Silos are structures that are found in agriculture, the food industry, the chemical industry, and the construction industry. They are used to store raw materials and bulk materials, but their operation \u2013 especially cleaning and maintenance \u2013 involves a huge risk. Work performed inside silos belongs to the so-called \"indoor\" category. confined space working<\/strong>, where the threat to health and life is extremely high.<\/p>\n

That is why They should never be taken by untrained people<\/strong>, and the responsibility for such tasks should be entrusted to specialized companies, such as Hiurban<\/strong>, which have the necessary experience, appropriate equipment and safety procedures.<\/p>\n

The most common hazards in working inside silos<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Risk of suffocation and poisoning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Silos are spaces with limited ventilation. Gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia) can accumulate inside, crowding out oxygen. Without proper protection, an employee can lose consciousness and even die within a short period of time.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Explosive dust<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Apparently harmless dust \u2013 e.g., cereal, feed, or chemical dust \u2013 can form explosive mixtures<\/strong>. All it takes is a spark to cause an explosion in a fraction of a second, destroying not only the structure but, above all, endangering the people working there.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Covering with material<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        An unprotected worker entering a silo filled with loose material risks being exposed to Asphyxiation and suffocation<\/strong>. Even a partial displacement of the material can immobilize a person, preventing them from evacuating independently.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Falls from a height<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The interior of the silo is often several dozen or even hundreds of meters high. Access and maintenance work require the use of rope access techniques. Any mistake or lack of safety measures could lead to a tragic accident.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Limited ability to evacuate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Silos have narrow entrances and difficult access. In the event of a blackout or accident, the quick extraction of the injured person is very complicated. This is another reason why Work inside the silos must be carried out by experienced specialists.<\/strong>, Those who have prepared emergency procedures.<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            • they offer comprehensive service<\/strong>Cleaning, maintenance, technical inspections, as well as reporting the state of the facility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n
