Bin Suffocation Hazards in Bridged Grain
2.7.3 Collapse of a Vertical Wall of Grain
This procedure may also apply to fertilizer where the bin is intended for fertilizer storage.
• Vertical walls of grain are created when the bin is partially empty. Poking at the wall can make the grain

• Do not enter bin to break down grain that has set up. Break grain mass from top of bin outside.
