The Dangers of Grain Silos
Grain silos, while essential for agricultural storage, pose significant dangers to farmers, particularly to young workers who often undertake hazardous tasks inside them. When farmers enter silos for maintenance, they face risks of entrapment due to unstable grain, which can behave like quicksand, making it nearly impossible to escape. The compression of grain can lead to suffocation, injuries, or even fatalities, making these situations extreme hazards within the farming community. This alarming reality has inspired innovative solutions to enhance safety in grain handling.
