Industrial Commission Of Arizona

Industrial Commission of Arizona is a state government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since July 2008, operating as a child organization under the state structure. The agency serves as Arizona's designated authority for administering occupational safety and health programs and related workplace safety initiatives. Through federal grant awards, the Industrial Commission provides comprehensive occupational safety and health services to Arizona employers and workers, functioning as a critical intermediary between federal workplace safety standards and state-level implementation and enforcement.

The Industrial Commission of Arizona has consistently received federal grant funding across three primary program areas administered by the U.S. Department of Labor. Under the OSHA State Plan grants (CFDA 17.503), the agency has received substantial formula grant awards, including $2,225,400 for fiscal year 2021-2022 and $818,000 for fiscal year 2025-2026, to develop and administer a state occupational safety and health program that operates at least as effectively as the federal OSHA program. These state plan grants fund comprehensive activities including issuing workplace safety standards, conducting workplace inspections, issuing citations for non-compliance, and providing consultation services to both public and private sector entities. Additionally, the Industrial Commission administers the OSHA Consultation Agreements program (CFDA 17.504), which has provided cooperative agreement funding of $904,400 (FY 2021-2022) and $279,000 (FY 2025-2026) to deliver no-cost, confidential workplace safety and health consultation services targeting small and medium-sized businesses, particularly those in high-hazard industries. The agency also participates in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Safety and Health Statistics program through cooperative agreements, collecting and analyzing workplace injury, illness, and fatality data in a 50/50 cost-sharing partnership with the federal government. The Industrial Commission receives funding exclusively from federal agencies—primarily the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Bureau of Labor Statistics—with no identified prime or sub-partners, as state plan grant recipients are prohibited from subawardarding funds to other entities.
