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.

She worked as an area operator for a food additive manufacturer AB - there were 156 workers on two 12-hour shifts. The operations at the facility covered five floors and access between floors was by means of a continuous motion belt manlift operating through 36-inch diameter openings. The victim had picked up a clipboard on the second floor and gone to take final gauge readings on the fifth floor. She was found unconscious on the second floor at the base of the manlift about 20 minutes later. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death was severe trauma to the head and chest. Although no one witnessed the fall, she apparently fell from the manlift between the fourth and fifth floors. The manlift was still running, although the emergency stop bar at the top of the manlift had been displaced AB - the on/off switch was found to be faulty. It was recommended that employees be instructed to exercise extreme caution when using equipment that by design exposes them to potential fall hazards and that they adhere to established safe work procedures.

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 alone at the time that this incident occurred. This report is based on a MN FACE site investigation and a review of a sheriff's department report and photographs of the incident. A 65-year-old farmer (victim) died of injuries sustained when the tractor he was driving overturned. During the late afternoon hours, on the day of the incident, he used a farm tractor equipped with a front-end loader and a large round bale spear to haul large round hay bales from a field to his farmyard. The tractor was not equipped with a general purpose enclosed cab or a rollover protective structure. After he had hauled two bales from the field and as darkness fell, he drove from the farmyard to get a third bale of hay. He arrived at the field and used the loader and bale spear to pick up another large round bale. Since it was no longer daylight, family members believed that he raised the loader to a height where the bottom of the bale was approximately five feet above the ground. This had been done on other occasions so the bale did not interfere with the illumination provided by the tractor lights. While he drove from the field toward the farmyard, the left rear tractor wheel gradually left the driveway surface and entered the ditch on the west side of the driveway. The tractor overturned 180 degrees to the left side and came to rest upside down in a field along the west side of the driveway. The victim was found by his son approximately 30 minutes after he had left the farmyard for the bale of hay. The victim's son immediately returned to the farm house and called emergency medical personnel. They arrived at the scene shortly after being notified and removed the victim from under the tractor. The victim was transferred to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival by the county coroner. 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 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. 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, a review of copies of their photos of the incident, and a telephone interview with a sheriff's deputy who responded to the scene. A 70-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained after he was pinned between a rear tractor tire and a hayrack. The victim left his farmyard near mid-day with a tractor and two hayracks and drove to a hay field to fill the racks with large round hay bales. He arrived at the hay field, unhooked the hayracks and began loading bales onto the racks. After he filled the front hayrack and loaded four bales on the second hayrack, he hooked the hayracks to the tractor drawbar. He drove to another location in the field, stopped the tractor and got off of it to unhook the hayracks. When he removed the hitch pin, the hayracks rolled forward and pinned him between the left rear tractor tire and a large round hay bale that extended beyond the edge of the hayrack. The victim's wife became concerned when he did not return from the hay field. She called a neighbor and told him that she hadn't seen her husband since he left the farmyard earlier during the day. The neighbor drove to the hay field and found the victim pinned between the tractor tire and the hayrack. He called emergency medical personnel who arrived at the scene shortly after being notified. They removed the victim and pronounced him dead at the scene. MN FACE investigators concluded that in order to reduce the likelihood of similar incidents, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. whenever possible, operators should select terrain that is level when unhitching equipment AB - and 2. operators should block the wheels of equipment if it must be unhitched on sloping terrain.

He was employed by a residential contractor and developer with four employees. At the time of the accident the victim and his coworker were attempting to off load the lid from a monorail boom truck onto the box. The lid shifted from a horizontal to a vertical position during the off-loading procedure. Just before the shift in position occurred, the victim had grabbed the lid, probably attempting to correct the alignment so that it would fit correctly on the box. When the lid shifted, the toggle, which had been holding the lid, slipped through the hole in the center of the lid, and allowed the lid to fall to the ground. The victim was knocked off balance by the shift of the lid and fell to the ground just before the lid. The lid fell on top of the victim causing crushing injuries to the chest and torso. It is recommended that no employee work or travel near a suspended load, that companies which manufacture water distribution boxes consider delivery of boxes and lids together as a single unit, that rigging be suitable for the load being moved, and that a written safety program be devised and implemented.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Ray, Thomas D. AU - Roberts, Daryl W. A2 - Missouri Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MO FACE) A2 - Missouri. Department of Health AB - A 23-year-old male operator (victim) of a rotary injection molding machine was crushed by the machine he was operating. This press, known as the DESMA II, consists of six separate molds or stations. Every 32 seconds the press rotates a station to the molten rubber injection port. The mold is then filled with the rubber product and cycles to the next station. Just before the station rotates to the injection port, the operator releases and removes the rubber product from the mold and places it to the side to cool. After the part has cooled sufficiently, the operator trims excess rubber product from the part and places it on a conveyor belt, which moves the part to another process. The molding press is secured to the concrete floor of the facility, and an operating platform is built around one side of the machine. The operator works from the platform, removing the rubber parts from the mold and placing them on the conveyor. There is an open section of the platform where the round press intersects the square platform. This area is termed "no man's land" by the workers (see Diagram 1). The victim may have dropped a tool or a part down to the concrete floor and was lying on his stomach reaching down under the machine when the machine rotated to the next station. The machine caught the victim at the head and neck causing instantaneous death. 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. provide machine guarding to prevent machine operators from entering any zone identified as hazardous or from having any part of the body in such a zone during operation of the machinery 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.

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 October 24, a 34 year old male construction laborer was fatally injured when he was crushed beneath an asphalt-carrying tractor trailer while paving an interstate highway. The victim, facing away from the tractor-trailer, was shoveling old asphalt from around a catch basin adjacent to the high-speed lane. Working approximately 12 feet behind the trailer, the victim could not be seen by the truck driver. The vehicle had no backup alarm. Co-workers, seeing the truck begin to move yelled to the driver and the victim, but it was too late. The victim was run over by the left rear dual axle and was killed instantly. State police on the scene for highway traffic control called the local medical examiner who removed the body to a county hospital. The MA FACE Director concluded that to prevent similar occurrences in the future: 1. Construction company employers should ensure that one person be designated as a signalman to direct trucks backing up within highway construction sites. 2. Trucking company employers should design, develop and implement a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training for truck drivers in hazard recognition on construction sites and providing back-up alarms on trucks. 3.

Occupational Health Service AB - On August 1, 1995, a 36-year-old electrician's helper was electrocuted after cutting an electrical wire carrying 460 volts. The incident occurred in a retail store fitting room where the victim and a co-worker were replacing the overhead florescent light tubes and ballast transformers. The victim had set up a fiberglass ladder in a fitting room and was standing on it as he cut a wire with an insulated wire cutter. As he cut the live wire, he contacted the energized metal cutter while leaning against the grounded metal fitting room door frame. A co-worker saw the victim being shocked and broke the contact by clipping the wire, at which time the victim collapsed against the door frame. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Employers should ensure that company lock-out/tag-out procedures are strictly enforced. 2. Only properly trained and authorized employees should be permitted to work on live electrical circuits. 3.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 27 year old mechanic working for an auto recycler was fatally injured while working under a wrecked car in an auto salvage lot. The man was removing a front wheel assembly while standing under the car which was supported by forks of a large 4-wheel drive rubber-tired forklift truck. The victim was assisted by a friend who was not employed by the salvage yard and was not adequately experienced with fork lift operation. The victim had removed lug nuts and the axle nut of the right wheel assembly and was standing under the front end of the automobile. He grabbed the undercarriage and swung his feet up to kick off the wheel. At this point the car began to tilt to the front. The assistant yelled to the victim, but it was too late, for the car rapidly slid forward and fell pinning the victim to the ground causing fatal head injuries. The back end of the car remained supported by the left fork. The assistant mounted the forklift and lowered the rear of the car, then radioed to other employees for help. He stated in an interview that he noticed a gap between the car and the right fork of the forklift, but didn't think anything of it and didn't mention this to the victim. The wrecked car was not secured by safety chains or other means to the forklift, and there was no supports to prevent the car from falling. The victim was killed instantly from head injuries. When emergency personnel arrived, they were instructed to immediately transport the body to the hospital in hopes of saving vital organs for donation. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Auto mechanics should not work under cars when they are elevated and supported only by a forklift. 2. Salvage yards should use safety chains or other means to secure autos when they are elevated and moved by forklifts. 3. Salvage yards should provide safe dismantling areas where cars are adequately supported. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

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 61-year-old male machinist (the victim) died after his clothing was caught by a clamp on the revolving turntable of a vertical lathe, and he was pinned against the machine parts. The 64" diameter turntable held a ring of steel stock secured to the table by six holding clamps. A cutting arm tool on the machine was used to bore the interior of the ring stock, producing metal turnings and filings that accumulated on the turntable and on the floor near the machine. A metal barrier guard shielded about two-thirds of the open side turntable from worker contact, and deflected the metal turnings and filings. At the time of the incident, the victim was wearing gloves while standing next to the unguarded section of the turntable. The incident was unwitnessed, but apparently the victim either reached over the revolving table or fell onto it. His glove was caught by a clamp, and his body was pulled against the opening between the lathe housing and the cutting arm. A co-worker heard a sound, saw the victim pinned in the machine, and went to the shop office to call emergency medical services (EMS). A second co-worker went to the machine and turned off the power, stopping the machine. By this time, the victim had fallen back onto the shop floor. EMS responders and police arrived within several minutes. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar incidents, employers should: 1. Ensure that revolving machine parts are sufficiently guarded. 2. Review, revise where applicable, and enforce safety programs that include job-specific procedures for working with guarded machine parts and for shutting off and locking out machines before cleaning or maintenance. 3. Conduct scheduled and unscheduled worksite safety inspections, which should include observations of employees' work practices. 4. Develop policies and training programs that address the use of emergency shutoff devices for all workers who work near hazardous machines. In addition, employers of workers who are not fluent in English should: 5. Ensure that all workers receive initial and ongoing instructions on safe work practices in a manner that is clear, complete, and understandable to the employee.

Department of Health AB - A 56-year old bridge inspector drowned after falling from a seawall. The victim and a coworker were inspecting a highway bridge over a waterway that connected two bays of a large lake. Although life vests were available in the inspectors vehicle, they were not being worn at the time of the incident. The bridge inspectors were working at ground level on one side of the waterway. A concrete seawall existed along the edge of the waterway. The top of the seawall was wet and slippery due to waves striking it and due to the growth of algae in the water. The inspectors were looking for evidence of structural deterioration in the concrete portions of the bridge. After inspecting the underside of the bridge furthest from the waterway, the victim walked to the edge of the water while the coworker remained in an area away from the waterway. The victim stepped onto the seawall and stood on it with his back toward the water. He was wearing a pair of general purpose "tennis" type shoes. The coworker did not see the victim fall from the seawall but heard the victim strike the water. The coworker rushed to the edge of the water and briefly saw the victim in the water before he disappeared beneath the surface. Rescue personnel were called to the scene and located the victim under water. Resuscitation efforts were performed as the victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that personal flotation devices are available and used when employees work near or over water where the danger of drowning exists AB - and 2. ensure that footwear appropriate for the work environment is available and worn by employees.

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 August 1995 a farmer was killed while loading hay onto a haywagon. The man was working with his two sons loading square bales of hay in a rolling hayfield with mild contours. He was using a tricycle type tractor equipped with a front end loader and powered hayfork. The wagon was unattached to the tractor and left on a slight incline. While loading the second layer of haybales on the wagon, the farmer used the front end loader to push and align the bales. The wagon started to roll slowly backwards. The older son jumped off and grabbed the tongue of the wagon trying to steer the wagon uphill. His father quickly backed off and drove the tractor to the downhill side of the wagon and tried to place the loader in front of the moving wagon. The wagon hit the raised front end loader form the right side, overturning the tractor sideways, crushing the farmer under the right rear tire, killing him instantly. The tractor had no rollover protective structure (ROPS). The farmer's younger son, age 10, was riding on the tractor. He was pinned beneath the tractor by his right arm which was severely crushed. Emergency crew lifted the tractor off the boy and rushed him to the hospital. His father was dead at the scene. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. All tractors used with front end loaders should be equipped with ROPS. 2. Tricycle type narrow front tractors should not be equipped with front end loaders. Tractors that are so equipped should be used only on level grounds with special caution. 3. Wagons left unhitched on sloping ground should always be chocked or have wheel brakes capable of holding the wagon. 4. Tractor operators should be made aware of overturn hazard and methods to reduce this hazard, including safe driving on sloping grounds, keeping the bucket low while driving, and using counterweights on the tractor. 5. Children should not ride as passengers on tractors. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

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 28-year-old white female office assistant (the victim) at a sod farm died after being pinned under the tire of a forklift that had slipped into a manmade drainage ditch. The employer in this incident was a sod farm and landscaping business that hired seasonal workers during the spring, summer and fall for field work. The victim usually performed general office duties for the business, but had occasionally operated a forklift under supervision. The field workers primarily spoke Spanish, while the office assistant was only proficient in English. On the day of the incident, the victim was notified that a customer had arrived earlier than expected and was waiting to pick up a small load of sod. The farm owner (the farmer) and laborers who usually loaded the sod were working in the fields, about a half-mile from the office and could not be easily contacted. The victim drove a Case Model 586 E forklift to a stack of rolled sod near a flatbed truck parked on a path that ran alongside a water-filled ditch. She was apparently positioning the forklift to pick up a pallet of sod to load onto the truck when the forklift began to slip backwards into the ditch. Although the forklift was equipped with a rollover protection structure (ROPS) and seatbelts, the victim was not wearing the seatbelts at the time of the incident. The event was unwitnessed, but it appears she either fell or jumped from the forklift and was pinned underwater by a rear wheel of the forklift as it rolled into the ditch. The farmer and a laborer noticed that the forklift was no longer visible in the area of the truck and went to investigate. The laborer found the victim pinned underwater, and raised her head enough to reach air. The farmer called for emergency services from the truck phone. Emergency services arrived, and the forklift was pulled from the water by a tractor brought from a nearby field. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation was started, the victim was transported to a hospital, where she died five days later from anoxic brain injury. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Develop, implement and enforce a written safety program that includes, but is not limited to, completion of powered industrial truck training program before operation of a forklift. 2. Ensure that all workers wear seat belts on forklifts and other equipment that have rollover protective structures (ROPS). 3. Consider using personal mobile radios to communicate with workers in remote worksites. 4. Ensure that employees are trained in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) In addition, employers of workers who are not fluent in English should: 5. Ensure that all workers receive instructions on safe work practices in a manner that is clear, complete, and understandable to the employee.

Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 77-year-old white male farmer (the victim) died as the result of a fall from a hay wagon. Although he had discontinued dairy farming about two months before the incident, he continued to help his family with other farm chores. His mobility was limited by joint pain and stiffness, but he did not use assistive devices to walk. On the day of the incident, the victim and his adult grandson were picking up rectangular hay bales from the field. The grandson drove a tractor, pulling a bale loader in front of a hay wagon, while the victim stood on the empty wagon. The portable bale loader picked bales from the field and raised them on a conveyor to the wagon, which was not equipped with siderails. The farmer was positioned near the front of the wagon, prepared to receive and stack bales as they were discharged from the top of the bale loader. Although the event was unwitnessed, it appears the victim lost his balance and fell from the wagon, striking the back of his neck on the bale loader as he fell. The grandson saw the victim on the ground, began CPR, then called for help. The victim was taken to the hospital where he was admitted and died two days later of complications of fractured cervical vertebrae. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, farmers should: 1. Consider the physical capacities of individual farm workers and assign light or limited duty jobs when necessary due to a worker's injury or illness. 2. Include safety management as an integral part of their business operation. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

The chillers were refrigerated, open topped, cylindrical tanks about 5 feet in diameter and 36 feet in length. The chiller motors were deenergized at the control panel during the cleaning process, but they were not locked out as the switch had been moved, and new switch covers were not yet installed. Accidentally, the chiller paddle wheel was turned on in the chiller while the worker was still in the cleaning process. The paddle wheel blade struck the victim and pinned him to the wall of the chiller. Other workers were not able to free the victim sufficiently to remove him from the chiller, and the paddle wheel drive shaft had to be cut. The worker was removed to the hospital, where he died the following evening of cardiovascular decompressions secondary to massive crushing injury of the upper thorax. It is recommended that employers ensure that comprehensive hazardous energy control procedures are established and followed, that all components of new or modified equipment are properly installed and functioning, that hazard evaluations are performed and needed modifications are implemented, and that safety programs include procedures which require workers to communicate hazards to safety managers.

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 February 28, 1995, a 25 year old male production employee was fatally injured when he was crushed beneath several coils of metal band stock at a Massachusetts steel fabrication facility. Identifying and tagging coils of 6 1/4" wide band stock at the time of the incident, the victim had his back turned to a stack of materials when they toppled onto him. The 8 foot high stack consisted of fourteen coils, eleven of which fell adjacent to the victim while three, weighing approximately 1,100 pounds each, struck the victim in the lower back inflicting catastrophic pelvic injuries. Co-workers immediately summoned emergency assistance, then removed the heavy coils from the conscious victim and tended to him until Emergency Medical Services arrived. The victim was soon transported to the regional hospital where he was officially pronounced dead approximately one and one-half hours following the incident. The MA FACE Program Director concluded that to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that forklift operators properly stack and secure materials to prevent the possibility of collapse. 2. Consider using racks for storage of materials.
