Hat on grain

According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting data, 27 people lost their lives to asphyxiation caused by grain or soil on Canadian farms between 2011 and 2020. 

These incidents happen quickly, often quietly, and frequently without warning.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of G3’s sponsorship of CASA’s BeGrainSafe program, a partnership dedicated to strengthening farm and first responder safety across Canada.

Over the past decade, the program has:

  • Trained more than 800 firefighters
  • Delivered over 30 sets of specialized grain rescue equipment
  • Reached fire departments across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec.
