There are four funding programs a Massachusetts employer can realistically apply for. We have been an approved provider since 2009, and we complete the applications with you.
There is both state and federal money available to support your Safety Health Management System. Most employers qualify for at least one and never apply. Inquire about our grant partners for the State of Rhode Island and Connecticut.
For Massachusetts businesses with 100 or fewer employees that contribute to the Workforce Training Fund. Find our name in the vendor list Cook Professional Resources, Inc.
Run by the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents to promote safe and healthy workplaces through training, education and preventative programs. Find our name in the vendor list Cook Professional Resources, Inc.
Provides resources to Massachusetts businesses to fund training for current and newly hired employees, aimed at productivity and competitiveness. Larger projects than the Express program, with a longer application.
A federal OSHA program funding training for workers and employers on workplace safety and health hazards — with a particular focus on underserved workers, low-literacy workers and high-hazard industries.
Availability, amounts and eligibility are set by the awarding bodies and change periodically. We confirm your current eligibility on the call before anything is submitted.
Being an approved provider since 2009 means we have filed these applications hundreds of times. We know which program fits, what the awarding body wants to see, and how long it takes.
If your business pays into Massachusetts workers’ compensation and your business is in Good Standing with the State, you are likely eligible for at least the DIA Safety Training Grant. For Rhode Island and Connecticut we will team up with our partners to assist you. We confirm on the call

The DIA funding, Susan Harwood are for safety related trainings and certifications. The Express Grant and Workforce Training while it generally does not approve safety related trainings to companies that are mandated to comply with those trainings, some are approved. Leadership and Development of your supervisors and managers is always a good place to start with an Express Grant.
For more than 20 years, I have trusted Safety Trainers to provide CPR and First Aid training for my teams. When I unexpectedly needed those skills to help save a friend’s life, I knew exactly what to do because of the training I received from Safety Trainers.
