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.

Department of Health AB - A 33-year-old blender-operator (victim) suffered a crushing injury when he entered part of the blending machine he was operating. The victim worked at a poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC) pipe manufacturing facility. His responsibility was to blend additives to the PVC product for certain types of pipe products. While operating the blending machine he noticed a problem with one of the thermocouples that monitor batch temperatures. He and another co-worker decided to replace the thermocouple with a new one. While the co-worker was working on replacing the thermocouple, the victim proceeded to another part of the blender unit, possibly to check another thermocouple. While the victim was partially inside this part of the blender, the unit activated. The victim was caught by the machinery and pulled into the unit. The victim helped extricate himself from the machinery. He was transported to a local hospital and life-flighted to trauma center where he received treatment, but he died the same night. 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. ensure that written lock-out/tag-out procedures are developed, implemented and enforced to protect workers from hazardous energy AB - 2. develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program which includes, but is not limited to, training of employees in hazard recognition and avoidance, and safe work policies including task-specific procedures AB - 3. routinely inspect and test safety lock-out devices and switches on machinery. These devices should not be relied upon to replace a properly initiated lockout/tagout procedure.

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 42-year-old male, Hispanic wood fabricating assembler (the victim) died when a wooden flange he was attempting to roll to an assembly rack (jig) fell over and crushed him. The flange was 92" in diameter and weighed approximately 350 pounds. It was being rolled manually 25 feet to the assembly area where it was to become part of a reel or spool used to store wire. The victim's employer stated that rolling flanges was the typical method used to move them from the entrance way to the jig. The employer also stated that the victim was familiar with the hazards involved in rolling the flange. The concrete surface on which the flange was being rolled was flat but was wet from recent rains. Though there were no witnesses to the incident, a co-worker in the general vicinity heard a loud noise when the flange fell to the ground. He ran to see what had happened and discovered the victim underneath the flange. The co-worker lifted the flange from the victim's head and summoned emergency services to the scene. Fire department paramedics arrived in approximately 5 minutes and transported the victim to a community hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. evaluate their manual materials handling procedures assuring that safe methods are used. 2. conduct job safety analyses on all tasks in order to identify potential hazards before initiating and continuing work at a job site. Once hazards have been identified, appropriate corrective actions should be taken. 3. implement and maintain a written Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) which addresses the hazards associated with, and the specific safety training necessary for materials handling.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 61 year old male farmer working alone in his timber was killed while using a tractor equipped with a front end loader and a backhoe. He was using the machine to move logs and downed trees into position for cutting into firewood. He had cut down a large tree with multiple limbs and was carrying it with the loader when it apparently rolled off the bucket and a branch struck him in the face and neck area pinning him to the tractor. The tractor had no ROPS, nor was the man wearing any head protection. His wife found him in the tractor seat, with head and neck injuries and bluish complexion. The tractor was tilted to the side with the right rear wheel raised and the engine still running. His wife tried to rescue him by using the backhoe and bucket hydraulics, but in the process tipped the tractor over, throwing both of them clear of the machine. CPR was attempted by the wife and later by emergency personnel when they arrived, but it was unsuccessful, and the farmer was pronounced dead at the local hospital. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Machines used for logging purposes should be fitted with 4-post ROPS or cabs. 2. Workers in logging operations should always wear a hard hat and other personal protective equipment. 3. Tractor front end loaders should not be used to lift logs unless the logs are secured to prevent them from rolling or sliding off.

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 17 year old retail outlet worker died after falling 18 feet from a fiberglass extension ladder. The teenager was performing general sales work for a building supply store and was in the process of changing a light bulb when he fell from the ladder and hit his head on the tiled concrete floor below. The department manager had attempted to change the bulb from the ladder without success just minutes before, then made the decision to change it after work using a forklift. Common procedure was to place a pallet on a forklift and raise a worker to the proper height so he could get two hands on the light fixture, which hung from a chain. Instead of putting the ladder away, the youth repositioned the ladder and attempted to change the light bulb by himself. He apparently lost his balance on top of the ladder and fell head first to the floor. He received massive head injuries and died enroute to the hospital. The 280 volt light fixture was still energized at the time of the accident and it is possible that the youth was shocked immediately prior to the fall. Subsequent investigation of the light fixture revealed nothing abnormal, however, it was determined that someone could get a shock from such a fixture while changing a bulb, if the bulb was sufficiently loose and they were grounded elsewhere on their body. A metal fire sprinkler pipe near the light fixture could have served as grounding. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. The employer should establish a safe procedure for changing lightbulbs at high elevations by: 1) Assigning this work only to qualified workers, 2) Training these workers in safe work practices, 3) Providing safe access, such as an approved aerial platform for high elevations, 4) De-energizing light fixtures before changing the lightbulbs, 5) Providing tools, such as work lights, electrical testing equipment, and any special tools for de-energizing or loosening the bulbs. 2. Workers should follow safe work procedures, not attempting to perform unassigned work duties that are potentially dangerous.

Occupational Injury Prevention Program AB - On May 18, 1995 (9:00 AM ) a 49-year-old, male "trouble-shooter" (victim) died after the crane he was operating became unbalanced and tipped over. The crane fell over a dock "bull rail" and fell 31 feet into an adjacent bay. The victim was assisting a dock construction contractor remove boulders from a barge berth. As the victim moved a large boulder above the surface of the water, the crane became unbalanced and fell over the side of the dock. A diver, who was assisting in the boulder removal operation, removed the victim from the wreckage, but he stopped breathing before they reached the shore. Police rescue workers began CPR and were able to reestablish a pulse. The victim's pulse was again lost during transport, but was reestablished at a nearby hospital. However, the victim's pulse was unable to be sustained and he was declared dead at 11:04 AM. Based on the findings of the epidemiological investigation, to prevent similar occurrences employers should: 1. ensure that a system for accurately measuring loads to be lifted is used by crane operators prior to an attempted lift AB - 2. ensure that crane operators are adequately trained in the use of load measuring devices, crane loading charts, and boom angle charts AB - 3. ensure that crane operators are aware of the effects of buoyancy on loads and the variable loading characteristics associated with loads in different surrounding media.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Hoffman, Richard E. AU - McCammon, Jane B. AU - McKenzie, Lyle E. A2 - Colorado Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (Colorado FACE) A2 - Colorado. Department of Public Health and Environment AB - On May 31, 1995, a 26-year-old male equipment maintenance laborer died from injuries sustained when he was crushed by the bucket of a small skid steer loader. The victim was standing in front of the machine below the raised bucket while pressure-washing the engine of the equipment. He had started the engine and raised the bucket to gain better access to the engine cavity. He left the engine running while he used a high-pressure sprayer to clean the equipment in preparation for painting. When the engine ignition system got wet, the loader engine stalled and the equipment lost hydraulic pressure. The bucket lowered, crushing the employee between it and the front frame of the machine. This skid steer loader was equipped with a roll-over protection system (ROPS) that had safety pins incorporated into the frame to prevent the bucket from lowering during maintenance. The employee had neglected to extend these pins prior to starting the cleaning process. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that employees fully understand and comply with the proper use of machinery safety mechanisms. 2. Conduct a work-site survey to assess the potential safety hazards.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 12 year old boy working part-time for a farmer was killed when he lost control and overturned a tractor in a 12 foot deep roadside ditch. The victim was driving downhill on a slightly sloping gravel road, came to the bottom of the hill, and approached an uphill. At this point the road had a culvert and deep ditches dropping off sharply at the edge of the road. For some reason the boy drove too close to the right edge and fell into the ditch causing the tractor to roll completely. The tractor was approximately 10 years old and had no ROPS or seatbelt. The tractor was pulling an empty feed wagon which sheared off at the hitch and was also pulled into the ditch, however, did not overturn. The boy was crushed under the left rear wheel and fender of the tractor and died from asphyxiation due to crush injury. There were no obvious environmental factors contributing to the incident, nor failure of the equipment. However, the tractor's seat was adjusted in the back position, making the distance from the seat to the brakes too long for this driver. The loader frame may have obstructed the drivers view of the front wheels making it difficult to see the exact position of the front wheel and the edge of the road. Recommendations based on our investigation are as follows: 1. All tractors used in hazardous conditions should be equipped with ROPS and a seatbelt. The hazardous conditions in this case include an inexperienced driver driving on a public road and having a front end loader on the tractor. 2. Employers should comply with child labor laws regarding agricultural work declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. 3. Employers should ensure that the machinery is in safe working condition and adjusted to meet the physical requirements of the operator. 4. Employers should provide appropriate safety education and supervision for the employees. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

The victim had been working in the warehouse for 2 weeks, receiving on the job training. The accident happened at point where furniture was transferred from an incoming conveyor line to an outgoing line. The victim's job was to remove furniture cartons from hangers of the incoming conveyor line, slide them across the floor to the adjacent conveyor line, and place them on hangers on the outgoing line about 8.5 feet away. The worker had been warned that he was working too close to an opening in the floor. At the time of the accident, the victim had been attempting to place a carton on a hanger. He was walking backward, attempting to adjust the carton more squarely on the hanger when he tripped over the water ledge across the opening in the floor, falling 11 feet 6 inches to the concrete floor below. He died the following day of head and chest injuries. It is recommended that employers ensure that floor openings be guarded by standard railings or covers, that employers establish safe work areas to ensure that work activities occur away from floor openings, that warning devices incorporating bilingual or symbolic language be displayed in work areas with floor openings, and that employers consider locating automatic conveyor shutdown devices at approaches to floor openings near work areas.

The company manufactured, installed, and maintained exterior signs, and employed six sign installers. The signs measured 8 feet wide by 16 feet long and 2 inches thick, each one weighing about 250 pounds. The victim and a coworker had removed three signs. While attempting to remove the fourth sign, the victim placed himself on a canopy above a loading dock and did not use any protective equipment. The sign had been secured to the boom cable of a truck crane being operated by the coworker. As the victim removed the last of the five lag screws holding the sign, the sign swung free of the building, and dropped, striking a metal canopy support. The victim fell about 12 feet, striking his head on the corner of the truck bed, below. The victim died the next day as a result of severe brain stem trauma. It is recommended that job hazard analyses be conducted of each activity involving the installation and removal of signs and measures be implemented to control the 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 26-year-old, white, Hispanic male recycling packer (the victim) died after being crushed in a paper recycling bin by a recycling ram (crushing device) that exerts 118 tons of force. The interior dimensions of the bin were 70 1/2" high x 96" long x 48" wide. There were no witnesses to the incident, and it is unknown why the victim was inside the recycling bin or how the ram was started. Approximately 15 minutes before the incident, the victim and a co-worker had been loading cardboard into the bin with a front-end loader, working in a team according to company policy. The victim's co-worker left the area for several minutes to assist another worker and when he returned, less than ten minutes later, he discovered the victim crushed inside the bin. He immediately deactivated the ram by hitting the emergency shutoff button. The ram then returned to its fully retracted position. A second worker climbed into the bin and the victim asked him for help. Paramedics were summoned to the scene at 12:02 p.m., arrived four minutes later, and found the victim alert, but disoriented. He was transported to the hospital and suffered full arrest two minutes after leaving the site. The victim was pronounced dead at 12:27 p.m. On occasion, pieces of cardboard or other material would become lodged in the bin and it was standard practice to remove obstacles with a front-end loader. It was not positively known whether the victim was in the bin trying to manually dislodge or retrieve material, but this is a possibility. The company had no effective lockout/tagout procedures and the main power source for the recycling bin was located in an area that was difficult to access. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. develop and implement a lockout/tagout procedure for all employees who operate or maintain any type of industrial machinery. 2. assure that compactors are guarded by covers, deadman controls, or by any other means that prevent workers from coming into contact with an operating ram or that prevents the ram from operating whenever a worker enters the travel zone of the ram. 3. develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive, written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) that includes, but is not limited to, training in proper procedures for all employees who operate or maintain industrial machinery. 4. conduct periodic work-site surveys to assess the setting for potential safety hazards and institute corrective actions when hazards are identified. 5. train all workers in safe emergency rescue procedures that do not put rescuers at risk of injury.

Occupational Health Service AB - On July 7, 1995, a 28-year-old male maintenance worker was electrocuted while working in a public school building. The incident occurred in the office area of a high school during the alteration of a wall for the construction of an alcove for a copying machine. The victim had just started the project and had removed a section of sheetrock when he discovered an electrical cable behind the wall leading from a light switch to the overhead fluorescent lights. He notified his supervisor who looked over the problem and instructed him to disconnect the power at the breaker box and to wait until he got back before he proceeded. After the supervisor left, the victim dismantled the light switch box and pulled the cable out of the wall. The victim was apparently stripping the wires on the cable when he contacted 277 volts, electrocuting him. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Employers should develop, implement, and enforce an electrical lock-out, tag-out procedure. 2. Employers and employees should ensure that all electrical circuits are de-energized and tested before working on them. 3.

Department of Health AB - A 39-year-old construction worker died of injuries sustained when the 20,000 pound nine-wheel pneumatic roller she was driving rolled over on her. It was not equipped with any type of rollover protective structure. The construction company the victim worked for was contracted to pave and add new shoulders to several miles of a county highway. Prior to the occurrence of the incident, the victim was operating the roller near the top of a one-half mile hill. While compacting the asphalt, the victim may have felt she was driving too fast and attempted to shift into a lower gear. This was not possible while the roller was in motion. The victim attempted to steer the roller as it continued to roll down the hill. The roller traveled approximately four-tenths of a mile down the hill until it entered a ditch. At the time the roller entered the ditch, it was traveling between 40 and 50 miles per hour. The roller then traveled approximately 100 feet through the ditch, prior to striking a rock embankment. The roller traveled across the rock embankment another 41 feet before it rolled upside down. Emergency medical personnel arrived at the incident site shortly after being called, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. pneumatic rollers should be equipped with a rollover protective structure and a seat belt AB - and 2. design, develop, and implement a comprehensive safety program.

Department of Public Health and Environment AB - On May 15, 1995 a 43-year-old maintenance worker died from injuries sustained when he fell from the roof of an apartment building. The deceased and a co-worker were performing maintenance on a rooftop swamp cooler. The co-worker was located outside the front of the apartment building and the deceased was on the roof. The deceased apparently lost his footing and fell 18 feet, landing on a concrete patio. When the co-worker did not receive a response to a question, he initiated a search and found the deceased. The deceased had lacerations on the inside of the fingers of both hands and a section of gutter on the roof edge was bent downward. He apparently tried to grab the gutter to stop his fall but was unsuccessful. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Implement 29 CFR 1926.104 that requires the use of safety belts, lifelines, and lanyards when working from elevations. 2. Develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive written safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in fall hazard recognition and the use of fall protection devices. 3. Conduct a job-site survey on a regular basis to identify potential hazards, implement appropriate control measures, and provide subsequent training to employees that specifically addresses all identified hazards.

The victim was the owner/operator of a tree trimming service. He operated the business for about 23 years, employing various part time helpers. On the day of the incident, two sons-in-law were operating chain saws at the scene when they heard a loud "pop." As they looked up, the witnesses saw the bucket carrying the victim slam against the truck. The sons-in-law removed the victim from the bucket. He was not breathing. The rescue squad was called and arrived at the scene about 15 minutes later. They reported no pulse or respiration. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner. The victim was wearing a safety belt. A cable on the bucket truck had apparently failed. Investigators concluded that, in order to prevent future incidents of this type, owners/users of bucket trucks should: 1. Develop and implement a comprehensive inspection procedure to evaluate conditions of all elements of the bucket truck. 2. Establish routine preventive maintenance procedures to systematically test and replace worn parts. 3. Train employees in first aid procedures 4. Additionally, owners should be provided with material from the manufacturers on a periodic basis through mail to prompt them to inspect equipment and replace worn parts.

College of Medicine. Institute for Rural and Environmental Health AB - A 43 year old male construction worker with an out-of-state elevator repair company was one of two men repairing a commercial elevator damaged from an explosion in the fall of 1994. He was working inside the "star silo" at an elevation of 110 feet, drilling holes into the concrete wall of the silo and securing re-bar in preparation for a concrete patch. The men were using a wooden triangular scaffold suspended by 3 electric cable-climbers. The victim was standing outside the handrail, on the ends of 2x12s, not wearing a harness and lanyard, although these items were available at the job site. One corner of the scaffold suddenly shifted down two or more feet. The victim lost his balance and fell to the concrete floor below. He was killed instantly from multiple injuries. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. All suspended scaffold workers should wear fall protective equipment as required by OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.501) and work within the handrail perimeter of suspended scaffolds. 2. Employers should develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes regular training in hazard recognition, and compliance with proper fall protective equipment. 3. Suspension scaffolds and related cable climber equipment must be properly constructed and inspected according to guidelines in 29 CFR 1926.451 (i).

Department of Health AB - A 17-year-old farm youth (victim) died of injuries sustained when he was struck by a bucket that fell from a front-end loader. On the day of the incident, the operator of a farm drove a tractor equipped with a front end loader to a farm site to haul some items. Shortly before the incident, the bucket was connected to a quick-connect coupling mechanism on the loader, but it was not secured in place with locking pins. After attaching the bucket, the farm operator drove the tractor between two farm sites. The victim apparently rode along on the tractor between the farm sites. When they arrived at the second farm site, they stopped at a closed farm gate and the victim got off the tractor and opened the gate. The operator drove the tractor through the opened gate and the victim closed it. The victim climbed into the bucket and the tractor operator raised the loader to a height of approximately five feet. The operator drove the tractor down a gravel driveway toward the farm site. It was not known how fast the tractor was driven down the gravel driveway. Along the way, the front wheels struck a bump that caused the loader to bounce and the bucket to unhook from the quick-connect mechanism. The victim fell from the bucket to the ground and was struck by the bucket as it fell to the ground. The tractor operator stopped and manually lifted the bucket from the victim. The operator drove back to the first farm site and placed a call to emergency medical personnel. They arrived shortly after being notified and pronounced the victim 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 never allow any passengers to ride along on equipment AB - and 2. all equipment locking devices should be properly installed before the equipment is used.
