As
we are into the third year of the 2007-2011 NYS/PEF Contract, we encourage you
to apply for a Safety and Health Initiative Program [SHIP] grant under Article
18.4. The SHIP provides grant funding, up to a maximum of $15,000, to assist in
the development of safety and health programs and training.
These grants can be used to support a variety of initiatives. We
encourage you to consult with the Statewide Committee Co-Chairs and PEF Health
& Safety Department staff in your grant development process so that we may
suggest qualified program and training providers and assist with grant
development. We have purposefully tried to simplify the grant application
process. A good starting point in selecting a project is to evaluate which job
hazards are causing injury, illness, and workers’ compensation costs.
Examples of
fundable projects:
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.
Below are SHIP Applications that we have funded from this contract:
OMRDD - Western NY DDSO - Anger Management/Violence Prevention
OMRDD - Western NY DDSO - Violence in the Workplace - Creating a Respectful Environment
