The Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS) and the Kansas State University Distance Education Program are offering an online course running from Jan. 7-Feb. 11, 2020 on how to develop effective safety culture. Participants will learn to calculate the return on investment for safety cultures, components of strong safety cultures and tools for reshaping attitudes and promoting employee buy-in.

Every company has its own “safety culture.” It’s there behind the scenes, shaping attitudes, investments, training and behavior. Some safety cultures are strong and successful. Others reflect a lack of awareness, corporate support and employee buy-in. “GEAPS 541: Developing an Effective Safety Culture at Your Company” will examine the safety culture concept, and show how, step by step, the safety culture at your company or facility can be improved.

“This course will greatly benefit today’s workplace, especially safety leaders,” said Joe Mlynek, Progressive Safety Services, one of the instructors for the course. “It focuses on the elements needed to balance an organization’s need for compliance with the need for concern for each employee."

The lessons will also provide the tools needed for evaluating a company’s current safety culture and then continuously improving it.

GEAPS 541, one of four courses required for the Specialist Credential in Property and Casualty Risk Management, is intended for safety officials, location and regional managers, facility supervisors, operations directors, shift leaders, safety committee participants and others interested in improving safety performance at their companies.

The course costs $700 for GEAPS members and $965 for non-members Registration closes on December 31.
