Confined spaces such as tanks and storage bins are recognized workplace hazards on agricultural production settings. Manure storage facilities are often not recognized as confined spaces, especially on dairy farms.

The purpose of this webinar is to present how manure storage facilities meet the definition of confined spaces, and the potential hazards associated with these facilities.
