There
are still monies available in the Safety and Health Initiatives Program [SHIP]
under Article 18.4 of your contract.
The SHIP provides grant funding to assist agencies in developing safety
and health programs. Representatives of the Governor’s Office of Employee
Relations [GOER] and the Public Employees Federation [PEF] from the State of New
York/ PEF Statewide Health & Safety Committee are available to assist in
developing grant proposals. The grants can be used to support a variety of
programs and training efforts to improve the safety and health of an agency’s
workforce. We
will also suggest qualified program and training providers upon request.
Examples
of fundable projects:
·
Infection Control Certification Training
·
Workplace Violence Prevention Program
·
Back Injury/Ergonomics Program/Training
·
Bloodborne Pathogens and TB training
·
Supervisors’ Health and Safety Training
·
Right to Know Training
·
Emergency Preparedness/Response
We encourage multi-agency or statewide projects. A project may include employees of other bargaining units as long as PEF-represented employees benefit from it.
Please take advantage of this program while it is available.

any questions or need assistance in completing the application, please contact
