Formula Grant 25F55SP000042

This federal Formula Grant award for $1,564,000.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under the Occupational Safety and Health State Program (CFDA 17.503). The grant supports the State of Iowa Department of Inspections Appeals and Licensing, a division of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, in developing and administering a comprehensive occupational safety and health program for Iowa. The funding enables the state to carry out activities such as issuing workplace safety standards, conducting inspections, providing consultation services, and collecting occupational injury and illness data. This grant is part of OSHA's ongoing initiative to provide formula grants to states in order to establish occupational safety and health programs at least as effective as the federal OSHA program, with the goal of reducing workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities across the public and private sectors in Iowa. The grant period is 12 months, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
