Grain Bin Safety Tips
Never Enter a Grain Bin Alone:
Always have a spotter outside the bin. Use a safety harness and lifeline if you must enter.

Lockout/Tagout:
Ensure all machinery is turned off and locked out before entering a bin to prevent accidental operation.

Ventilation:
Properly ventilate the grain bin before entry to reduce the risk of toxic gas exposure and oxygen deficiency.

Wear Proper Gear:
Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including a dust mask or respirator to avoid inhaling grain dust.

Monitor Grain Conditions:
Regularly check the condition of stored grain to prevent clumping and spoilage, which can create dangerous situations.

Communication:
Maintain constant communication with someone outside the bin and establish hand signals or radio communication methods.

Training:
Ensure all personnel involved in grain bin operations are trained in safe practices and emergency procedures.

Our training and preparedness reflect our unwavering dedication to serving and protecting our community. We are ready to respond to any emergency, and our newly acquired skills in Grain Bin Rescue are another testament to our commitment to your safety.
