How Do Grain Bin Accidents Happen. Nearly all grain entrapment cases in 2022 involved grain that wasn't flowing due to spoilage. Each year, purdue university publishes the summary of u.s. So as we started to explore the statistics in 2020, 20 people died in grain bin accidents, entrapment and over the course of the time, statistics show that one out of every five of those. The number of grain bin fatalities can be greatly reduced if farmers and their workers get proper training and follow grain bin safety procedures in the video below. Suffocation is a leading cause of death in grain storage bins, according to osha. Even if a person isn’t trapped in grain, gases from spoiling grain or fumigants and molds can be toxic and can cause permanent central nervous system damage, heart and vascular disease, and even cancer. Reasons given for the spoiled grain include storing at moisture levels above 14%, improper drying practices such as rewetting grain using moist outside air, and leaks in the structure that let moisture in. Sadly, year after year, people who enter grain bins are trapped and engulfed in grain resulting in suffocation. Working in or around a grain bin exposes farmers and storage workers to serious and life threatening hazards, including fires and explosions caused by grain bin dust accumulation, suffocation from engulfment and entrapment, and crushing injuries and even amputations from grain handling equipment.
