Missouri Department Of Labor And Industrial Relations

Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations is a U.S. state government entity headquartered in Jefferson City, Missouri, registered with SAM.gov since November 2008. As a state labor department, the entity provides essential occupational safety and health statistical services to the federal government through cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The department serves as Missouri's primary vehicle for collecting, analyzing, and publishing critical workplace safety data that informs federal and state policy decisions, employer practices, and worker safety initiatives across the nation.

The Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations has maintained a sustained partnership with the Bureau of Labor Statistics through consecutive annual cooperative agreements under the Compensation and Working Conditions federal grant program (CFDA 17.005). Since fiscal year 2021, the department has received five consecutive awards to collect, analyze, and publish statistical data on workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Under these cooperative agreements, the department participates in a 50/50 cost-sharing partnership with the BLS to conduct the Survey of Non-Fatal Injuries and Illnesses and the Fatal Injury Census, which serve as the nation's primary source of public health statistics for job-related safety issues. The deliverables from this work 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. Award amounts have ranged from $144,900 to $152,725.56, with the most recent award dated October 1, 2025, extending through September 30, 2026. The department has not indicated any intention to subaward funds to subrecipients, maintaining direct responsibility for all grant activities and deliverables to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
