The New Mexico Environment Department received a $1.24 million Formula Grant award from 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 period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The funding will support the state's federally approved comprehensive occupational safety and health program, which aims to be at least as effective as the federal OSHA program. Specifically, the New Mexico Environment Department will work to enforce workplace safety and health standards to reduce occupational injuries, illnesses and deaths across New Mexico through inspections, consultation services, and outreach/education activities. As the parent agency of the awardee, the State of New Mexico will oversee program delivery through its Environment Department.
