CROET Oregon Worksite Grants

Purpose

The purpose of the Oregon Safety Professional Worksite Grant and the Oregon Occupational Health Nurses Worksite Award is to support projects that improve the safety and/or health in an Oregon workplace, and increase the visibility of Oregon Safety Professionals and Oregon Occupational Health Nurses. These are projects that have made or will make a difference in the workplace. The opportunity exists each year for CROET to award one project submitted by an Oregon Chapter member of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) for the Oregon Safety Professional, and one project submitted by an Oregon State Association of Occupational Health Nurses member for the Oregon Occupational Health Nurses Worksite Grant. The grant amount for 2011 is $2000 which must be used to implement the activity or project.


Requirements

The Activity, project or program:

  • May be new or an extension of an existing activity or program
  • Must focus on an Oregon workplace
