Stand Up 4 Grain Safety Week
March 24-28
As the agriculture industry remains one of the most fatal for American workers, a collaboration of industry groups has worked together since 2017 to sponsor the national Stand Up 4 Grain Safety Week event.
Every day during this week, there will be virtual training and learning sessions, with some options offered in Spanish. At OSU, our Occupational and Construction Safety team will be leading safety talks throughout the week and will attend Stillwater Fire's Rescue Demonstration on March 26.
