Workers’ compensation insurer, Missouri Employers Mutual (MEM), has announced a third round of safety grant recipients after awarding safety grants to 37 Missouri businesses previously. Safety grants help Missouri businesses take the next step toward improving workplace safety.
All of MEM’s approximately 17,000 policyholders, regardless of premium size, are eligible to apply for a safety grant. Successful applicants earn one-to-one matching grants up to $10,000 toward approved safety initiatives.
MEM plans to award policyholders at least $1 million in safety grants over the next three years, and far more if they improve workplace safety as MEM anticipates. Policyholders are required to report on the success of funded safety initiatives so MEM can help other businesses learn from their success.
The following businesses were selected to receive safety grants to help prevent either slips, trips and falls or strains:
