Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program

U.S. workplace deaths remain a public health crisis, with over 5,000 annual fatalities concentrated in high-risk sectors like construction, transportation, and agriculture. To address this under the OSH Act, NIOSH runs the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program, a non-regulatory initiative providing safety guidance through independent, non-enforcement investigations. Structurally, FACE operates as a unified effort split into two distinct, complementary branches: a centralized, national In-House program run directly by NIOSH, and a decentralized network of State FACE programs funded via cooperative agreements. While both share common goals and methods, they differ significantly in their organizational structure, authority, influence, and how they implement findings locally across diverse regional industries. Together, they generate extensive prevention resources and adapt to emerging workplace hazards.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Parker, David L. AU - Wahl, George A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 62-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries he sustained when he fell from a silo. On the day of the incident, the victim and two other workers used a silo blower to blow silage into the silo. After the first wagon load of silage was emptied, the coworkers drove a tractor from the silo area to a field where another worker used a silage chopper to fill empty wagons. The victim remained at the silo and apparently climbed the ladder rungs of several previously installed silo doors while he carried another door to install in the next available door opening. He was wearing a pair of general purpose "tennis" type shoes at the time. He apparently lost his footing near the height of the opening where he intended to install the door, fell down the chute and landed on the concrete floor. When the coworkers returned with another wagon filled with silage, one of them entered the silo room and found the victim lying on the concrete floor. He immediately ran outside and told the other worker. He then ran to the farm house and told the victim's daughter to call emergency medical personnel. Rescue personnel arrived shortly after being notified and administered resuscitation efforts that were unsuccessful. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. whenever work is performed at an elevation where the potential for a fall exists, fall protection equipment should be used AB - 2. workers should ensure that devices used for climbing are stable and secure AB - and 3. workers should always wear footwear that is appropriate for the work environment.

He used a farm tractor and a large round baler to bale corn stalks in a harvested field. The baler had a pickup mechanism and a series of steel rollers that produced the bales. The pickup mechanism and the steel rollers were driven by an unshielded horizontal shaft that extended from a gear box in the center of the baler. The victim had produced two bales and was producing another bale when the pickup mechanism became clogged with stalks. The victim stopped the tractor and dismounted from it. The tractor engine was left running and the power-take-off was not disengaged. The victim walked to the area between the tractor and the baler and apparently tried to clear the clogged stalks. While in the area of the horizontal shaft that extended from the gear box, his clothing became entangled in the rotating shaft. One of his sons became concerned about his father's absence approximately ninety minutes after he arrived home from school. While he searched for his father, he noticed the tractor and baler in the corn field. He rode his bicycle into the field and discovered his father entangled in the baler. He climbed into the tractor cab and stopped the tractor's engine. He rode his bicycle home and placed a call to emergency medical personnel. Rescue personnel arrived at the scene shortly after being notified. They pronounced the victim dead at the scene prior to freeing him from the baler.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Barrett, Charles L. AU - Warren, Richard L. A2 - Indiana Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (Indiana FACE) A2 - Indiana. State Department of Health AB - On January 22, 1997, at approximately 10:30 a.m. a truck driver and spotter were trying to unload a trailer of cullet used in the manufacture of fiberglass insulation for private residences. The hydraulic system on the tractor that brought in the load of cullett did not work. Another tractor was brought in and was hooked up to the trailer load of cullet. Evidence indicates the trailer was parked under three energized power lines with the combined energy of 13,800 volts next to an electrical sub-station. The trailer, measuring 34 feet 8 inches long, was in the elevated position to dump the load of cullet and became entangled in the three power lines that were 27 feet above the ground. There was no over current protection for the three power lines. Upon contact with the power lines, the electrical energy melted the hydraulic box on the front of the trailer. The spotter at the rear of the truck got out of the way and the truck driver jumped free but still received an electrical shock. The ground was wet, and a fire was started at the left rear duals. The victim was in his office at the time of the incident. He grabbed an ABC fire extinguisher and ran outside and attempted to put the fire out. Evidence indicates at this time there was an electrical energy surge that electrocuted the victim. The company's emergency response team called 911 for the fire and police departments that arrived in a few minutes. The power and light company was notified of the incident, and it took several minutes before the lines could be de-energized. The FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar incidents employers should: 1. Ensure that barricades and barriers are installed to prevent accidental contact with energized lines or equipment. 2. Ensure that use of vehicles and other equipment in restricted or hazardous areas shall be controlled at all times by designated employees. 3. Provide an educational program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use.

The victim was walking away from the sweeper at the time of the incident. The vehicle had been parked at the top of an incline and rolled approximately 140 feet striking the victim and running over him. Nobody on the site saw the incident occur, but found the boy lying beneath the sweeper. Emergency response personnel were immediately called. The sweeper was lifted off the victim with a front end loader. The victim was unresponsive at the scene. He was transported to a nearby regional hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The MA FACE Director concluded that to prevent similar occurrences in the future, employers should: 1. Ensure that all defective vehicles be removed from service until repaired. 2. Ensure that only trained employees operate all vehicles. 3. Design, develop and implement a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to analysis and control of vehicle related hazards through use of a daily checklist. And also that: 4. Owners should not allow their children under 16 years of age on industrial or construction worksites. 5. Government agencies should increase their efforts to inform the public about child labor laws.

The forklift operator was attempting to lift a load which was too heavy for the forklift. After it first tipped forward , three coworkers got on the back of it to act as counterweight. It tipped forward again and the victim fell forward landing on his head and shoulder on a gravel surface. After the incident, he was bleeding from his nose and complained that his shoulder hurt. Emergency services were called and upon arrival transported the victim to the hospital where he later lost consciousness. He underwent surgery to relieve pressure from the brain. He never regained consciousness, was removed from a respirator 10 days later and died. The Nebraska Department of Labor investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences: 1. Employers and employees must ensure that unauthorized personnel do not ride on forklifts. 2. Employers and employees must ensure that forklifts are operated in accordance with manufacturer's operating procedures and that only loads within the rated capacity of the forklift are handled. 3. Employers should consider implementing a spot inspection program to ensure all employees are complying with safety requirements and develop and enforce consequences for noncompliance.

Division of Labor and Industry AB - A 50-year-old male operator died of crushing injuries, to the head, left shoulder and arm, when he became caught between bridle rollers of a hot dip coating line. There were no eye witnesses to the incident. It appears that the victim was wiping down rollers, an established practice when they observe defects on the metal being processed. This task is accomplished by tying a shop rag to the end of a broom handle and running it across the rollers, while the line is running. It is unknown how the victim became caught between the bridle rollers. The Cold Processor found the victim, who was looking for process defects reported by the Delivery Processor. As he was walking from the process entry section of the line, toward the end of the line, the Cold Processor saw the victim caught between #6 and #7 rollers of the #7 bridle. He immediately hit the emergency stop button. The victim fell backward out of the line. When the Turn Foreman arrived the victim had no pulse and was not breathing. The Medical Examiner pronounced the victim dead at the scene. The Maryland FACE Field Investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences employers should: 1. Shut down the process to clean the rollers. 2. Enforce lockout /tagout procedures. 3. Install barrier guards where personnel are exposed to in running rolls. 4. Develop a specific written procedure that permits cleaning of the rollers without placing the employee in a hazardous position.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Johnson, Wayne AU - Rautiainen, Risto A2 - Iowa Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (Iowa FACE) A2 - University of Iowa. College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - In the summer of 1996, a 35-year-old construction worker, who had been on the job only four days, died after being run over by an asphalt road-widening machine when it ran backwards over him. The man was part of a 9-man crew who were widening a state highway. The victim's job was to walk to the side and rear of the road widener, visually adjusting the machine's side-mounted spreader arm. The road-widening crew normally lays down two layers of asphalt: the machine moves slowly forward applying the first layer, then must back up to lay the second layer. After the first layer was applied, the victim apparently jumped on the machine as it was backing up, slipped off and was run over by the right front tire. Fresh asphalt on the bottom of his boots may have contributed to his fall. The machine weighed 40 tons and amputated his left leg and injured his hemipelvis. The man was flown to a regional hospital and had major complications of significant internal bleeding and cardiac arrest, and died nine days later. Recommendations based on our investigation are as follows: 1. Heavy equipment operators must always remain aware of the location of workers around their machines. 2. Operators must not permit riders on industrial equipment or vehicles that are not designed for passengers. 3.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 55-year-old farmer died while changing a tire on a planter. The man had been planting corn earlier in the day without problems, however, when moving the planter to another field, he noticed that the second road tire on the right side of the planter was flat. He stopped in a pasture and began to change the tire. He did not brace up the planter, nor use the mechanical safety catch adjacent to the hydraulic cylinder, which is designed to keep the cylinder extended during maintenance. He crawled under the planter and loosened the bolts on the wheel, but could not get it off. Then he tried to relieve ground pressure on the flat wheel by loosening the hydraulic fitting connected to the wheel hydraulic cylinder. He was obviously not aware that the hydraulic lines to both wheel cylinders were connected. He expected the outside wheel cylinder on that side of the planter to hold the machine up while he relieved ground pressure on the inside wheel. However when the hydraulic line fitting was off, hydraulic fluid immediately gushed out and the entire right side of the planter fell on the victim causing a fatal head injury. The man was killed instantly, but was not discovered until the next day by an employee of his farm. Recommendations following our investigation are: 1. Equipment parts supported by hydraulic systems must be mechanically blocked against motion during maintenance and service. 2. Hydraulic pressure must be relieved before working on any part of the hydraulic system. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - In April 1996, an Iowa farmer was killed while using a skid-steer loader to move earth along the edge of a field. He was using the front bucket to fill in a small waterway, working along the edge of the freshly plowed field. The right front wheel hit a depression while the left wheel hit a bump, and the machine rolled to the right side in a complete circle, landing upright in a small creekbed, with the victim slouched in the operator's seat. When the machine rolled, it crushed the man's head between the rollover protective structure (ROPS) side frame and the ground. The loader's original ROPS had been replaced with shorter side frames on both sides which provided no protection from the front, top and back of the machine. A local welder had modified the ROPS at the victim's request to accommodate the height of hog buildings where the machine was used (see photo). The farmer was not wearing his seatbelt, so when the machine rolled he was thrown partially up and out of the machine, sufficiently that his head was caught between the side frame and the ground. The victim's wife was an eyewitness to the event, and rushed to help him AB - however, the man was killed instantly from head injuries. Recommendations following our investigation are: 1. Owner-operators of skid-steer loaders should not modify factory-installed ROPS, nor alter other built-in safety devices. 2. Skid-steer loader operators should use the seatbelt or other alternate built-in restraint system at all times when operating the loader. 3. Owners and operators of skid-steer loaders should be made aware of the dangers related to the use of the machine, including overturn hazard.

Department of Health AB - A 30-year-old marina mechanic (victim) died of injuries he sustained when he fell from the roof of a storage building. He used a ladder to access the roof of the building to install weather stripping along the ridge of the roof. He was not wearing or using any type of personnel fall protection equipment. While he worked on the roof, two other employees worked in a nearby building. About one hour after the victim climbed onto the roof, it began to snow and the roof became slippery. The two coworkers noticed the falling snow and decided to check on the victim's progress installing the weather stripping. The victim told his coworkers that he was finished and that he was coming down from the roof. One of the coworkers told him to stay near the ridge of the roof while the coworkers got a rope to help him safely off of the roof. The coworkers obtained a rope and were approaching the building where the victim had been working when they saw him sliding down the roof. The victim slid off the edge of the roof and struck the ladder as he fell to the ground. The coworkers ran to the victim who was unconscious and not breathing. While one of them administered resuscitation efforts, the other ran to the marina office and placed a call to emergency medical personnel. They arrived at the scene shortly after being notified and transported the victim to a local hospital where he died approximately one hour later. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. whenever work is performed at an elevation where the potential for a fall exists, fall protection equipment should be used AB - and 2. employers should design, develop, and implement a comprehensive safety program.

Department of Health AB - On July 25, 1996, a 60-year-old male, special road district foreman (victim), died from multiple trauma after he was struck by an oil distributor truck at a rural county road chip-and-seal project. The victim was the job-site foreman of a four-man crew. They arrived at the incident site at the of intersection of two rural county roads. The victim led the crew to the work site. He was followed by the rock spreader machine and a dump truck loaded with the aggregate rock. Upon arrival at the work site the victim stopped his truck on the roadway and exited the driver's side door. He began walking behind the truck and toward the rock spreader. He was instructing the rock spreader operator that he wanted to begin the chip seal work in the area where he was standing. At that time the rock spreader operator saw the oil distributor truck rolling backwards and about to strike the victim. He attempted to warn the victim and began backing his rock spreader machine out of the path of the truck. The oil distributor truck struck and pinned the victim against the front of the rock spreader. The dump truck operator was then able to stop the truck and radioed in the emergency on the truck's two-way radio. Local Emergency Medical Services were was notified and responded. They transported the victim to the local trauma center where he was pronounced dead. The MO FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar occurrences all employers should: 1. ensure that all machine operators are trained and routinely briefed on the importance of setting the parking brakes any time the vehicle is left unattended AB - 2. develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in hazard recognition and avoidance.

Occupational Health Branch AB - Three oil field workers died after breathing carbon monoxide (CO) gas in an oil well cellar. The incident occurred during perforation, a procedure to create holes in the pipe in the well to allow the well to be used for water disposal. During the procedure, water began flowing from a valve in the well cellar. No plan had been prepared for actions by the workers in the event that this occurred. The first worker (decedent #1), a 22-year-old male, entered the well cellar to turn off the valve. Upon entering the area, he collapsed and fell into the cellar. A second worker (decedent #2), a 24-year-old male entered the cellar to assist decedent #1 but was also overcome and collapsed. A third worker (decedent #3), a 26-year-old male, was overcome while kneeling near the opening to the cellar and also fell in. The decedents, all employed by a well maintenance contractor, were not wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE) at the time of the incident. No confined space atmospheric testing was performed prior to entry into the well space by any of the workers. Workers from another contractor, that was performing the well perforation, went into the cellar and pulled the decedents out when they saw what had happened. None of the rescuers wore any type of PPE nor was any available for their use at the incident site. Fire department paramedics arrived on the scene shortly after the incident occurred and pronounced decedent #2 dead at the scene. The other two victims were transported to the hospital where they both were later pronounced dead. Four additional workers were hospitalized but survived the incident. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers and contractors should: 1. ensure that their Injury and Illness Prevention Programs (IIPP) effectively address all the present and potential hazards of their employees' worksites. 2. test the atmosphere of confined spaces before any employees are allowed entry. 3. if feasible, ventilate confined spaces so that employees are not exposed to hazardous air contaminants. 4. insure employees are provided and wear approved respiratory equipment when entering confined spaces where there is the presence or suspicion of harmful mists, fumes, or gases, or oxygen deficiency. 5. insure employees are provided and wear approved safety harnesses and lifelines when entering confined spaces not kept safe through forced air ventilation. train employees in rescue operations so that in the event of an emergency, workers understand the risks and how to safely avoid them and should provide and keep available equipment for rescue operations.

The installation of rain gutters was the final part of the project. The worker had been on the scaffold for 3 to 5 minutes before he fell to the asphalt pavement. It is unknown why the victim was not wearing fall protection at the time of the fall. Although the fall was not witnessed by any of the victim's coworkers, a worker on the opposite end of the scaffold noticed that the victim had fallen. A 911 call was placed to emergency rescue personnel who responded within minutes. The victim was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where he died six days later. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. whenever any work is performed at an elevation where the potential for a serious or fatal fall exists, the employer should ensure that fall protection equipment is provided and used by all employees AB - and 2. employers should design, develop, and implement a comprehensive safety program.

Department of Health AB - A 33-year-old male installer (victim) of a wireless cable TV service was electrocuted when the antenna mast he was raising/installing came into contact with a 7,200 volt overhead power line. Prior to the incident the victim had placed a ladder against the front of the home and had climbed to the roof to test for signal strength with a signal strength meter. It is believed that the victim could not get a signal of sufficient strength at this location from the wireless cable transmitter. He indicated to the property owner that he would raise the antenna to see if they could get any reception. The victim then assembled the mast and antenna and placed it on the ground perpendicular to the front of the house. There was a single-phase, 7,200-volt powerline that paralleled the front of the home. The line was located approximately 12 feet in front of the home and was approximately 21 feet above the ground. As he raised the mast to a vertical position he contacted the power line with the antenna portion of the unit. The MO FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, all employers should incorporate the following recommendations into their safety and health plans: 1. adopt company policies that comply with and emphasize state and federal statutory requirements for working at safe distances from all power lines AB - 2. develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training of employees in hazard recognition and avoidance, and safe work practices AB - 3. provide a program that introduces and enforces use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

Department of Health AB - A 52-year-old farmer (victim) died of injuries sustained when the tractor he was driving overturned. On the day of the incident, he used a farm tractor equipped with a front-end loader to move a large round hay bale. The tractor was not equipped with a general purpose enclosed cab or a rollover protective structure and a seat belt. The victim used the tractor and loader to pick up and haul a bale along a curved field road. While he backed the tractor counter-clockwise through a curve in the field road, the left rear wheel of the tractor traveled off of the surface of the road and entered the ditch. Because of the tilt of the tractor as the left wheel traveled into the ditch and the height of the loader and bale, the tractor overturned to the left side. It came to rest upside down in the grass covered field along the side of the driveway. The overturned tractor was discovered by the victim's brother who went to the farm yard and notified the victim's wife. After she called emergency medical personnel, they returned to the scene of the incident and began to administer resuscitation efforts. Rescue personnel arrived shortly after being notified and transferred the victim to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. all tractors should be equipped with a rollover protective structure and a seat belt AB - and 2. while in motion, tractors with loaders should be operated with the loader in the lowest possible position.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - California Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (CA/FACE) A2 - California. Department of Health Services. Occupational Health Branch AB - A 61-year-old male front-end loader operator (victim) died after being crushed by his loader. The front-end loader, which was equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS), was being used to move construction materials for recycling. The victim, who had not used the front-end loader before, had picked up a load of metal and was moving it to a large dumpster. When positioning the loader near the dumpster, the victim backed it too close to the edge of a 15-foot-deep excavation which was used as a ramp for loading materials into trucks. When the loader began to fall into the trench, witnesses observed him trying to jump from the cab into the clear. The operator fell into the bottom of the excavation and the loader fell on top of him. The operator had not been wearing his seatbelt before he jumped out of the cab. There was no operator manual in the cab and the company did not provide any training for the victim on the operation of the front-end loader. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent future occurrences, employers should: 1. Assure that ROPS equipped-backhoe operators stay in their machines, with their seatbelts fastened, when the backhoe may be in danger of falling or rolling over. 2. Assign an employee to traffic control where moving machinery must operate in confined areas. 3. Delineate the perimeter of excavations in areas where moving machinery must operate. 4. Train employees, including periodic refresher training, in the operation of machinery before they use it on the job. 5. Perform an initial hazard assessment of the job prior to beginning work. Additionally, manufacturers should: 6. Install seatbelt interlocks so that machines of this type cannot be started or operated without the seatbelt properly fastened.
