OSHA FY26 21(D)

Indiana University of Pennsylvania received a $1.917 million block grant from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under the Consultation Agreements program (CFDA 17.504), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. Under this award, IUP delivers no-cost, confidential occupational safety and health consultation services to small- and medium-sized employers throughout Pennsylvania. The program provides on-site consultations that identify workplace hazards, offer guidance on OSHA standards compliance, and assist employers in establishing and improving workplace safety and health programs.

The consultation services operate independently from OSHA enforcement activities and do not result in citations or penalties. As a designated university administrator of Pennsylvania's consultation program, IUP is responsible for providing these advisory services while maintaining compliance with federal requirements, including retention of records for three years following grant closeout. The award is part of OSHA's broader On-Site Consultation Program, which operates across all 50 states and U.S. territories with priority given to high-hazard worksites and smaller employers.
