Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) awarded $111,168.41 to the New York Department of Labor under the Compensation and Working Conditions program (CFDA 17.005) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This cooperative agreement funds the collection, analysis, and publication of occupational safety and health statistics pursuant to Section 24 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The awardee will conduct surveys of occupational injuries and illnesses and censuses of fatal occupational injuries to generate critical state-level workforce safety metrics that inform employer safety initiatives and worker awareness of occupational hazards.

The program operates through cost-sharing cooperative agreements between the BLS and state governments, with the New York Department of Labor serving as the implementing entity responsible for delivering statistical products and maintaining data collection activities in accordance with federal requirements. These deliverables contribute to the national occupational safety and health database, enabling policymakers and employers to focus workplace safety efforts based on comprehensive, reliable injury and illness data specific to New York State.
