Flour and Feed Mill Safety

Do your employees engage in flour and feed mill operations? You probably know that some aspects of feed and flour mill tasks can create hazardous working conditions for your employees. Safety Made Simple can help by offering various grain handling training courses focusing on workplace safety. Knowledge of safe grain handling and storage practices is crucial for preventing catastrophic incidents. Industry-specific training programs, such as those offered by Safe Made Simple, provide the information employees need to protect themselves and their co-workers. These programs also enable management personnel to understand what it takes to create a less hazardous work environment for their teams.

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