What’s wrong in this picture? There is a huge lack of PPE in this scene. These workers are unaware of the present grain dust hazards. The exposure to grain dust causes “grain fever,” wheezing, chest tightness, cough, eye and nasal irritation, and symptoms of chronic respiratory disease.
Breathing in grain dust can affect the health and overall comfort for grain producers and others who work in the grain industry.
If you cannot avoid exposure to grain dust then you must put in place appropriate control measures.
