As the state works to reopen, Michigan’s Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity has announced workplace safety grants to keep communities safe from COVID-19.

The state says $2 million in COVID workplace safety grants will provide matching funds to small businesses of up to $10,000 to decrease their COVID risk through safety, training and health-related equipment.

This includes eligible childcare centers. The grant applications are open through Friday, June 18. Grants received after that date could be a part of a potential third phase, if funds remain available.

To apply, businesses need to complete the Michigan COVID-19 Safety Grant application.
