Grain Handling Regional Safety Seminar Was Success

OABA Members Learn Tips to Prepare for a Visit From OSHA

Earlier this week, Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) members joined agribusiness professionals from around the region for the Grain Handling Regional Safety Seminar in Indianapolis. One hundred and seven professionals in the grain, grain processing, feed and feed ingredient manufacturing sectors attended the OSHA-focused training opportunity, which was provided through a partnership among OABA, the National Grain and Feed Association and the Indiana Grain and Feed Association.

The seminar focused on the key requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) grain handling safety standard [29 CFR 1910.272], including its provisions on housekeeping, confined space entry, electrical, fall protection and personal protective equipment. In addition, the first half-day of this workshop included a presentation on how to prepare for an OSHA inspection.
