Grain safety
Three pillars of grain safety
Grain safety is built on three fundamental principles: ensure the upkeep of grain structures, practice responsible commodity management and adhere to safety procedures.
Maintain safe grain structures
Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent downtime and potential losses.
Responsible commodity management
Proper handling and storage of commodities can help prevent spoilage and contamination.
Follow safety procedures when using grain bins
To help prevent injury, only enter a grain bin when absolutely necessary and always follow best practices.
Grain Bin Safety Week
Grain Bin Safety Week takes place on the third full week of February each year. The purpose is to promote safe practices on farms and commercial grain-handling facilities.
At Nationwide, we are dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of grain bin entry. By collaborating with organizations, agencies and community leaders, we aim to educate the public on these risks and secure funding to equip emergency first responders with essential grain rescue tubes and hands-on training. Our mission is zero lives lost.
