Rule 40-14-4-.03 - Grain Storage
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024
(1) In the event the storer desires to store grain with identity preserved, the warehouseman shall mark the receipt for grain clearly so as to indicate to all persons that the grain is stored "identity preserved". The report of the warehouseman and the report of the warehouse examiner shall indicate the receipt numbers, together with the quantity of grain that is stored "identity preserved." Warehousemen storing grain with identity preserved shall take such steps as are necessary to keep the grain so stored separated and segregated from any and all other grain so that the identity of the grain so stored will be preserved. The storage by the warehouseman of grain with other grain shall be prima facie evidence that the grain is not stored "identity preserved."
(2) All grain storage bins, tanks and elevators must be equipped with sufficient man-lifts, ladders, catwalks and other safety devices as to permit ready and safe egress and/or examination. Bins, tanks and elevators not exceeding 25 feet in height may be served by a safe portable ladder. Bins, tanks, and elevators exceeding 25 feet in height must be equipped with metal, safety-cage ladders or man-lifts. Where more than one bin, tank or elevator in excess of 25 feet is served by one ladder or man-lift, adequate metal catwalks with sufficient guard rails will be provided to assure safe travel from one bin, tank or elevator to another.
