## Abstract

OSHA is amending its grain handling standard to clarify requirements intended to provide protection for employees who enter flat storage structures. This technical amendment assures that protection against engulfment, mechanical, and other hazards is provided without regard to the point at which the employee enters the storage structure. It also adds a definition of ``flat storage structure'' to clarify OSHA's original intent as to the scope of the entry provisions of the standard.
