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.

Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - This report concerned the death of a 51-year-old male janitorial worker who fell 14.5 feet, landing on the floor of a parking garage. He was employed by a janitorial service company which had no safety program or formal safety training. He and a coworker were dusting the drainpipes which were hanging from the ceiling. To reach the pipes they had used a manually propelled personnel lift which extended 14.5 feet. Once they had finished dusting an area, they partially lowered the lift and a worker on the ground pushed the platform to the next section. The outriggers were not extended. In the area of the incident, the floor sloped about 1 degree. At the time of the accident the lift tipped over and the victim struck his head on the pavement. He was transported to the hospital and died 12 hours later from blunt craniocerebral trauma. Recommendations included ensuring that such lifts are properly erected and that all safety features have been made operational, including outriggers, that workers are properly trained in the use of all equipment, that suitable equipment is used for every task, and that a competent person be designated and trained to perform regular safety inspections.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 35 year old supervisor from an out-of-state manufacturing company was killed while he was overseeing the installation of a heavy metal conveyor belt at a recycling plant. This conveyor system was designed to move recycled materials from ground level to a new elevated sorting line. Installation workers were assembling the metal conveyor belt at ground level and pulling it up a 30 degree incline using hand operated winches. When the conveyor belt reached the top of the incline, the workers proceeded to rearrange their winches to pull the belt around the top roller. To hold the conveyor belt in place while adjusting they attached a safety chain to a 2" x 2" piece of angle iron which was welded temporarily to a 4" x 4" angle iron sweep on the conveyor. They had repeated the same procedure earlier when the conveyor was in lower positions without problems. However, at this time, because of jerky movements, the welded attachment point failed, and the entire conveyor belt immediately slid down the incline and bunched up on the ground level. The temporary weld was not able to withstand the added force from the heavy metal conveyor belt on the full length of the incline. The victim was standing on or walking over the conveyor at ground level when the weld failed. He was knocked down and dragged through a narrow space between the belt and the conveyor frame, causing extensive crush injuries to his truck and extremities. An ambulance was located across the street and arrived within two minutes, however due to the extent of his injuries, the man was dead on arrival at the local hospital. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. The manufacturer should establish a written procedure for safe installation and maintenance of conveyor belts, trying to identify dangerous times during the installation process. 2. The manufacturer should train all installation and maintenance workers to follow safe working procedures. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 57 year old warehouse worker for a gypsum company was helping to load drywall onto a flatbed truck when a forklift driven by a co-worker suddenly lurched forward pinning him against the truck frame. The victim was standing in a narrow space between the forklift and the flat-bed semi-trailer positioning spacer strips of drywall on the truck bed. The co-worker had a large load of drywall on the forklift and was in process of leveling the load when the forklift went into gear and lurched forward. Normally the parking brake is set whenever the driver leaves the forklift, thus disengaging the transmission and preventing forward or reverse movement of the forklift. The driver had just dismounted the forklift to help the victim, then mounted it again to adjust the load. He must have immediately released the parking brake and had insufficient pressure on the service brake to disengage the transmission. After the accident the driver immediately backed away from the flatbed truck, and the victim fell to the ground. CPR was begun immediately and continued by emergency personnel, but was unsuccessful. The victim was rushed immediately to the hospital, but all efforts to revive him failed. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Employers should establish safe loading procedures with powered industrial forklifts in accordance with regulations, 29 CFR 1910.178 (m). 2. Employers should provide adequate training for workers to follow safe practices when operating a forklift. 3. Employees should follow safe working procedures when operating an industrial forklift.

Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center AB - A 32-year-old male was killed when he was caught in a rotating power take-off (PTO) shaft. He had been involved in farming for many years and often helped his friends who owned a dairy farm. The farmworker was helping one of the owners of the farm load corn from the silage wagon into the feeding trough. Both the farmworker and the owner were experienced in operating the equipment on the farm and had worked together on this type of task before. However, the owner had always operated the equipment controls. The PTO connecting the tractor to the silage wagon was not covered by a safety guard. Recent heavy rains had made the area slick and muddy. The owner was nearby when he heard the victim yell AB - he found him wrapped around the rotating PTO. The farmworker suffered severe damage to the spinal cord, skull, and left leg, killing him immediately. In order to prevent similar incidents from occurring, FACE investigators recommend: 1. PTO shafts should be covered by a protective guard 2. Workers should avoid wearing loose or frayed clothing which can get caught in machinery 3. Workers should be provided with training to safely operate equipment.

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 52-year-old male machinist (the victim) died as a result of crushing injuries he sustained after being pinned between a turnstile arm and a metal beam on a conveyor line. He had been working at the metal fabricating company where the incident occurred for six days prior to the incident. Prior to being hired at the new company, he had worked for twenty years at another company where he operated a manually operated tilt-table (downender). During his employment with the new company, he worked in the shipping department and had not been trained to operate the company's automatic downender. About ten minutes before the incident, the production control manager (the supervisor) asked him to help with the process of transferring rolls (coils) of metal alloy from a turnstile to the downender. This segment of the conveyor line was automatically controlled by buttons on a control panel, in front of the downender. On the afternoon of the incident, the supervisor was operating the control panel while the victim worked under his direction. During the first part of the cycle, the turnstile arm holding the coils turned 90 degrees to align with a projecting beam from the center of the vertical downender. Usually, an automatic pusher transferred the coil from the turnstile to the beam. If the transfer was incomplete, a worker would manually push the coil onto the beam. The second part of the cycle consisted of the downender tipping to the horizontal position, then retracting the beam, and automatically moving the coil to the conveyor table. There were no warning lines around the turnstile or machine areas, nor were guards in place at the pinch point between the beam and the turnstile arm or pressure pads on the floor. Just prior to the incident, the first coil on the turnstile failed to completely transfer to the beam, so the victim was directed to push it off the arm and onto the beam. After the coil was transferred, the downender had tipped to the horizontal position and the victim was standing near the turnstile arm, when the supervisor left the control panel to remove materials from the conveyor. The victim apparently went to the control panel and pushed a button to resume the cycle, then returned to the turnstile area. A few moments later, the supervisor heard the victim call for help, and turned to see him pinned between the turnstile and the downender beam. The supervisor went to the control panel and tried to retract the beam, but was unsuccessful. He then pushed the emergency stop button, and cut the hydraulic line to retract the beam. The victim was transported to the hospital by EMS services, where he was pronounced dead. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that access to hazardous areas is sufficiently guarded. 2. Develop, implement and enforce a written safety program which includes, but is not limited to, worker training in hazard identification, avoidance and abatement. 3.

Department of Health AB - On June 5, 1995, a 43-year-old sanitation worker (victim) was run over by the sanitation vehicle from which he was working. The victim and his employer (driver) were collecting residential refuse from homes located along a state highway. The workers were on a rural route and were in a rural section of a small town. The workers were using a side-loading collection vehicle with a left side loading step. The step was designed for loading refuse but not for riding on the vehicle. The victim had collected the refuse from a residence on the right side of the highway and was proceeding to collect the refuse from a residence on the left side. The driver stated that he checked his mirrors and saw the victim crossing the highway. He then drove onto the highway from the right side shoulder. It appears the victim may have tried to jump onto the loading step on the left side of the vehicle and ride to the next stop, but the driver was unaware that the victim was attempting to ride on the vehicle. The victim fell into the path of the left rear wheel, and the vehicle ran over the victim's lower extremities. Emergency assistance was requested and a local ambulance service responded. A life-flight helicopter was requested to transport the victim to regional trauma center where life-saving efforts were unsuccessful. The MO FACE Investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. develop and strictly enforce policies prohibiting trash collectors from riding on loading steps of trash collection vehicles AB - 2. consider equipping side-loading refuse collection vehicles with extended fenders or additional body panels to eliminate or reduce the likelihood of workers landing in the path of the vehicle's wheels in the event of a fall.

Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 32-year-old male crew leader (the victim) died after a forklift load carrier with a shop made attachment fell from the forklift as he was passing underneath it. The victim was working with the forklift operator and four other co-workers in the yard of an asphalt equipment manufacturing company where the forklift was being used to lift one end of a large silo. The company had equipped the forklift with a commercially-manufactured load carrier and a shop made bracket fitted with a square pipe. The pipe was placed inside the silo, then the forks were raised to about 12 feet until one end of the silo was lifted off the ground. The loader operator had shifted the loader to neutral when the victim started to walk under the load carrier and bracket to measure the silo. The load carrier and bracket suddenly fell from the forklift and struck the victim. The co-workers removed the pieces of equipment from the victim, saw that he was seriously injured, and called for emergency services. He was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Use appropriate equipment, such as a crane, when lifting heavy and massive objects. 2. Obtain and follow forklift manufacturers' recommendations for attaching and using modified equipment. 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 51-year-old male, part-time farmer (the victim) was crushed when a farm tractor overturned and pinned him. He was driving the tractor from a field to the farmyard, and turned off the driveway to pass around an automobile parked in the tractor's path. At the point where he left the driveway, the grassy hillside sloped approximately 30 degrees downhill. To maneuver around the car, the farmer started to drive in a curve down and across the slope of the hill. The tractor, which was not equipped with roll over protection structures (ROPS) or a seat belt, overturned on its side, pinning the farmer underneath. The farmer's wife was in the farmyard, heard a crashing noise, and turned to see the victim pinned under the overturned tractor. She drove her auto toward a neighbor's home to summon help, but skidded into a ditch on the way. The neighbor was passing by in his vehicle at that time, and stopped to assist the victim's wife. Emergency services were called, and additional neighbors arrived to help free the victim from underneath the tractor. The coroner pronounced the victim dead at the scene, and his wife was transported to the hospital for evaluation and treatment of injuries she incurred when her automobile left the road. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, farmers and other tractor operators should: 1. Evaluate hazards and take precautions to avoid driving tractors across steep slopes. 2. Drive tractors that have been equipped with rollover protection structures (ROPS) and an operator restraint system In addition, farm family members should: 3. Prepare for emergency situations by collecting information on community emergency response resources and maintaining a phone list for quick access.

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 July, 1995 a self-employed tree trimmer (the victim) died from head and neck injuries caused by falling 50 feet from a boom truck bucket. The victim was using an older "cherry picker" boom truck to trim trees with a small chainsaw at a friend's acreage. The lower section of the hydraulic boom and the hinge area was constructed of metal. The upper section and the bucket were made of fiberglass. The upper section was round and approximately 8 inches in diameter. At the time of the accident the boom was in maximum vertical extension above the truck. The victim was holding a 70 lb. branch that he had just cut. He momentarily hyperextended the fiberglass boom to clear the truck cab. At this extreme point in its travel, the upper section of the boom snapped completely in two at its base where it inserted into the metal hinge portion of the boom. The fiberglass arm swung down like a pendulum to a resting position, the broken ends being held adjacent to each other by cables inside the extension arms. These cables automatically keep the bucket level with the ground in normal operation. When the boom arm broke, the bucket remained in a fixed position with the fiberglass arm, inverting when it swung down, propelling the victim headlong into the ground, killing him instantly. When emergency personnel arrived, they observed the fatal head and neck injuries and confirmed that the man was dead at the scene. The victim was not wearing a hard hat, nor any type of safety belt or harness. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Boom truck operators should wear fall protective equipment as outlined in 29 CFR 1926.566 (b)(2v), "A body belt shall be worn and a lanyard attached to the boom or bucket when working from an aerial lift." 2. All equipment which mechanically supports or lifts human life should be maintained in excellent working condition, with routine inspections and maintenance of all parts by qualified technicians. 3. Tree trimmers and boom truck owners should not use a boom arm as a crane to move logs, tree limbs, or objects which exceed its rated capacity. (CFR 1926.556 (b)(2vi).

Department of Health AB - The victim was alone at the time that the unwitnessed incident occurred. This report is based on information obtained during a telephone interview with the victim's son and on a review of a copy of the sheriff's department report and copies of their photographs taken at the incident site. A 75-year-old male farmer (victim) died of injuries sustained when the tractor he was driving rolled over on him. He was driving a farm tractor pulling a wagon loaded with 100 bushels of wheat. The tractor was not equipped with a rollover protective structure or a general purpose cab. The victim hauled loads of wheat from a field while his son used a combine to harvest the field. A few minutes after the gravity wagon was filled, the victim drove the tractor pulling the wagon from the field. The loads were pulled down the hill of a wet dirt field road. Approximately ten minutes later, the victim's son noticed smoke rising from the other side of the hill in the field road. He drove the combine to the incident site and discovered his father pinned beneath the overturned and burning tractor. Skid marks caused by braking of the tractors rear wheels indicated that the victim used the brakes to slow the speed of the tractor and wagon down the hill. The victim's son drove back to the wheat field where another tractor equipped with a front end loader was parked. He returned to the incident site with the tractor and loader and used the loader to free his father. After his father was freed, he drove to a nearby farm house and placed a call to emergency medical personnel. They arrived at the scene shortly after being notified. The victim 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. all tractors should be equipped with a rollover protective structure and a seat belt AB - 2. tractor operators should be trained to recognize and understand the hazards associated with towing items that weigh nearly the same as or more than the tractor AB - and 3. operators should lock both brake pedals together when driving in slippery conditions.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 64-year-old male farmer (victim) died of injuries sustained when the tractor he was driving tipped over backward. The victim used a two-wheel drive farm tractor to pack soil at a farm construction site. The tractor was not equipped with a rollover protective structure or a general purpose enclosed cab. Prior to construction of a barn and a manure pit, workers from a local excavation company moved clay from a nearby hill to the construction site. After clay was spread over the site in layers approximately six inches thick, the victim used a farm tractor to compact each layer of clay. The site grade was raised approximately four feet and resulted in an embankment with a steep slope. After the level surface area had been compacted, the victim began to compact the embankment by repeatedly driving the tractor down and backing it up the embankment. A few minutes before the incident, with the tractor at the bottom of the embankment, the victim turned it around and began driving up and backing down the embankment. He traversed the sloped area in this manner several times as he continued to compact the embankment. While he drove up the embankment, the front wheels of the tractor raised off of the ground and it tipped over backward. It came to rest upside down and pinned the victim beneath the tractor seat and the steering wheel. The operator of a caterpillar being used to move the clay immediately noticed the overturned tractor and ran to the scene but was unable to aid the victim. He went to the farm house and requested that emergency personnel be called to the scene. Emergency personnel arrived at the scene shortly after they were notified, removed the tractor from 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. all tractors should be equipped with a rollover protective structure and a seat belt AB - and 2. operators of tractors should only back up or drive down inclined grades.

Department of Health AB - A 37-year-old window washer died of injuries sustained when the two-point suspension scaffold he was working from collapsed. The victim was not wearing fall protection and he fell thirty-five feet to the ground. The window washing company the victim worked for was contracted to wash the windows of a six story building. Prior to his fall, the victim was operating a two-point suspension scaffold and washing windows on the third story of the building. The victim was working with one other coworker, who was also washing windows from the scaffold, at the time the incident occurred. The two workers arrived at the site shortly after 5:00 a.m. on the morning of the incident and set up the scaffold. It was dark at this hour of the morning and the victims did not use any type of artificial light to set up the scaffold. Each of the two outriggers was to be secured to a separate steel bar in order to attach counterweights to the outriggers. The steel bar was properly pushed through one of the outriggers with two counter weights attached to each side. In the darkness, the victims may not have been able to see the hole in the other outrigger. The steel bar was pushed through the counter weights on each side of the outrigger, but it was not pushed through the hole in the outrigger itself. The outrigger was positioned underneath the steel bar and therefore was not properly secured. Although the steel bar was not properly secured, the weight of the bar and only counter weights was enough to hold the outrigger in place for some time, and the victims were able to complete part of the job before the scaffolding collapsed. Emergency medical personnel arrived at the incident site shortly after being called, but the victim was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. persons working at elevation should wear personal fall protection equipment 2. tiebacks should be securely fastened to outrigger beams 3. counterweights used with outriggers, should be sufficient to balance four times the intended load and securely fastened to outrigger beams 4. adequate lighting should be used whenever assembling equipment 5. employers should design, develop, and implement a comprehensive safety program 6. persons working from elevated work surfaces should be trained in the recognition of fall hazards AN - cdc:167157 DO - https://doi.org/10.26616/NIOSHSFACE95MN055 KW - Construction Industry KW - Safety KW - Accidents, Occupational KW - Personal Protective Equipment KW - Safety Management KW - Workplace KW - Staff Development KW - Occupational Health KW - Accidents KW - Accident Prevention KW - Lighting KW - OSHA Region 5 KW - Accident-analysis KW - Accident-prevention KW - Accidents KW - Injuries KW - Injury-prevention KW - Traumatic-injuries KW - Work-operations KW - Work-analysis KW - Work-areas KW - Work-performance KW - Work-practices KW - Safety-education KW - Safety-equipment KW - Safety-measures KW - Safety-monitoring KW - Protective-measures KW - Personal-protection KW - Protective-equipment KW - Personal-protective-equipment KW - Scaffolds KW - Window-cleaning KW - Safety-programs KW - Training KW - Lighting-systems KW - Accident Prevention KW - Accidents KW - Accidents, Occupational KW - Construction Industry KW - Lighting KW - Occupational Health KW - Personal Protective Equipment KW - Safety KW - Safety Management KW - Staff Development KW - Workplace LA - eng PB - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health PY - 1995 T3 - Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Reports (FACE) TI - Window Washer Dies After Falling 35 Feet When Suspension Scaffold Collapsed UR - https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/167157 ER -

Department of Public Health AB - On June 21, 1995, a 32 year old male woodworker was fatally injured when a steel tool knife was propelled from the overhead pin router he was operating. The victim, a tool grinder and setup man, had just sharpened the tool knives from the router. According to co-workers, the victim, working alone in a room, had fastened the knives into the holder, inserted the tool holder into the router and had just started the machine when they heard a loud noise. The co-workers entered the room to find the victim slouched against the wall approximately 25 feet from the router. A tool knife had launched from the router, perforated the victim's chest and ricocheted around the room. Emergency medical assistance was immediately summoned and the victim was transported to a local hospital emergency room where he died of his injuries shortly after arrival. To prevent future similar occurrences, the MA FACE Director concluded that employers should: 1. Ensure that tooling for woodworking machines is used on the machinery intended by the tool designers. 2. Ensure that machines are adequately equipped with tool guards wherever possible. 3. Design, develop and implement a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to conducting periodic hazard analyses for each job classification, and employee training on hazards in the use of high speed woodworking machinery Additionally, tool manufacturers should: 4. Ensure that multipart (insert) tool holders are properly designed to hold tool knives securely. 5. Ensure that tooling for woodworking machines are clearly labeled with their maximum permissible spindle speeds for which designed.

The victim was part of a five-man crew installing a culvert drain across a county road. As the trailer began to dump the load of fill around the culvert drain pipe, the fill dirt on the right side remained in the bed while the fill on the left side began sliding out. This caused the trailer to be unstable and it started to tip over. The victim, who was standing at the rear of the trailer, may have seen what was happening and ran towards the truck cab along side the trailer bed. The truck, to which the trailer was connected, tipped over with the trailer, pinning the victim underneath the truck. Emergency personnel were called to the scene and extricated the victim. Shortly after the victim was freed from underneath the truck, the victim began hemorrhaging internally and died at the scene. The MO FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. require employees to immediately alert the operator when loaded material in a dump trailer or truck becomes lodged within the dump bed during dumping operations AB - 2. develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety and health plan that includes, but is not limited to, the hazards associated with operation of heavy equipment.

The victim was part of a four-man crew baling and stacking hay on a wagon. The victim, who was stacking hay on the wagon, noticed that the tying mechanism had stopped working and notified the operator of the tractor to stop. The operator stopped and disengaged the power-take-off (PTO). While the PTO and flywheel was still winding down the victim crawled underneath the baler and reached inside the tying mechanism to free the tangled twine. The release of the tangled twine caused the mechanism to activate, crushing the victim's head. 1. The MO FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar occurrences, workers should: 2. ensure the PTO is disengaged, the engine on the tractor is shut off, the key is taken from the ignition, and the machine has come to a complete stop and de-energized before any repairs to the machine are made.
