The Employee Safety Grant Program started in 2019 by authorization of the ACCG Workers’ Compensation Board of Trustees. The grant program distributes eligible members their portion of $500,000 in annual grants, providing financial assistance to members for the purpose of reducing employees’ work-related injuries. Grant funds can be used for additional training, equipment, or services. Eligible members must be active members at the time of the distribution who have earned the 2023 Safety Discount and are current on their contributions (premiums) to ACCG-Group Self-Insured Workers' Compensation Fund.
A one-page application and simple requirements will be emailed to the members the middle of March. Approved grant items 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.
