Enroll Now in 2012 Safety Awards Program
Deadline extended to January 25! Don't delay!
In grain operations, avoiding engulfment, explosion, and work-loss injury or illness at your facility is its own reward. Each year, GEAPS likes to go one step further and formally recognize outstanding safety achievements within the industry by rewarding facilities with exceptional safety records.
GEAPS is pleased to announce the launch of another year of the Safety Awards program. The 2012 Safety Awards will be presented on stage during a public ceremony at Exchange 2013 in Louisville, Ken., and will honor companies and facilities with verifiable records of achievement in 2012. The program is not only for grain storage facilities, but also for suppliers, engineers and millwrights.
Five hundred and thirty-seven facilities at 39 companies enrolled in the 2010 Safety Awards program. At Exchange 2011 in Portland, Ore., the 2010 GEAPS Safety Awards program honored the 425 facilities at 29 companies that, together, completed over 12 million worker hours without a lost-time injury or illness. Who will make the cut for 2012? Only time will tell, but to be in the running, companies must enroll before the end of the year.
To enroll your facility, fill out the application form and fax or mail it back to the GEAPS office, with the appropriate enrollment fee ($75 for facilities employing a GEAPS member, $110 for non-member facilities), by Jan. 25.
Go Green: As of 2009, GEAPS offers a more environmentally friendly award. This certificate-only option saves shipping materials used to send a plaque. To participate simply select the "Go Green" option on your enrollment form.
Note: Was your facility registered for the 2011 Safety Awards Program? Make sure to submit your 2011 facility hours via mail/fax to the GEAPS office by Jan. 25. The 2011 Safety Awards will be presented at Exchange 2012 in Minneapolis, Minn.
