About 30 people a year are entrapped in grain bins. About half die.
Generally, someone goes inside a grain bin only because something has gone wrong. Which is when it's most dangerous.
Right. In industry, you'd need a confined space permit, lockout/tagout of any related machinery, a fall protection rig, and an outside watcher to go inside a grain silo. Standard industrial safety.
Farms with 10 employees or less are mostly exempt from OSHA regulations, by an act of Congress demanded by the agriculture industry.
That’s an interesting statistic. Is there data anywhere that has a consolidated list of counts of accidental death by injury. That would be a great place to look for startup ideas.
