Video on the use of a mobile grain entrapment rescue demonstration unit that can function as both an education and training tool.

The mobile unit can serve three purposes:

1. Rescue Training. The unit will be used to train first responders in grain extrication procedures.

2. General Prevention Education. The unit can be used as a learning tool to sensitise public audiences about the dangers of grain entrapment, and the importance of lock-out/tag out procedures.

3. On-site Training. The unit can be used to provide in-depth prevention and emergency plan training to workplaces.

Grain entrapments occur when:

– An individual is present on the surface grain, which is being drawn out from beneath the individual;

– An individual attempts to walk across the surface of grain where a void exists beneath the surface; and

– An individual is in a grain storage facility where grain has solidified onto the walls of the bin and then the wall of grain collapses onto the individual.
