Safe Grain Handling Course to be held July 7 & 8
While many in-person events have been canceled, the two-day "Safe Grain Handling Course" being held at the Agricenter in Bloomington on July 7 & 8 led by John Lee is scheduled to go on as planned!
The best learning experiences come when the participant is immersed in an environment that is as close to real as possible.
That environment is what the grain training area at the Agricenter is all about.
OSHA regulates grain facilities with an industry-specific rule called the Grain Handling Standard.
The standard is found in 29 CFR 1910.272 and focuses on requirements for controlling grain fires, grain dust explosions and hazards associated with entry into bins, silos and tanks.
Grain facilities are also subject to numerous general industry OSHA standards.
