From page 1...
... All elevator operators do a certain amount of risk management. They must keep handling and processing machinery in working order to meet delivery deadlines.

From page 2...
... But the one factor common to nearly all explosions in grain elevators is excess dust. Therefore, although a housekeeping program should prevent the accumulation of trash, spilled grain, discarded tools, and similiar debris, the program should be geared primarily toward dust control.

From page 3...
... Mechanical and manual housekeeping, in turn, include various means of collecting grain dust. The only mechanical housekeeping system that is known to be effective is the pneumatic type.
