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 63-year-old white, male iron worker foreman (victim) died after falling 43 feet from a catwalk to the concrete floor of a military aircraft hangar while moving some welding cables. The victim was lowering the welding cables to the floor by draping them over the edge of the catwalk. The victim was not wearing any fall protection equipment and was not tied off to the existing catenary line (lifeline). He had climbed under the catenary line to gain access to the edge of the catwalk. His co-worker noticed the victim leaning out too far and attempted to grab him before he fell but could not reach him. No hazard assessment of the job was performed nor was the victim given any fall prevention training by the company, a sub-contractor. The general contractor did not review the sub-contractor's safety procedures prior to allowing them to begin work. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. Assure employees have and use proper fall protection equipment with which to tie off when working at heights requiring fall protection. 2. Provide safe access to heights by use of aerial lifts or other appropriate means when heavy or bulky equipment or materials must be moved. 3. Train employees, including periodic refresher training, to be aware of and understand the hazards of the job. 4. Perform an initial hazard assessment of the job prior to beginning work. 5. Thoroughly review and approve all sub-contractor's safety plans and procedures to assure they meet the requirements of the specific tasks to performed.

The victim was walking along the top of the bent cap carrying a bucket of used bolts back to the manlift basket when he apparently stumbled and fell. The victim was wearing a safety belt which had "D" rings located at each hip. Both ends of his lanyard were clipped into one of the "D" rings when his body was found. There was no catenary line or other fall protection on the bent cap. The policy was for the workers to clip the one end of their lanyard into a "D" ring and the other end onto one of the existing structural steel members, but only when working, not when moving along the top of the bent cap. The victim's co-workers heard the clatter of bolts dropping and discovered that he had fallen. The victim had no specific fall protection training, and no initial hazard assessment of the job site was performed. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. Assure employees have and use proper personal fall arrest equipment when working at heights requiring fall protection. 2. Provide appropriate fall protection such as catenary lines, railings or scaffolding for employees working at heights. 3. Perform an initial hazard assessment of the job prior to beginning work. 4.

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 64-year-old male (the victim) was killed while unloading logs at a sawmill. Since retiring from the mining industry several years ago, he had been working part-time driving a semi-trailer truck owned by a logger. As was his usual practice, the victim drove the truck alone, and on the day of the incident hauled a large load of logs on the trailer bed. The logs were approximately 12 inches in diameter and 20-25 feet long. Stakes on the sides of the trailer bed were four feet high AB - witnesses reported that the logs were stacked approximately four feet higher than the stakes. Drivers are not required to check in upon arrival, and the sawmill has no guidelines in place for unloading procedures. The victim arrived about 9:00 am and began the unloading procedure before any employees of the mill came to assist. Each stack of logs on the truck was bound by two chains having one-inch links, which were rusted and in poor condition. The victim unhooked the chain nearest the front of the truck. As he began releasing the second chain, the load of logs shifted and the chain broke. Three logs rolled off the truck and struck the victim. Although the incident was unwitnessed, an employee of the mill who was working in the yard at the time heard an unusual sound and looked over to find the victim on the ground. Emergency medical services (EMS) were called to the scene immediately and the victim was pronounced dead at 9:45 am. In order to prevent similar incidents from occurring, FACE investigators recommend: 1. The height of the stack of logs should not exceed the height of the standards on the truck 2. Routine safety inspections should be made to ensure that equipment is in proper condition 3. Written policies should be in place regarding unloading procedures for loggers at the mill, and the policies should be enforced by mill owners 4. Loggers and log-truck drivers should attend the Master Logger Program 5. Lawmakers should consider initiating regulations to limit the height of log stacks on vehicles traveling on public roadways.

The victim was a member of a crew logging a 50-acre tract of swampland. The victim and another operator were operating dual-tire skidders, dragging the logs to the landing to be loaded onto trucks. The victim hauled three logs to the landing, and was preparing to unhook the choker from the third log when the incident occurred. The victim left the cab of the skidder and stepped onto the right-rear dual-wheels of the skidder and jumped down to the logs. The second skidder operator, 100 yards away, saw the victim slip and fall into the water trying to climb back up the skidder tire. When the second operator saw that the victim did not stand up, he drove his skidder toward the victim. Due to deep water and heavy brush in the swamp, it took the second operator approximately five minutes to reach the victim. When he reached the victim, he pulled him up on a log and initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The job foreman signaled the loader operator to call 911 from the company truck, then assisted with the CPR. The emergency medical service arrived within 15 minutes and called the county coroner.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Brown, Margee AU - Parker, David L. A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - Two employees of a commercial steam heat supplier died of injuries they sustained when a steam line they were repairing was re-energized. The day before the incident, the two victims and a coworker went to an underground vault to investigate a steam leak. They suspected that the leak was from a flange in a steam line that served as an interconnect line between two steam generation facilities. The next morning, they told the facility 1 operator that they were going to facility 2 to shut down the leaking steam line before repairing it. At facility 2 they closed two control valves to isolate the leak in vault A. They did not lockout and tagout either of the control valves. After closing the valves, they drove to the site of the leak and began to mechanically ventilate the vault. While the vault was being ventilated, they went to vault B and closed a second isolation valve. They returned to the site of the leak (vault A) and entered the vault after the steam was cleared from it. They confirmed that the leak was due to a defective flange gasket and disassembled the steam line flange. The repair task was slowed for several hours since the workers initially did not have the correct size wrenches for the flange bolts. They were also delayed when the disassembled line became misaligned as it cooled. Because of the delays and the need for alignment pins to reassemble the line, the workers stopped for lunch and returned in the afternoon to finish the repair. When the workers returned, the two victims entered vault A while the coworker remained above ground near the entry to the vault. While the two victims realigned the steam line flanges, the facility 2 operator started a boiler in preparation for a boiler test. He contacted the facility one operator to determine the status of the steam line repair work. He apparently understood that the repair work had been finished and that the interconnect line could safely be re-energized to provide additional steam for the boiler test. A facility 2 maintenance engineer opened both control valves and released steam into the interconnect line and the vault where the two victims were working. Both victims were able to escape from the vault within seconds after the steam entered the vault. The coworker who had been outside the vault, called facility 1 by radio and requested immediate emergency medical assistance. Both victims were transported to a local hospital where one of them died approximately one week later and the other died three weeks later. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. employers should develop, implement and enforce a written safety program which includes task-specific training and lockout/tagout procedures AB - and 2. employers should ensure that when more than one employee is exposed to hazardous energy, a procedure is in place for group lockout/tagout.

Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - A 27-year-old man working as a welder died after being pinned under a 3 ton, 65-foot-long steel roof truss in South Carolina. The victim had worked for a steel erection company for one and a half weeks prior to the accident. The company was contracted to fabricate and erect steel roof trusses for the roof of an airplane hangar. Trusses had been cut in half for shipment to the site. At the work site, 12 trusses had been welded and placed on support beams for the roof of the hangar. One half of a truss was being lifted with a crane. When the crane cable contained enough slack, the victim loosened the chokers and slid them outwards toward the truss ends. The truss half tipped and fell toward him, pinning him against a pile of tubular steel. He was pronounced dead at the scene AB - his death was due to massive crushing chest injuries. It was recommended that materials being lifted or positioned by a crane or other lifting machine be supported at all times, that access and egress routes at a work site be free from unnecessary materials, and that ways to perform all tasks be evaluated during pre-job planning to arrive at the safest work environment.

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 72-year-old farmer (victim) died from injuries he sustained when he was attacked and injured by a bull. The bull was kept in a barn and an adjoining cattle lot and pasture. On the day of the incident, the victim and a farm worker discussed the need to repair a water tank located in the pasture. Before working on the water tank, they worked separately doing a variety of farm chores. When the farm worker finished the tasks she was doing, she walked past the barn to enter the lot and pasture where she believed the victim had already gone to repair the water tank. While still outside the fenced lot and pasture, she looked for but could not see him near the water tank. She looked around and noticed the bull standing near the victim who was laying face down near the barn. She yelled for help from a local veterinarian who had arrived at the farm a few minutes before the victim was discovered. The veterinarian placed a call to emergency personnel who arrived at the scene shortly after they were notified. They reached the victim after the bull was secured in a pen in the barn. Resuscitation efforts were performed on the victim while he was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. workers should exercise caution whenever they are working with or near farm animals AB - and 2. whenever possible, workers should move and isolate animals from livestock areas before work is performed in those areas.

Department of Health AB - The victim was alone at the time that the incident occurred. This report is based upon a review of a written sheriff's department report, and a review of their photos of the incident site. A 53-year-old farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when he was run over by a tractor and a stalk chopper. The tractor was equipped with an enclosed rollover protective structure cab and a seatbelt. The victim began chopping stalks in a harvested corn field on the day of the incident. The tractor was operated with the transmission in sixth gear and the throttle at it's highest speed position. After he had been working for several hours, he arrived at one end of the field with the tractor and chopper. At the end of the field, the victim apparently was either thrown from or fell from the tractor. The tractor and chopper continued to travel in a circular pattern across an adjoining field and the field where the victim had been working. The tractor eventually traveled into a neighbors farm yard and collided with a partially disassembled combine. The farm owner heard the collision, investigated and discovered the tractor lodged on the combine. The farmer called emergency personnel who arrived shortly after being notified. They stopped the tractor and followed the path left in the fields by the chopper. They discovered the victim at the location where he apparently either fell or was thrown from the tractor. He was pronounced dead by medical personnel at the scene. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. tractor operators should maintain safe operating speeds at all times AB - and 2. tractor operators should use seatbelts when operating tractors equipped with a rollover protective structure and a seatbelt.

Department of Health AB - The victim was alone at the time that the incident occurred. This report is based on a review of a written sheriff's department report, and a review of their photos of the incident site. A 36-year-old farmer (victim) died after he became entangled in a tractor mounted snow blower. The two stage snow blower consisted of a horizontal auger and a multi-blade discharge fan. The horizontal auger extended the full width of the blower. It was driven by a horizontal shaft that extended from a gear box in the center of the blower to a drive sprocket on one side of the blower. The victim stopped the tractor near a farm building and dismounted from it. The tractor engine was left running and the power-take-off was not disengaged. The victim walked to an area near a drive chain and sprockets on the right side of the blower. While he was in the vicinity of the chain and sprockets, the right sleeve of his coveralls became entangled in one of the sprockets. He was pulled against the blower and was unable to free himself as his clothing wrapped around the shaft and sprocket. A neighbor discovered the victim entangled in the snow blower. He immediately stopped the tractor engine and called emergency personnel. They arrived shortly after being notified, removed the victim and pronounced him dead at the scene. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. operators should disengage the power-take-off before dismounting from a tractor AB - 2. operators should turn off the engine and remove the key before dismounting from a tractor AB - and 3. operators should not wear loose-fitting clothing near 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 November 10, 1995 a 51 year old male construction machine operator/mechanic was fatally injured when his clothing was caught in the stone crushing machine he was cleaning. The victim, who had been operating the machine all day, had shut down one of two conveyors and proceeded to clean out the bottom small particle chute of the machine. Leaning into the chute while raking out the residue, his hooded sweatshirt was caught in an overhead axle and he became trapped. Co-workers were unable to extricate the victim from the machine until police and fire rescue workers arrived. The victim suffered severe trauma to the face, head and chest, and was unconscious. He was transported to the local city emergency room where he was pronounced dead. The MA FACE Program concluded that to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that all cleaning and maintenance of machinery takes place while power to the machine is completely shut down using lockout/tagout procedures. 2. Ensure that equipment is properly guarded to prohibit entry into working parts of the machinery. 3. Ensure that all equipment has properly marked and accessible emergency shutoffs and that all personnel are acquainted with their location and operation. 4. Develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, worker training in controlling the health and safety hazards of heavy equipment. 5. Not allow employees to wear loose clothing, such as hooded sweatshirts, when working around unguarded moving or rotating parts of machinery.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Report A2 - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - The case of a sheet metal mechanic who fell to his death during the removal and installation of a church roof was examined. The victim was involved in activities consisting of removing screws anchoring existing metal roof panels. The panels and underlying insulation were then removed and replaced with new insulation and a new roof panel. The new roof panels were smaller than the ones being removed, resulting in open spaces with exposed insulation around the work area. The accident occurred as the victim stepped backward into an area covered only by insulation. He fell 23 feet onto the hardwood church floor below. He was found breathing and other crew members went immediately to his aid. Emergency medical service workers arrived within 10 minutes, but the victim was pronounced dead of a skull fracture at the hospital 1 hour later. The employer had a written safety policy and program which were reviewed with all employees upon hire. It was suggested that a hazard evaluation be performed prior to the start of any work at new work sites, that fall protection equipment be provided and used by all employees when work is performed from elevations with the potential for falls, and that employees be trained in the recognition of hazards and methods of hazard control such as the use of appropriate safety equipment.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 76-year-old farmer, working alone, was killed when his tractor ran over him. He was combining corn and had just hooked up a grain wagon to his tractor. While climbing into his tractor cab, he apparently slipped and reached out accidentally grabbing the gear shift lever in the cab, jamming the lever into first gear. The tractor lurched forward and the farmer fell off the steps of the tractor and was run over by the left rear wheel of the tractor, killing him instantly. The tractor had been left in neutral and not in park while the farmer hooked up the wagon. From the neutral position it was easy for the man to jam the lever into first gear without using the clutch. It was quite muddy that day and the farmer was wearing a pair of old tennis shoes which may have been a factor in the accident. The tractor continued moving forward in first gear and crashed into other grain wagons at the edge of the field. The victim was found by a farmhand, dead from obvious head injuries. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Tractor transmissions should always be put in park before dismounting to hook up equipment or make adjustments. 2. Control levers should have proper knobs on their ends to facilitate comfortable movement. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

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 51-year-old Hispanic male laborer (victim) died after being trapped in soil up to his neck as a result of a trench that caved-in. The victim was digging out the bottom of the trench in order to lay a pipe. There was water in the bottom of the trench from ground water collection. No trench box was used, and the trench was not shored, benched, or sloped. The soil had been previously disturbed, and no initial hazard assessment had been done. The victim and another laborer who was in the trench noticed that the wall was collapsing and were running for the ladder at the end of the trench when the west wall caved in. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent future occurrences, employers should: 1. Assure that the sides of all excavations are shored, laid back to a stable slope, or provided with other equivalent protection where employees may be exposed to moving ground or cave-ins. 2. Have a competent person frequently inspect excavations in which the soil was previously disturbed or where there are variations in the moisture content of the soil, loading due to equipment or stored materials, or vibration from equipment or traffic. 3. Train employees, including periodic refresher training, to be aware of and understand the hazards of the job. 4. Perform an initial hazard assessment of the job prior to beginning work and when there is a situation change that presents different hazards.

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 44-year-old farmer was killed when his jacket became entangled on the protruding metal shaft of a feed bin auger. The victim was atop the feed bin, trying to unclog feed from the auger by beating on the tin cylinder through which the feed passed into the bin. The feed had become clogged at this point several times in the past, and the victim had performed this task on those occasions without injury. There were no witnesses to this incident. It was a rainy day, and the victim was wearing leather-soled boots, so it is possible that his foot slipped on the wet grain bin roof, causing him to grasp or fall against the auger shaft. His nylon jacket was found with its front sections shredded, and nylon threads were embedded in the victim's neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The KY FACE investigators concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Before attempting to unclog an auger, power should be turned off 2. Auger shaft ends should always have protective covers or shields 3. Handrails should be installed on tops of grain bins 4. Slip-resistant paint should be used on tops of grain bins, or a flat platform should be installed, in order to provide a safer surface on which to stand 5. Shoes or boots worn when working on tops of grain bins should have slip-resistant soles, and other clothing should be well-fitting and zipped or buttoned.
