CWB WeldSAFE™ – Personal Protective Safety Grant Application Form

Overview

The ongoing need for PPE in high schools has been exacerbated due to new safety protocols activated during and post pandemic, resulting in increased need for individual supplies, and the scaling back of PPE/materials budgets allocated to some welding programs. Furthermore, many secondary budgets are fixed, and therefore enrollment is capped both due to class size and funding. There is an ongoing need for professional advisory services and resources that provide information on best practices for welding safety within the educational system. These include safety in shop equipment, installation, and maintenance, as well as best practices for personal protection. Canadian school requirements differ by province, district, and school board.

The launch of this new safety /PPE grant fund program is consistent with the support that the CWB Welding Foundation (CWBWF) has provided to educators and students to date and aligns with the mandate of the Foundation in supporting education and Canadian industry requirements for welding and joining professionals.

This program and application process have been reviewed and enhanced to assist applicants in achieving success.
