Abstract
PRO‑DAIRY’s new Manure Gas Safety Technical Guide provides farmers and farm workers with clear, science‑based steps to recognize and prevent dangerous gas exposures in manure storage and other confined spaces. The guide explains hazards such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane and outlines proper atmospheric testing, ventilation and use of multi‑gas meters. It also details OSHA‑aligned confined‑space entry procedures and includes a full example permit. By translating complex safety standards into practical guidance, PRO‑DAIRY strengthens on‑farm safety and helps protect agricultural workers from life‑threatening manure gas incidents.
