Restrict Grain Dryer Areas and Designate a SAFETY Zone

Designate a SAFETY zone for unauthorized personnel or visitors. Provide adequate fencing and security of restricted areas. Unauthorized entrance to restricted areas around the Dryer exposes persons to hazards. This area should only be entered by authorized personnel with proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Be sure this designated area is clear before turning power on to the Dryer.

Since Dryers are often installed on non-commercial farms, it is essential to keep unqualified/untrained personnel, especially children, out of the working area at all times. Accident reports stress that children must be given special precautionary attention because of their natural curiosity for exploring where the grain is going.

BROCK can provide an optional “Hazardous Area” Decal which can be posted in areas where only trained Operators of the Dryer have authorized access. It is the responsibility of the Installer and/or Owner/Operator to post and comply with these guidelines and/or other governing standards that may apply.
