SA: Man dies inside grain silo
ADELAIDE, Dec 13 AAP - The death of a man inside a grain silo is being investigated
by Workplace safety authorities.
The man is believed to have suffocated after falling into the silo, at Long Plains,
north of Adelaide, yesterday.
Police believe the man, who was wearing a harness and rope inside the silo, may have
slipped and been pulled under the barley as it was moving.
About 100 tonnes of barley was pumped out of the silo in a frantic effort to rescue
the man, who was an employee of the Australian Barley Board.
His body was discovered at the bottom of the silo four hours later.
Inspectors from SafeWork SA visited the site today as part of their inquiries into the incident.
A SafeWork SA spokesman said it was unclear how long the investigation would take.
