Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 80/100. Broad Utah workplace-safety funding with useful training and prevention flexibility. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 because the current program expressly excludes electronic equipment, eliminating a defensible N9+ hardware purchase pathway. QC Healthcare Fit 0/100 because the published program is workplace-safety funding rather than clinical care delivery or physician coverage.
The Utah Labor Commission Workplace Safety Grant program provides competitive funding for workplace-safety initiatives conducted by eligible Utah organizations. The 2026 application period opens September 1, 2026 and applications are due September 30, 2026 at close of business.
Initiative Grants may provide up to $70,000 cumulatively per organization, with multiple grants permitted for separate safety initiatives. Recognition Grants may provide up to $5,000 per organization.
Eligibility and uses
Eligible applicants include Utah businesses, community-based organizations, nonprofits, local associations, educational institutions, and governmental entities. Supported activities can include workshops, training programs, safety materials, cross-training, substance-use prevention related to workplace safety, workplace-violence prevention, and innovative safety programs using technology.
The Labor Commission expressly lists electronic equipment such as computers, televisions, recording equipment, phones, AEDs and similar equipment as ineligible. Capital improvements, software development and new positions are also excluded.
N9+ assessment
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. Although technology-enabled safety programs can qualify, the program expressly excludes electronic equipment. That eliminates a defensible grant-funded N9+ device pathway under the current rules.
