Due to the varying levels of risk, certain industries are more likely to benefit from health and safety grants. For instance, marine-based businesses can take advantage of funding opportunities provided by the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme to enhance safety conditions on vessels, including safety equipment and crew working conditions. Similarly, the construction industry, known for its dangerous working environment, also offers training grants for businesses of all sizes through the CITB Grants Scheme. Eligibility for such grants may depend on the size and location of your business, as well as your industry.
There are numerous grants available for implementing health and safety measures, but they may only be available for a limited time and have strict entry criteria. SmallBusiness.co.uk provides guidance on accessing these grants and answers frequently asked questions. In addition, organizations like B&CE Charitable Trust offer various grants like the Mowlem Award and the Occupational Health Research Award, which supports businesses that promote health and safety in construction through research.
