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 A2 - California Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (CA/FACE) A2 - California. Department of Health Services AB - A 32-year-old male transportation coordinator (the victim) died after a large wind machine (fan) fell from a hydraulic lift gate of a stakebed truck and crushed him. The victim and a co-worker were transporting the fan from one film location to another for a movie production company. The co-worker was on the bed of the truck pushing a cart loaded with the 1,500-pound fan to the edge of the truck's lift gate. The victim was standing on the pavement at the back of the truck reaching up to steady the fan. When the fan reached the edge of the lift gate, the front wheels of the fan cart went over the edge of the lift gate, the victim slipped and fell, and the fan then fell on him. His co-worker called for help and he and several other workers lifted the fan from the victim. Paramedics were summoned to the scene and the victim was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent future occurrences employers and employees should: 1. develop and enforce a comprehensive written Illness and Injury Prevention Program (IIPP) which describes in detail the methods, procedures, and rules for materials handling, specifically loading and unloading materials and equipment at site locations 2. insure employees use appropriate equipment when moving materials and/or equipment 3. make certain that the work surface is safe when heavy loads are to be loaded, unloaded, or moved 4. verify that personal tools and equipment used on the job meet safety regulations and are suitable for the task.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - New Jersey Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Project (NJ FACE) A2 - New Jersey. Department of Health and Senior Services. Occupational Health Service AB - On February 28, 1996, a 25-year-old tree trimmer was electrocuted when he contacted a 7,600-volt overhead power line while clearing a loose branch from a tree. The incident occurred at a private home where the company had just finished removing a tree from the back yard. The crew had completed the job and was beginning to clean the site when they noticed a loose branch hanging from a neighbor's tree. Using a climbing harness, the victim tied onto the ball of a crane line and was raised up to the hanging branch, which he cut down. As he was being lowered to the ground, the victim noticed a second loose branch hanging on another tree. The victim had started to swing toward the branch while on the crane line when he contacted a primary power line and was electrocuted. NJ FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Employers should ensure that a minimum clearance of 10 feet is maintained between cranes and energized power lines. 2. Employers should ensure that crane operators are properly trained before using the machinery. 3. Employers and employees should read and follow the recommendations in the attached NIOSH Alert: Preventing Electrocutions of Crane Operators and Crew Members Working Near Overhead Power Lines. 4. Employers should conduct a job hazard analysis to identify and correct potential hazards prior to starting work. 5. Employers and employees should be aware of the dangers of drugs and other substances that may impair judgement or alertness. 6. Employers should be aware of educational and training resources for health and safety information.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Wisconsin Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (Wisconsin FACE) A2 - Wisconsin. Division of Public Health. Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 68-year-old male dairy farmer (the victim) died after he was run over by a tractor. He had been driving the tractor in a hayfield with a PTO-powered round baler attached when the baler jammed. The event was unwitnessed, but it appears that he stopped the tractor on the downward slope of a hillside, turned the PTO off, left the tractor running with the transmission in neutral, and dismounted the tractor. The victim may have been reaching for a walking cane he kept next to the tractor seat when the tractor began to roll downhill. Apparently, the left rear wheel dragged him for 15-20 feet before running over his chest. When the farmer failed to return to the farmhouse at the end of the day, his wife drove to the field where he had been working and found him lying unresponsive on the hillside. She attempted CPR, then called for emergency services. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The tractor with the round baler attached was found at the bottom of the hill, with the engine still running. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, farmers and farm workers should: 1. Shift the tractor into park, set the brakes and turn off the engine before dismounting from the tractor. For tractors without a park position, farmers should shift into neutral, set the brakes and turn off the engine before dismounting. 2. Seek and use the services of organizations and agencies that provide technical assistance and/or adaptive equipment to agricultural workers with disabling conditions.

Department of Health AB - A 50-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when he became entangled in the unloading beaters of a forage wagon. On the day of the incident, the victim was cleaning pieces of bark from the wagon that was used during the winter months to store cut firewood. It was equipped with a power-take-off driven unloading mechanism that operated three unloading beaters mounted across the front of the wagon. The victim hooked the forage wagon to the drawbar of a farm tractor and drove onto a field driveway near the farm yard. He connected the wagon's power-take-off shaft to the tractor and engaged the tractor's power-take-off to remove bark and debris from the wagon. While inside the wagon, he contacted the rotating unloading beaters and became entangled in them. The tractor's engine was idling at a slow speed and stopped when the victim became entangled. Approximately 45 minutes after the victim began to clean the wagon, he was discovered by his son. A 911 phone call was immediately made to emergency medical personnel. They arrived shortly after being notified and removed the victim from the wagon. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead by the attending physician. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. operators should turn off the engine and remove the key before dismounting from a tractor AB - 2. operators should disengage the power-take-off before dismounting from a tractor AB - and 3. operators should not wear loose-fitting clothing near or while operating machines.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Massachusetts Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Project (Massachusetts FACE) A2 - Massachusetts. Department of Public Health AB - On May 30, 1995, a 31 year old male iron worker fell approximately twenty-four and one-half feet from the structural steel framework of a 113,000 square foot shopping complex construction site. At the time of the incident, the victim and a co-worker were standing on an outer perimeter steel beam in an attempt to land several bundles of steel bar joists suspended overhead by crane. During this task, the middle bundle of eight bar joists broke free and fell upon the victim knocking him from the framework to the ground below, showering him with the bar joists weighing approximately 450 pounds each. Suffering catastrophic injuries, the victim was soon transported to the regional medical center where he was officially pronounced dead approximately one hour following the incident. To prevent future similar occurrences, the FACE Program concluded that employers should: 1. Ensure that rigging slings are the sufficient size, strength and material to prevent failure. 2. Avoid the practice of lifting multiple loads known as "Christmas treeing." 3. Design, develop and implement a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in recognition and control of hazards in steel erection.

Department of Health AB - A 66-year-old male farmer (victim) suffocated after he was engulfed in corn inside a steel grain bin. The bin was equipped with an unloading auger mounted between a raised steel floor and the concrete base that supported the bin. It was also equipped with a ventilation fan designed to aerate the stored grain by circulating air through it. The fan was not turned on at the time of the incident. The victim and a semi-truck driver removed corn from the bin when they noticed that the flow of corn from the unloading auger was decreasing. They thought the reduced flow was caused by clumps of frozen grain blocking the auger intake in the bin floor. The victim climbed a ladder to an access opening in the bin roof. He entered the bin with a steel pipe to push through the corn to the auger intake. Apparently after he pushed the pipe into the corn, he broke the frozen grain blocking the auger intake. The flow of corn into the auger suddenly increased and he was quickly engulfed in the flowing grain. Approximately fifteen minutes after the victim entered the bin, the driver placed a call to emergency personnel who arrived shortly after being notified. Approximately ninety minutes after they arrived, rescue personnel removed the victim from the bin and transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. all equipment used to fill or empty a grain bin should be stopped, and the power source locked out, before workers enter the bin AB - 2. workers should follow established confined space entry procedures when entering grain bins AB - 3. grain bins should be identified as confined spaces and posted with hazard warning signs at all entrances AB - and 4. grain bin ventilation fans should be turned on and operating properly before workers enter bins which are either full or partially full.

State Department of Health AB - On June 5, 1996, a 42-year-old male (the victim) employed as a material handler at an aluminum wheel manufacturing company, died instantly after being struck by a mold envelope which was dropped from a forklift. The victim had parked his forklift out of the aisle and had gotten down to talk to a co-worker. The victim then stepped out from behind a rack of aluminum wheels (called a tree) as a forklift was coming around the corner with its load. The forklift was carrying a mold envelope containing two half-moon shaped molds in cradles. The mold envelope was 59" wide, 35" deep, and 50" high. The combined weight of mold envelope and mold components was 4368 pounds. The victim walked into the aisle with his back turned away from the oncoming forklift. Evidence suggests the forklift operator slammed on the brakes causing the forklift to pitch forward allowing the mold envelope to slide off the forks striking the victim and killing him instantly. The forklift operator jumped off the truck and with the help of several co-workers removed the mold envelope from the victim. The emergency medical service (EMS), police, and the county coroner were called. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner. The FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents employers should: 1. Ensure that workers continually adhere to the safe work procedures that have been established by the employer. 2. Ensure that if the load being carried obstructs forward view, the operator shall be required to travel with the load trailing. 3. Ensure all traffic regulations be observed, including authorized plant speed limits.

Department of Health AB - A 42-year-old male industrial worker (the victim) died after being crushed by a soft drink palletizer lift. The palletizer fills pallets with cases of beverages. The palletizer's rollers and turn tables are equipped with photo-electric sensors that cause the palletizer to automatically shut down if a light beam is broken. The hazardous areas of the palletizer are positioned behind safety screens. Access to the hazardous areas of the palletizer was possible by use of an interlocking gate, located near the lift section of the palletizer. If the gate was opened during operation, the palletizer would automatically shut down. Access was also possible by removal of two safety chains across an opening located near the beginning of the palletizer process. At some point during the process, the palletizer shut down automatically. The victim investigated and discovered that a layer of cases had been deposited on a pallet, but the lift had not lowered it far enough for the next layer. He left the palletizer in the automatic mode, removed the safety chains, and climbed over the pallet conveyors to an area directly under the lift. The victim removed a piece of debris that had been blocking one of the photo-electric sensors and the lift immediately descended on top of him. A coworker discovered the victim and called a company emergency response team. A 911 call was placed and emergency medical personnel responded. The victim was removed from underneath the lift and transported 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. employers should ensure that employees access restricted production areas only by means of interlocking safety doors or gates AB - 2. employers should ensure employees shut down equipment when they need to access restricted hazardous production areas AB - and 3. employers should design, develop, and implement a comprehensive safety program.

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 - A 65 year old man working for a farmer during harvest was unloading a gravity flow wagon of corn into a partially unguarded floor hopper. His right leg was caught in the auger at the bottom of the hopper, severing his leg in the mid-thigh region. The man was found lying unconscious next to the hopper with significant bleeding. The auger was still running at the time he was found by the farmer's mother. A chewed up broom handle was found next to him. The two foot wide floor hopper was covered with grating made of steel bars allowing vehicles to ride over the hopper. Nine of these bars were removed during the time of the incident, leaving an 18 inch section of the auger exposed. The auger consists of two sections AB - an open U-shaped horizontal section at the bottom of the floor hopper and a closed inclined section leading to the vertical conveyor outside the building. Since the wagon was empty, it appears that he was finishing the unloading, and possibly sweeping up spilled corn on the floor when his foot slipped into the uncovered hopper and was caught by the moving auger. The man was familiar with the equipment and procedures for unloading, having performed this job several times that season and the year before when this grain facility was built. He had worked part time for the past 4 years for the farmer. First responders were notified and arrived within a few minutes, but rescue efforts were ineffective due to the large amount of blood loss. The man was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Recommendations based on our investigation are as follows: 1. Workers should not remove protective grates or shields from augers or other conveying equipment while the equipment is in operation. 2. Conveying equipment should be constructed to avoid clogging and operate with minimal cleaning. 3. Employers should ensure that employees have adequate training and supervision to work safely.

Occupational Health Service AB - On January 15, 1996, a 57-year-old day laborer was critically injured after falling 30 feet through a plastic dome fire-vent while working on a warehouse roof. The victim and 16 other workers had been hired as temporary laborers to shovel snow from the roof of a large warehouse following a blizzard. On the roof were a number of plastic-domed fire-vents, which closely resemble skylights but are designed to melt away in a fire and allow smoke to escape from the building. At about 1:40 p.m. on their third day of work, the laborers were shoveling snow when the victim decided to take a break. He sat down on the edge of one of the fire-vents, which collapsed under his weight. The victim went through the plastic dome, falling 30 feet to the warehouse floor below. He was airlifted to the local trauma center, where he died of his injuries the next day. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Read and follow the recommendations in the attached publication, NIOSH Alert: Preventing Worker Deaths and Injuries From Falls Through Skylights and Roof Openings. 2. Be aware of the OSHA regulations requiring the guarding of fire-vents and other roof openings.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Kentucky Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (KY FACE) A2 - University of Kentucky. College of Public Health. Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center AB - A 36-year-old male was killed while he was attempting to remove barbed wire that had become entangled in the blades of a rotary mower. Although he was a full-time pharmaceutical sales representative, he leased 1,000 acres of farmland to rent to others for hunting purposes. Just prior to the incident he had purchased half of the property. As he was mowing the property using a tractor and rotary mower, the blades became entangled with barbed wire. He stopped working for the day and returned the next afternoon about 2:00 pm to remove the wire. The victim had shut off the tractor, gotten underneath the center deck of the mower, and attempted to remove the wire with wirecutters, when the mower came down and entrapped him. There were no witnesses to the incident. A visiting neighbor discovered the victim lying underneath the mower at 3:30 pm. An oil well attendant who was also on the property called 911 with his cellular phone. In order to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future, the FACE investigator recommends that: 1. operators of older equipment should not rely on hydraulic systems for support, and should either use cylinder stops or hold the equipment up with solid blocks 2. operators should be familiar with farm equipment maintenance procedures before attempting maintenance work.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - The victim was working for a construction company at a warehouse site at the time that the incident occurred. The construction company had been subcontracted to erect the steel framework for a 100,000-square-foot warehouse manufacturing facility. The warehouse frame was constructed mainly of vertical steel columns, horizontal "I" beams, and bar joists. On the day of the incident, the victim was "shaking out bridging." The activity involved the distribution of 20 foot long metal pieces. After the bridging was distributed it was to be welded to the bar joists to keep them secured in place. At the time of the incident, columns which supported "I" beams and bar joists were positioned along the warehouse frame. The victim was working on top of the "I" beams and bar joists at an elevation of 28 feet. Witnesses reported that prior to falling, the victim had been wearing a body harness attached to a lanyard and a lifeline. The lifeline was secured to the structural steel. While the victim distributed the bridging, he fell from his position on the "I" beam where he was working. It is unknown why the victim was not attached to the lifeline at the time of the fall. Emergency medical personnel were called and the victim was transported to a hospital where he died thirteen days later. MN FACE investigators concluded that 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.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Kentucky Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (KY FACE) A2 - University of Kentucky. College of Public Health. Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center AB - A 79-year-old farmer (the victim) was killed while driving his tractor. He had been a full-time farmer who lived alone and farmed on the 136-acre land nearly all of his life AB - the main commodity was beef cattle. As was his usual practice, he was working alone on the day of the incident. Every evening he had dinner with his two sisters who lived in a house on the same property about 50 yards from his home. When he did not show up for the evening meal, they went out to look for him. They found that he had taken the tractor out on the property, most likely to check the fence line. Tire tracks through the grass showed that he had been driving the tractor along a ridge when, for an unknown reason, the tractor went off the path and down the slope to the left into a grassy meadow area. The tractor continued down the incline about 300 feet then turned uphill about 30 feet before coming to a stop. Upon arriving at the scene they found the tractor remained in fifth gear with the ignition on, but the engine had cut off. The victim was found lying on the ground in front of the tractor's right rear wheel AB - his right bootlace was caught around the brake pedal. His injuries and the condition of his clothes suggest that he was thrown to the right side of the tractor and had been dragged although not runover. The victim was not wearing a seatbelt. Rescue squads were called and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. In order to prevent similar incidents from occurring, FACE recommends: 1. Wear a seatbelt when operating a tractor 2. Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing when working near machinery.

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 30-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when he became entangled in the unloading beaters of a silage feed wagon. The wagon was equipped with a power-take-off drive mechanism that operated three unloading beaters mounted across the front of the wagon. The beaters broke apart the load of silage as two apron chains on the wagon floor moved the load to the front of the wagon. While using the wagon to feed cattle on the day of the incident, one of the apron chains broke. Since the wagon was nearly empty when the chain broke, the victim parked the wagon and continued with other farm activities. Later that day, the victim decided to completely empty the wagon to prevent the silage from freezing to the wagon floor. He drove the tractor and wagon into a cattle lot and entered the wagon with a shovel. While he shoveled the silage from the wagon, he apparently stepped backward into the rotating unloading beaters. The tines of the top beater caught the victim's coveralls and pulled him backward over the top of it and against the front wall of the silage wagon. Approximately forty-five minutes after the victim began to empty the remaining silage from the wagon, his father entered the cattle lot and discovered him entangled in the unloading beaters. He ran to a farm building and notified a neighbor who had been helping at the farm that day. A call was immediately made to emergency medical personnel. They arrived shortly after being notified and completed the removal of the victim which had already been started. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead by the county coroner. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. operators should turn off the engine and remove the key before dismounting from a tractor AB - 2. operators should disengage the power-take-off before dismounting from a tractor AB - and 3. operators should not wear loose-fitting clothing near or while operating machines.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - California Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (CA/FACE) A2 - California. Department of Health Services AB - A 45-year-old white, male owner/operator truck driver (victim) died after being run over by the front wheel of a grader at a construction dump site. The victim was attempting to dump the dirt from his double trailer rig. His rear trailer failed to dump so that when the front trailer dumped, he became stuck in his own windrow (mound of dirt). The victim got out of his tractor to attempt to make a field repair of the rear bottom-dump trailer which had failed to open. While working on his rig, a grader pulled up behind the tractor/trailer combination to push it out of the way. The grader operator did not see the truck driver who was hidden behind the full-width mud flaps along the back of the rear trailer. The truck driver had failed to set his parking brakes, so the grader operator was able to push the tractor trailer rig about 250 yards. A laborer noticed the body of the victim lying in the dirt well behind the grader. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent future occurrences, employers should: 1. Assure that truck drivers stay in their trucks when stuck at a dump site and wait to be pushed clear of the danger area. 2. Make certain that operators of heavy construction equipment locate the driver of trucks or other equipment to be sure they are clear of the danger area before attempting a pushing operation. 3. Require truck drivers or equipment operators to wear high visibility garments when they get out of or off of their vehicles in hazardous traffic areas.
