The frequency of grain entrapments is growing nationally. In 2015 alone, media reports indicated that there were seven deaths and two injuries connected with grain across Canada. In response to the growing need, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association has developed a grain safety program.

At the heart of the BeGrainSafe program is a mobile demonstration unit which can function as both a grain entrapment demonstration unit and a rescue-training unit. Nutrien Ag Solutions Canada has committed $80,000 over four years to BeGrainSafe.
