GEAPS 541: Developing an Effective Safety Culture at Your Company is
a brand new course on evaluating and improving company “safety culture.” Safety
specialists, including Chris Goulart of RCI Safety, lead participants through
lectures on what "safety culture" really means, what makes a strong
versus weak safety culture and why practicing safety is always a good business
decision. This course brings graduates closer to the Specialist Credential in Property
and Casualty Risk Management.
GEAPS 551: Materials Handling II builds on the information in
GEAPS 550: Materials Handling I, with in-depth lectures on screw feeders, drag
conveyors and bucket elevator cups and pulleys. If you’re involved in
management,operations or maintenance, this course is designed for you. Completion

Courses are administered entirely online, and consist of ten hour-long lectures developed and peer-reviewed by industry specialists. Tuition is
$625 for GEAPS members and $795 for non-members.
