Corn, wheat, oats, barley, sunflower seeds, and soybeans are among the raw agricultural commodities handled, stored, processed, and shipped by bulk grain handling facilities.
There is a dedicated page on grain safety offered by OSHA for workers, firms, professionals concerned with health and safety, and other individuals involved in the handling and processing of grains. Check out the grain handling webpage as it looks at explosions that may be caused by grain dusts, breathing issues, falls, and other hazards prevalent in such facilities.
