Grain Bin Safety

88 year old Duane Walter of McGregor was killed Monday when he became trapped in a grain bin outside of Luana. It is a tragic story that threatens many farmers.

Dan Neenan, Director of the National Education Center for Agriculture Safety, relays the ways in which farmers can keep themselves safe in this situation.

Neenan says the second person’s one and only job is to keep watch on what is going on inside the bin. If the person inside becomes trapped, the person outside should not go in, but call for help immediately.
