As Stand Up 4 Grain Safety Week comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who participated in our Toolbox Talks, training sessions and safety challenges. We’ve made progress as an industry—grain entrapments decreased 35.7% from 2022 to 2023 and total confined space incidents dropped 33.7%—but safety isn’t just about statistics. It’s about making sure every person goes home safely every day. Thank you to OSHA, the National Grain and Feed Alliance and all industry partners for sponsoring Stand Up 4 Grain Safety Week and helping to drive awareness around grain safety.

With nearly 8,000 commercial grain storage facilities in the U.S. and 19 billion bushels of corn and soybeans stored last year, safety in our industry is critical. While grain entrapments decreased by 35.7% in 2023, 49% of all confined space incidents last year were grain entrapments and 59% of those were fatal. For our teams, following the right safety precautions is a non-negotiable. The seven essential steps to staying safe in grain storage facilities are outlined in the graphic below. By making these steps part of our daily routine, we will reduce accidents and protect lives.
