Michigan Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Aug. 6.
The State of Michigan is making available $8.55 million in COVID-19 Workplace Safety Grants but the application window for the first round of awards closes last Friday, August 7. The grants are intended to provide companies with fewer than 250 employees matching funds of up to $10,000 to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and purchase health-related equipment and training in response to the virus.
More information on the grants and qualification requirements can be found here. The initial grant application window will be open through August 7 with awards given shortly thereafter. Grants applications received after August 7 will be held pending a potential second phase, if funds remain available.
Examples of how grant funding may be utilized:
- Purchasing engineering controls and other supplies/materials such as sneeze guards, physical barriers, face coverings and hand washing/hygiene stations.
- Purchasing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including gowns, gloves and eye protection.
- Updating ventilation systems, UV light filters and the like.
