“I took this course to further my knowledge of the grain industry and specific hazards,” said Ryan Towne, Green Plains - Bluffton. “It made me much more aware of the accidents that can occur and the risks involved when entering a grain bin. It was very good at covering dangers, followed by rescues. It gave me a much deeper understanding on how to identify these risks and how to respond properly to a situation.”
GEAPS 545 is one of four courses required for the Specialist Credential in Property and Casualty Risk Management. For more information on courses or credentials, visit the program website.
