I do think that the grain standards are better than in the past, I grew up across from a horse ram that went up in fire from combustible hay. Greatfully, no one was in the barn (huge arena) at the time, however, all the horses died. <BR/><BR/>I think that we all need to know more and work toward better working conditions. In the end, I'm glad the issue is getting air play especially in the Senate race in Georgia. It something that does need to be addressed.bendygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354763484076446134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911320.post-73767530338131545302008-11-01T00:15:00.000-04:002008-11-01T00:15:00.000-04:00The OSHA Grain Facility Standard needs some fine t...The OSHA Grain Facility Standard needs some fine tuning in addition to governmental review. Over the past year, through media accounts, 13 grain facility explosions occurred resulting in workplace injuries.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, dozens more of grain facility combustible dust explosions have occurred over the past three decades since the OSHA standard was implemented.<BR/><BR/>Only when all stakeholders throughout the public and private sectors are involved in providing input to an OSHA comprehensive general industry combustible dust standard will combustible dust related fires and explosions be properly addressed in minimizing the occurrence and reducing the severity of future incidents.John Astadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183032143746688649noreply@blogger.com
