Protect your investment. The investment you make in putting the crop in the silo is less than what you would spend if purchasing the crop from someone else.

The grain bin safe entry retrofit research project examined whether existing on-farm grain bins could safely accommodate an anchor point and lifeline system with the goal of reducing grain-related injuries and fatalities.

This article addresses safety hazards and precautions for horizontal silos, particularly bunker silos.

Production of biomass crops such as perennial grasses, willow, or poplar are often considered for so called marginal lands.

N95 is the minimum level respiratory protection approved by CDC/NIOSH for use for by individuals working with HPAI-infected birds.

There are two national consensus standards and one federal government regulation that are relevant to the design, construction and operation of confined space manure storages.

Discussion on how to determine the required amount and type of ventilation to reduce risk when entering a confined space manure pit.

Non-enclosed manure storages are open to the atmosphere, but still meet the definition of a confined space in terms of occupational safety and health.

A gas monitor with remote sampling enables measurements to be taken by workers located safely outside the storage facility.

Learn about when a person is discovered unresponsive in a manure storage pit and the best management practices farmers can take to avoid an emergency on their farm.

Penn State's Extension Ag Safety & Health program produces annual summaries of Pennsylvania's farm fatalities. These summaries can help identify hazards and risks associated with production agriculture with a goal of mitigating those sources.

There are approximately 10,000 mower injuries to children/youth each year, and about 5% of those injuries result in an amputation.

Learn about the our Ag Safety demonstrations and lesson plans that are available to educators. These demos are an excellent teaching tool for youth and adults about Ag Safety on the farm.

Many farm people have never stopped and actually analyzed why animals behave as they do and, more importantly, what this behavior may mean to their own personal safety.

A trailer mounted tractor cab equipped with hydraulic lift. A simulation of tractor operation on slope up to 30 degrees. Participants are interviewed as to their perception of slope angle.

Intended for adult workers this table top demo is designed to provide a hands‐on, life‐like PTO entanglement scenario. Reaction time is measured in relationship to the speed of a turning PTO shaft.

Targeted to youth ages 8 to 16, the Mr. Egg Demo provides understanding of the center of gravity, stability baseline, the value of ROPS, and factors leading to tractor rollovers.

This demo focuses on: center of gravity, and stability baseline of a tractor, skid steer, and ATV. The demo can lead to discussions of tractor, skid steer, or ATV rollover incidents.

This demonstration is for adult workers. Using the Head, Eye, and Foot Protection Demonstration helps illustrate the value of choosing the proper personal protective equipment.

This demonstration is aimed at adult workers. The Corn Picker Hazard Simulator presents a simulation of a clogged corn picker or forage harvester in operation.

This Demo will show many sources of farm hazards. Discussion of hazard prevention, developing a strategy to deal with potential hazards, and responding to injuries or fatalities from farm hazards.

The ATV Stability Simulator is an interactive safety education simulator appropriate for all audiences age 8 and over.

AgrAbility is a project designed to assist agricultural workers with disabilities or long-term health conditions by providing the resources they need to continue in production agriculture.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 not only impacts animals, but it can also impact human health and wellbeing. This article provides information should an H5N1 outbreak occur on a dairy or poultry farm.
