- Help new people or groups offer safety and health programs for workers and employers.
- Check how well the new training ideas and programs are working.

Funding Information
Each biennium, the Division offers funding for a limited number of grant contracts, if funds are available. For this biennium, the Division set aside $360,000 in its budget. The Division gives grant money in part after it receives and approves quarterly reports. The Division does not have to award the full $360,000. In most cases, grant awards will be no more than $40,000 per approved project, unless the Division agrees to give more.
