Harvest Safety Week focuses on heat illness and injury prevention

The National Grain and Feed Association is hosting its fourth annual Harvest Safety Week.

Jess McCluer is the vice president of safety and regulatory affairs.  

“It’s always a busy time of year for the grain feed and processing industry,” he says. “There is increased traffic at the grain facilities and additional workers demanding hours.”

This year’s event is focusing on heat illness and injury prevention. McCluer says it ties into OSHA’s pending heat injury and illness standard.
