(r# Agrhvo Ni Warning issued after silo death GUELPH - A recent death in a silo on an Ontario farm has promot- ed the Farm Safety Association to issue a warning about entering silos during danger periods. The death involved an individual who entered a sealed silo where lack of oxygen and possible gases contributed to the death. The Association warns that any silo should be considered a con- fined space and appropriate safety measures should be taken. Silo gas- es can form in silos immediately af- ter haylage or corn silage is put in and can last for up to three weeks after filling is completed. Sealed si- los with high moisture corn have an oxygen deficiency due to build-up of carbon dioxide. Both of these ar- eas should not be entered unless the rules of confined space entry are followed including the wearing of appropriate self-contained breath ing apparatus. Basic entry procedures for con fined spaces: I. Test the atmosphere for oxy. gen, toxic gases and explosiveness. 2. If a dangerous atmosphere ex. ists, you must wear a self -container breathing apparatus. Ventilate the area if possible. 3. All mechanical and electrical equipment must be locked out. 4. Use the "buddy system" and wear a lifeline. Sufficient equip- ment and manpower must be avail- able. The extra person is there to summon assistance if needed. 5. Establish some form of com- munication: verbal, hand signals, line signals. 6. Never re-enter a confined space without retesting or venting the area.
