parts of Ontario set the
stage, for the : formation of
silo :gases ,since plants
have been under stress.
Delayed harvest this fall
plus early frosts will also'
contribute to the problem.
The Farm 'Safety
.:Association warns that
any silo shoiild be consid-.
ered:a confined space and
appropriate safety mea-
sures should be taken: Silo
gases can form in silos
irninediately' after haylage
or corn silage' is put in and
can last for up to three'

dioxide. Bothofthese
areas should not be
entered unless the rules of.
confined space entry are
followed including the
. wearing of appropriate
self-contained breathing
apparatu,s. .
Basic entry procedures
for confined space
1. Test 'the atmosphere for
oxygen, toxic 'gases and
explosiveness
2. If ,a dangerous atmos-
phere exists, you, must
wear a self=contained
--breathing apparatus
Ventilate the area if possi-
ble. ,
3.` All mechanical and
electrical equipment must
be locked out:
4. Use the "buddy system" -.
and 'weir a lifeline.
Sufficient equipnnent:,and
manpower must be avail-
able. The extra person is
'there to summon as,sis
tance if needed.
5, Establish some form of
communication: verbal,
hand signals; line signals.
6. Never re-enter a `conte
fined space without retest-
ing or venting the. area.
Cases may be a signifi-
cant ,problems to .areas
where crops were dam-
aged. due 'to hail or where
excessive rains have con-
tributed to weed' growth,
Weeds and stressed plants
, tend to harbor higher coir
centrations of free'nitrates
which are converted into

• ide when put into. the silo.
