RECOGNIZING THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 16TH THROUGH 22ND, 2025 AS GRAIN BIN SAFETY WEEK.

This concurrent resolution designates February 16-22, 2025, as "Grain Bin Safety Week" in Delaware. It recognizes the serious risks of grain handling - citing that over 900 engulfment incidents occurred nationwide with a 62% fatality rate in 50 years - and aims to raise awareness about preventing injuries and deaths in agriculture. The resolution directly affects Delaware’s agricultural community, including farmers, workers, and safety organizations, by promoting education on grain bin hazards. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic commitment to safety awareness.
