Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 011 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(g)(2): Whenever an employee enters a grain storage structure from a level at or above the level of the stored grain or grain products, or whenever an employee walks or stands on or in stored grain of a depth which poses an engulfment hazard, the employer shall equip the employee with a body harness with lifeline, or a boatswain's chair that meets the requirements of subpart D of this part. The lifeline shall be so positioned, and of sufficient length, to prevent the employee from sinking further than waist-deep in the grain: The employer was failing to protect employee from engulfment . This was most recently documented on February 16, 2023 at 417 West Railway, Bruning, Nebraska. Employees entered grain bins without wearing a body harness and lifeline as required by this sub-part.
