The Safe Grain Handling Courses being offered at the Agricenter in Bloomington, Illinois are set for the remainder of the year and registration is open. We are now able to provide quality hands-on grain handling safety training in a high caliber facility.

Two courses are being offered. They are a one-day “Welcome to the Grain Industry” course and a two-day “Safe Grain Handling Operations” course.

The “ Welcome to the Grain Industry” course is a basic one-day course geared to employees needing the basics of safety in the grain industry and will cover OSHA’s Grain Handling Standard along with demonstrations and scenarios designed to reinforce the message of safety. For additional information click here. Dates are as follows:

· June 11

· July 9

· November 12

The “ Safe Grain Handling Operations” course will be presented over a two-day period and immerses the participant in an environment that is as close to real as possible. This is an intermediate course designed for employees wanting to get more in-depth knowledge about the rules, regulations and requirements related to safety at a grain handling facility. The course uses a variety of demonstrations, equipment and scenarios to increase the participant’s existing knowledge. This course engages the participant to apply their knowledge and skills to find safe, acceptable and workable solutions. For additional information click here.
