ACCG Workers' Compensation Fund Safety Grants

Print this article

The Employee Safety Grant Program was recently created by the ACCG Workers’ Compensation Board of Trustees to provide financial assistance to Fund members for the purpose of reducing employees’ injuries through additional training, equipment or services. There will be $500,000 available to eligible Fund members in 2020. Those who are eligible are active members as of the time of the distribution who have earned the 2020 Safety Discount and are current on their premiums.

More information about the new program was emailed to the members earlier this week, including a one-page application, the requirements and details on a webinar to review the program. Applications will be accepted between May 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 with all purchases to be made by December 1, 2020. Examples of eligible requests include: personal protective equipment, body armor, fire department turnout gear or washers/dryers for gear, ergo equipment, first aid equipment such as AEDs, and fees for safety-related courses.

The opportunity to receive these grant funds is just one of many reasons to be a member of the ACCG Workers’ Compensation Fund.
