Bio Fuel Safety

If your agricultural operation is involved in grain handling for biofuel production, you know that certain processes within the biofuel industry can create hazardous working conditions for employees. From grain receiving and storage to processing and facility operations, proper safety training is essential.

Safety Made Simple offers a range of grain handling and biofuel safety training courses designed specifically for operations working within the biofuel sector. Our courses help employees recognize hazards and understand the safe procedures required to work around grain handling systems, processing equipment, and related operations.

Knowledge of safe practices within the biofuel industry is critical to preventing serious injuries and catastrophic incidents. Industry-specific training—like the programs developed by Safety Made Simple—provides employees with the practical information they need to protect themselves and their co-workers.

Our training also helps supervisors and management better understand workplace risks, enabling them to implement safer procedures and create a work environment focused on sending people home safe every day.

At Safety Made Simple, we provide industry-specific training courses that teach workers how to develop and maintain a safety mindset. Our grain-related courses include:

Buried in Grain: Grain Entrapment and Engulfment: Becoming entrapped or engulfed in grain can seriously injure or kill agricultural workers. This online training program helps identify the most common causes of entrapment and engulfment and the challenges of rescuing engulfed workers.

Safe Entry: Grain Storage Structures: Entering a grain storage facility can present risks of entrapment, engulfment, and suffocation. Our program enables workers to identify the hazards. It also discusses the appropriate practices to ensure safe entry and the roles of each worker inside and outside a grain storage structure.

It Was a Good Friday: Grain Entrapment and Engulfment: This online training course provides a real-life example of what can happen when workers deviate from safe grain storage entry procedures.

Grain Dust Explosions: The Chain Reaction: Grain dust can be explosive under certain conditions. Use this instructive course to understand the elements that can fuel a grain dust explosion and how to recognize and identify common ignition sources.

Grain Dust Explosions: Prevention: Grain dust explosions are preventable. Our 25-minute training session covers the steps you should take to minimize the risk.

Hazardous Grain Conditions: Engulfment: This online training program provides insight into potentially dangerous grain conditions, including poor product quality, that can lead to grain engulfment.

We also offer courses on pertinent agricultural safety topics that extend beyond grain handling systems. Examples include pesticide safety, implements of agriculture, sweep auger safety, belt conveyor safety, anhydrous ammonia, tractor safety, all-terrain vehicles, and personal protective equipment (PPE) safety.
