Right. In industry, you'd need a confined space permit, lockout/tagout of any related machinery, a fall protection rig, and an outside watcher to go inside a grain silo. Standard industrial safety.

Farms with 10 employees or less are mostly exempt from OSHA regulations, by an act of Congress demanded by the agriculture industry.
