To achieve these goals, the GRDC invites proposals that address key safety risks in grains production through targeted technological interventions. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following : 1. Machinery and Equipment Hazards : • Tractors and Harvesters : Solutions for preventing rollovers, reducing entanglements, and avoiding collisions with obstacles (e.g., power pole/lines). • Augers and Grain Handling Equipment : Innovations that minimize the risk of entanglement in moving parts. 2. Grain Storage Hazards : • Grain Silo Entrapment : Solutions that prevent workers from becoming trapped in flowing grain. Dust Exposure and Explosions : Innovations that minimize exposure to fine grain particles and reduce explosion risks. • Confined Spaces : Enhancements in ventilation and monitoring systems to prevent exposure to toxic gases. 3. Chemical Exposure : • Pesticides and Herbicides : Technologies that reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals both prior to and during application. (e.g. touch free handling and batching) • Fertilizers : Safer handling solutions to prevent chemical burns and inhalation risks. 4. Manual Handling and Ergonomics : • Heavy Lifting : Mechanization and robotics to reduce lifting-related injuries. • Repetitive Strain : Ergonomic innovations in tools and machinery to reduce strain. 5. Working at Heights : • Silos and Grain Bins : Safety measures to avoid or mitigate falls during maintenance. 6. Fatigue and Distraction : • Long...
