This investment seeks to enhance safety across the grains industry by leveraging innovative technologies that adhere to the hierarchy of controls (Appendix 1). The GRDC is specifically interested in proposals that prioritize the elimination of hazards at their source, moving beyond reliance on behavioural adjustments or administrative controls. Technological solutions—particularly those driven by automation and connected systems—are anticipated to play a crucial role in reducing safety risks and advancing the industry-s overall safety standards. To achieve these goals, the GRDC invites proposals that address key safety risks in grains production through targeted technological interventions. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following : 1. Machinery and Equipment Hazards : o Tractors and Harvesters : Solutions for preventing rollovers, reducing entanglements, and avoiding collisions with obstacles (e.g., power lines). o Augers and Grain Handling Equipment : Innovations that minimize the risk of entanglement in moving parts. 2. Grain Storage Hazards : o Grain Silo Entrapment : Solutions that prevent workers from becoming trapped in flowing grain. o Dust Exposure and Explosions : Innovations that minimize exposure to fine grain particles and reduce explosion risks. o Confined Spaces : Enhancements in ventilation and monitoring systems to prevent exposure to toxic gases. 3. Chemical Exposure : o Pesticides and Herbicides : Technologies that redu...
