As National Grain Bin Safety Week wraps up we at Sunterra would like to remind all of you this is not just a week reminder of the dangers of crawling in a grain bin! The grain handling industry is a high hazard industry where workers can be exposed to numerous serious and life-threatening hazards. These hazards include: fires and explosions from grain dust accumulation, suffocation from engulfment and entrapment in grain bins, falls from heights and crushing injuries and amputations from grain handling equipment. Please keep grain bin safety on your mind all year long! We value all of our farmers and would be devastated if anything happened to any of you! Your life is important to everyone around you. #SunterraCares
