摘要

The number of grain entrapments in 2018 increased, with at least 30 grain entrapment cases compared to 23 in 2017.The total of 61 confined space cases places the number of this year's confined space-related cases slightly above the five-year average (58.8 cases per year) and substantially below the 10-year average (67.10 cases per year).The Purdue report breaks out grain entrapment cases from a larger number of confined space-related cases, which include falls into or from grain storage structures, equipmententanglements (includingaugers), asphyxiations, drownings, and victims being struck or pinned by heavy objects.
