Innovation at Work supports the development of practical, shop-floor solutions that translate new knowledge into practice, or that solve specific problems in workplaces. It is also designed to support development and evaluation of educational projects that will benefit workers and employers by assisting employers to ensure safety and health protection of workers in B.C. and/or in our partners' jurisdictions.
Innovation at Work is intended to provide funding for small-scale projects that will promote increased interaction amongst workplace parties, organizations, and/or researchers. Using collective resources of those who are most affected by its policies and programs will assist WorkSafeBC and employers in ensuring that critical areas of need are addressed and practical solutions are found and implemented. Funding of up to $50,000 is available per project, for a maximum duration of one year. A one-year renewal may be granted upon successful re-application. Anyone is eligible to apply – the experience and capability of the project team will be a primary consideration.
The Innovation at Work funding stream closed its 2008 competition on February 11. Fourteen applications are currently undergoing review, and funding decisions are expected in May.
