or local government,
are eligible to apply. State and local government supported institutions of
higher education are also eligible to apply. Harwood grants have been awarded to
various nonprofit organizations including professional associations, colleges,
universities, and labor unions.

The training grants are named in honor of the late Susan Harwood, a former
director of the Office of Risk Assessment in OSHA's Health Standards
Directorate, who died in 1996. During her 17-year tenure with the agency,
Harwood helped develop OSHA standards to protect workers exposed to
bloodborne pathogens, cotton dust, benzene, formaldehyde, asbestos and lead
in construction. |
