Recognize Your Facility for Staying Safe! 

It takes a tremendous amount of effort, skill and knowledge to keep your facility and employees safe and accident-free. Recognize your facility’s hard work with the GEAPS Safety Awards Program! 

What is the program? 

The Safety Awards recognize facilities that go an entire year without a work-related lost time injury or illness. Facilities are recognized with the Elite Tier Safety Award for going the entire year without a recordable workplace injury or illness. 

What do I get? 

Each facility that successfully completes the Safety Awards Program receives a plaque commemorating the accomplishment, is listed on the GEAPS website and recognized in In-Grain

Who can participate? 

The program is open to all avenues of the grain industry, including: grain storage facilities, engineers, equipment suppliers, millwrights and others. 

How do I apply? 

It’s easy to join the Safety Awards Program! Just download an application and email it to GEAPS today. If your facility has enrolled before, contact Patsy Lee to ask about online enrollment.
