Season 2, Episode 9 - Safety with Gretchen Mosher
Have you ever slipped on the ice? Or twisted your ankle? What about being engulfed in grain? Working in the grain industry can be dangerous, even fatal. Whether we consider what happens on the farm or at the factory, safety is critical. And agriculture is one of the most dangerous professions to work in. Thankfully there are people working to improve the safety of these systems. Today’s guest is Dr. Gretchen Mosher from Iowa State University. She works to improve safety, human interactions, and decision-making processes in the grain and feed industries. In fact, she even contributed a chapter on this topic to my recent book. If you are interested, it can be found here.
More about Gretchen and her work can be found at her faculty website at Iowa State University. She can be contacted at gamosher@iastate.edu. Thank you, Gretchen for a great conversation!
