Current Grain Storage and Safety Practices of Ohio Cash Grain Operators

Abstract: Hazards associated with grain storage facilities are a contributing factor to agricultural injuries and are a perpetual problem for Ohio farmers, especially as on-farm grain storage facilities continue to grow in popularity with producers. To establish effective injury prevention programs, safety professionals must first understand how the industry operates, the culture of the workers, and the current practices used to avoid injuries. This research project was designed to bridge the gap between what is current… Show more

“…Most accidents in grain storage units may be associated with the complexity of the structures present in the processes and their operations, which offer hazards of serious and fatal injuries (Geng & Dee, 2018;Dias et al, 2019;Bellochio & Coradi, 2022).…”

“…There are few studies related to occupational hazards developed in post-harvest activities in pre-processing and grain storage units. Thus, such studies are recent in identifying the causes of occupational incidents in this line of work (Geng & Dee, 2018;Kakhki et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2020;Bellochio & Coradi, 2022).…”

“…Conducting in-depth research on identifying risk factors and causes of occupational incidents in various industries will ultimately help to reduce the rate of incidents and injuries [10] through establishing effective injury prevention programs [11]. Agricultural-related industries are high-hazard workplaces, where workers are exposed to serious safety risks and the cost of occupational incidents is enormous [12].…”

“…The expansion of grain storage capacity in recent years has led to a higher number of occupational incidents in grain handling industrial operations [14]. The frequency and costs of occupational incidents in grain elevators are higher than in other agribusinesses [11,[15][16][17]. Few studies have addressed safety issues in the grain handling industry.…”
