We all have a piece in this!
Every year dozens of employees are injured or die from preventable hazards while working in grain storage and handling. Safety doesn’t need to be big to be effective, but it does need everyone to make it happen.
This year commit to safety by making small changes in the workplace or how tasks are performed to make a positive safety impact.
