Grain Bin Safety

How it Happens:

People can become caught or trapped in grain in three different ways:
1. The collapse of bridged (crusted) grain
2. The collapse of a vertical wall of grain
3. Entrapment in flowing grain
Moving or flowing grain is involved in all three, people who work with grain; loading it, unloading it and moving it from bin to bin need to know about the hazards of flowing grain and how to prevent a grain entrapment situation.
