The specific certifications, permits, licenses, and regulatory compliance requirements within the United States for this industry.

• OSHA 10-Hour Construction Certification: This certification is required for all construction workers and supervisors in the US and covers safety and health hazards in the construction industry. The certification is provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
• National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) Trade Rules Compliance: The NGFA provides trade rules that govern the buying and selling of grain and feed products in the US. Compliance with these rules is necessary for businesses in the grain bins industry.
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 61: Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions in Agricultural and Food Processing Facilities: This standard provides guidelines for the prevention of fires and dust explosions in agricultural and food processing facilities, including grain bins.
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan: This plan is required for facilities that store oil or oil products in quantities greater than 1,320 gallons in aboveground containers or more than 42,000 gallons in underground containers. Grain bins may store oil or oil products, making this plan necessary.
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards: This guide provides information on the hazards of chemicals commonly used in the workplace, including in the grain bins industry. It is a useful resource for workers and employers to identify and mitigate chemical hazards.

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 236220-21 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The history of the Grain Bins industry dates back to the early 1900s when the first wooden grain bins were introduced. These bins were used to store and protect grain from pests and weather damage. In the 1930s, metal grain bins were introduced, which were more durable and could store larger quantities of grain. The industry continued to evolve with the introduction of concrete grain bins in the 1950s, which were even more durable and could store even larger quantities of grain. In recent years, the industry has seen advancements in technology, such as the use of sensors and automation to monitor and control the storage and distribution of grain. In the United States, the industry has seen growth due to the increasing demand for grain storage and the expansion of the agriculture industry.

The anticipated future trajectory of the NAICS 236220-21 industry in the USA, offering insights into potential trends, innovations, and challenges expected to shape its landscape.

• Growth Prediction: Growing

  The grain bin industry in the USA is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing demand for food storage and preservation. The industry is expected to benefit from the growing population and the need for food security. The use of technology in the industry is also expected to increase, with the development of new and innovative grain bin designs that are more efficient and cost-effective. The industry is also expected to benefit from the increasing demand for organic and non-GMO products, which require specialized storage facilities. However, the industry may face challenges such as increasing competition and the need to comply with environmental regulations.

Recent groundbreaking advancements and milestones in the Grain Bins industry, reflecting notable innovations that have reshaped its landscape.

• Smart Grain Bins: These are grain bins that are equipped with sensors and other technologies that allow farmers to monitor the temperature, humidity, and other conditions inside the bin remotely. This helps farmers to prevent spoilage and other problems that can occur during storage.
• Solar-Powered Grain Bins: These are grain bins that are powered by solar panels, which reduces the need for electricity and lowers operating costs.
• Grain Bin Safety Systems: These are systems that are designed to prevent accidents and injuries during the loading and unloading of grain bins. They include safety cages, ladders, and other features that make it easier and safer for workers to access the bins.
• Grain Bin Ventilation Systems: These are systems that are designed to improve air flow and reduce moisture inside the bin, which helps to prevent spoilage and other problems.
• Grain Bin Aeration Systems: These are systems that are designed to circulate air through the grain, which helps to maintain the quality of the grain and prevent spoilage.
