Minnesota DLI MNOSHA Workplace Safety Consultation Safety Grant Program — 2026
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry matching grants of up to $10,000 for qualifying employers to implement recommended workplace safety and health improvements following an eligible on-site hazard survey.
FundingUp to $10,000 in matching grant funds per project. The current official DLI application confirms a dollar-for-dollar match, so the employer must fund the other 50% of the qualifying project cost; current live DLI pages do not publish a program-wide funding pool.
DeadlineApplications accepted continuously and reviewed every two months. Published cycle cutoffs: Feb. 15, April 15, June 15, Aug. 15, Oct. 15 and Dec. 15. Next listed cutoff: October 15, 2026. Current DLI FAQ/application pages do not state an exact clock time or time zone.

Required next actionKeep in Verification Pending until the exact current-cycle cutoff clock time and time zone are authoritatively confirmed. The current official DLI application now verifies the dollar-for-dollar match. Before any applicant-specific package or ORIGINAL outreach, verify a specific Minnesota employer's two-year operating history, employee status, workers' compensation coverage, qualifying hazard survey and written recommendations, approvals, cost quotes, verified business contact/email, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce status, exact-opportunity dedupe and authoritative send history. Do not purchase or begin work before a fully executed contract.
Broad Eligibility
Qualifying Minnesota employers must have been in business at least two years, have at least one employee, maintain workers' compensation coverage, have a qualifying on-site hazard survey by an authorized safety professional or qualifying safety committee with written findings and recommendations, have the knowledge and experience to complete the project, and be able to finish within 120 days of a fully executed contract. Public-entity approvals must be obtained when applicable. Eligible costs can include recommended safety or health equipment and installation, training tied to purchased equipment, tuition reimbursement, operating or maintenance costs for safety equipment, and necessary real property. Automobiles, weapons and personnel costs are excluded; the FAQ also excludes AEDs, CPR training and office furniture.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 72/100. Minnesota-owned state-administered workplace-safety opportunity with legitimate relevance to healthcare employers, schools/local governments and other Minnesota employers when the required hazard-survey and employer conditions are met. N9+ Fit 0/100 at program-control level and must not be forced; QC Healthcare Fit 0/100 at program-control level. Dr. Miltie is not established as a direct applicant. The current official DLI application verifies a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10,000, reimbursement treatment, the required hazard survey and vendor quotes, and the prohibition on pre-contract expenses. The current live program materials also verify recurring cycle dates. The remaining material verification hold is the absence of an authoritative exact cutoff clock time and time zone for the October 15, 2026 cycle. No ORIGINAL outreach until that deadline control and all applicant-specific eligibility/contact/deduplication gates are satisfied.
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry’s MNOSHA Workplace Safety Consultation Safety Grant Program provides matching grants of up to $10,000 to qualifying Minnesota employers for projects designed to reduce workplace injury and illness. Employers must have been in business at least two years, have at least one employee and workers’ compensation coverage, and have a qualifying on-site hazard survey with written recommendations tied to the requested safety practices, equipment, training, tuition reimbursement, operating or maintenance costs, or necessary real property.
The current official DLI application confirms the program is a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $10,000, and is reimbursement-based. Vendor quotes and the safety/health hazard survey report are required with the application, and invoices dated before the approved contract date are not eligible. Applications are accepted continuously and reviewed in recurring two-month cycles, with the next listed cycle cutoff on October 15, 2026.
VERIFICATION HOLD: The current DLI materials do not publish an authoritative exact closing clock time or time zone for the October 15, 2026 cycle. Atlas therefore does not infer one. Before applicant-specific package production or ORIGINAL outreach, confirm that deadline control and all applicant-specific eligibility, contact, opt-out, bounce and deduplication gates. Ordinary initial outreach must not introduce N9+.
