Small Changes. Big Impact.
Every year hundreds 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.
This year commit to safety by making small changes in the workplace or how tasks are performed to make a positive safety impact.
