The Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics awarded a Cooperative Agreement to the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations for $196,277.74, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, under the Compensation and Working Conditions program (CFDA 17.005).

The recipient collects, analyzes, and publishes statistical data on workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in Missouri under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The award funds the Missouri department's participation in a 50/50 cost-sharing partnership with BLS to conduct the Survey of Non-Fatal Injuries and Illnesses and the Fatal Injury Census. These deliverables enable federal, state, and local governments to track workplace injuries and illnesses by incident, industry, geography, and occupation, supporting workplace safety compliance efforts and informing employer and policymaker initiatives. The program provides data that allows workers to be better informed about workplace hazards and assists employers and policymakers in focusing their safety and health efforts.

Performance occurs in Missouri. The Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations maintains direct responsibility for all grant activities and deliverables; no sub-recipients are identified in this award.
