“Workers who step onto the bridge to loosen grain from side walls can be buried if the bridge collapses or caues and avalanche under the worker’s weight,” OSHA said in a news release.
OSHA is providing the following guidelines for those working in grain bins:
- Never walk on the grain to make it flow
- Use a rod or vibration system to break up clumped grain from a safe location
- Train workers and provide them with body harnesses
- Disconnect all powered equipment
- Make sure there is enough oxygen inside the tank before entering
- Have a rescue-trained observer stationed outside and in constant contact with the worker
>> Man who died in Darke County grain bin is Arcanum resident, 75
