>> Crews free man trapped in corn to his shoulders in Preble County grain bin
“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
