[QUOTE="OkieJoe72, post: 4014482, member: 48447"] OSHA doesn’t typically inspect facilities unless there is a complaint or a fatality. About 20 years ago, I did a lot of work for Shawnee Mills. The only time that OSHA showed up was when a maintenance guy was killed while working under a piece of equipment and the hydraulics failed. Like mentioned in an earlier post, agricultural dust is an extreme fire and explosion hazard. There have been numerous explosions throughout the years in elevators and mills. The equipment in the head house at Shawnee Mills had been around since the early 1900’s when I was there. It was my opinion that it would be only a matter of time before something catastrophic happens there. The dust was everywhere, and it only takes a spark to set off a chain reaction. [/QUOTE]
