We have 20+ bins of corn. We turn on the fan, then crawl into EVERY one twice/month all winter, drag our feet around checking for a crust and using our nose--the smell of corn with a problem will be evident if you start the fan. We even have a special calendar that we use to keep track of the bins to make sure ALL get checked.
I would crawl in and level it off unless it was 14% or less when it went in.
I have unloaded dry corn from gov't bins thru the side door for 25 years and never had a problem. I don't use those old bins much anymore--for me the time and labor loading and unloading eats up any "free" storage advantage, by the time we go move the snow, set everything up, and them just have to tear down and haul everything to the next site every 3200 bu.
I cannot see what is unsafe about crawling into a bin that is not being unloaded
