Over the past decade, grain bin entrapments have remained a serious safety concern in U.S. agriculture. From 2014 to 2023, annual incident totals have fluctuated between 23 and 42 cases.

Experts estimate that actual case counts may be 30% or more higher due to underreporting in the agricultural sector.

Despite improvements in rescue equipment and safety awareness, survival rates have not consistently improved. Most years still see over 50% of confined spaces incidents end in death. Remember when you enter confined space to have an attendant and a rescue plan. Otherwise it won’t be a rescue. It’ll be a recovery.

PS, Think safe 💀 Stay dangerous.
