• Description:
  Prior research and outreach focus has been given to injuries and fatalities that occur in "confined space" manure storages. Such enclosed storage areas may be below animal quarters, or below-ground reception and pump-out pits. Attention should also be given to non-enclosed storages such as open-air manure pits, which are more common in southern dairy-producing states. Research has demonstrated that manure gases and oxygen-depletion are major factors in enclosed manure pits, but research addressing open-air pits is limited. [Description provided by NIOSH]
