Contents of the NGFA Firefighting Manual: A Guide for Operators of Grain Handling Facilities and Fire Department Officials are primarily intended to address planning for and fighting fires in grain elevators.
However, the US organization says the information has significant applications for feed mills, processing plants, flour mills and other facilities that store and handle bulk agricultural commodities.
Chemical fires, which have applications for fertilizer and chemical plants, also are addressed in the guide.
“Each grain handling facility is unique in its layout, design, construction, operations, equipment, and personnel, and requires a tailored firefighting plan,” said NGFA director, training, safety and education, Jim Seibert. “The firefighting plan should be a mutual effort between the facility’s management and the fire officials of the district in which it is located. It would benefit both facility management and fire officials to read and be familiar with the contents of this entire manual, since the information conveyed in each chapter affects both parties.”
The NGFA announced the publication of its new firefighting manual to members during its annual convention on June 2-4. The manual, which had not been updated since 1987, complements a robust suite of safety training materials, said the NGFA.
Safety guidelines for UK feed mills
UK feed industry representatives, AIC, released new safety guidelines for feed mills to prevent fires and explosions in November last year.
The document, Control of Fire and Explosion Risks in Animal Feed Manufacturing Plants & Processes, followed work done by the feed sector linked health and safety forum of the Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC).
