The North Carolina Department of Labor has received substantial federal grant funding across multiple programs administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Mine Safety and Health Administration, and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Primary grant programs include the Occupational Safety and Health State Program (CFDA 17.503), under which the department received a $2,108,117 block grant for fiscal year 2025-2026 to develop and administer a comprehensive occupational safety and health program providing workplace safety enforcement, employer consultation and training, and data collection on occupational injuries and illnesses.

Additionally, the North Carolina Department of Labor collects and publishes occupational safety and health statistics through cooperative agreements with the Bureau of Labor Statistics under the Compensation and Working Conditions program (CFDA 17.005), conducting surveys of non-fatal injuries and illnesses and fatal injury censuses that serve as national sources of occupational safety data. The department also administers Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) grants supporting the development and enforcement of state mining laws, worker training and retraining programs for coal and metal/nonmetal mining operations, and the creation of training materials addressing mine safety and health conditions. All of these grants are administered directly by the North Carolina Department of Labor as the prime awardee with no identified subawards to other entities, reflecting the agency's direct operational responsibility for delivering occupational safety services and data collection across North Carolina.
