Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(g)(1)(i): The employer did not issue a permit for entering bins, silos or tanks in the grain handling facility before the employees entered the bins, silos, or tanks: The employer is failing to ensure employees performing grain bin entry activities are protected from hazards including but not limited to engulfment, asphyxiation, and amputation. This was most recently documented at 857th Rd and 514th Ave, Clearwater Nebraska on or about July 5, 2018 and July 9, 2018 when employees entered grain storage bins but the employer had failed to ensure an entry permit was completed certifying the provisions of 1910.272(g) had been implemented prior to entry. The employer allowed entries into the North and South bins without the permitting process being initiated and completed.
