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 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 75 year old male farmer was killed while loading manure in his barnyard. He was using a tricycle type narrow-front tractor equipped with a front-end loader to scoop up manure from the cattle yard, then load it into a manure spreader which was located downhill from him. While making a turn in reverse, with the loaded bucket in the raised position, the tractor tilted to the side and tipped over on the sloped ground. Since the tractor had no ROPS, and was positioned perpendicular to the slope, the tractor rolled completely over, crushing the victim. He was found dead at the scene a few hours later by his wife. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. 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. 3. Loading areas should be designed to minimize the risk of tractor and loader overturns. 4. Tractor front end loader operators should be made aware of overturn hazard and methods to reduce this hazard, including safe driving on sloping grounds, the changing center of gravity caused by a loader bucket, keeping the bucket low while driving, and using counterweights on the tractor.

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 07, 1994, a 26 year old maintenance man working for a family-owned street sweeping company died when he was crushed between the frame and container box of a dump truck. When the truck box failed to lift completely, the victim's employer, who was also his father, requested that he check and fill the hydraulic fluid level in the problematic truck. The employer then left the worksite. The victim proceeded with the task, apparently removing the plug from the hydraulic drainage/exhaust housing causing the remaining hydraulic fluid to escape and the unblocked container box to fall. The employer returned approximately one hour later and found his son pinned between the truck's container box and frame. He summoned emergency medical services immediately, and then used a company owned backhoe to raise the container box from his son. As he placed the victim on the ground, municipal fire department personnel arrived and began emergency medical treatment. The victim was transported to an area hospital where he was officially pronounced dead approximately forty minutes following his discovery. The MA FACE Field Investigator concluded, that to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that elevated parts of heavy equipment are suitably blocked from movement while being serviced. 2. 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 maintenance. 3. In addition, hydraulic system manufacturers should consider engineering safeguard systems that will prevent worker exposure to hazardous conditions while maintaining the equipment.

Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - A 22-year-old male machine operator who worked at a concrete block manufacturing facility died after being struck by the elevator of a concrete block cuber machine. The facility had nine workers on one shift AB - there was no safety manager, safety policy or written safety procedures. The victim was operating the metal stripping machine which placed metal bands around cubes of blocks, 90 blocks to a cube. The accident was not observed, but the victim apparently noted that a cube of blocks was lodged on the conveyor belt near the cuber machine. Although procedure required that the cuber machine be shut down and locked out before accessing the working area of the machine, the victim apparently opened a manually operated steel access gate into the machine's operating area while the machine was operating, entered the area and attempted to correct the positioning of the cube of blocks. The cuber machine cycled and the elevator dropped, striking the victim on the lower spine, and trapping him. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital due to crushing lower trunk injuries. Recommendations include the development, implementation, and enforcement of a written safety procedure including task specific training and lockout procedures, that consideration be given to the development and installation of interlocking gates which protect workers, and that a safety hazard analysis be conducted of all work areas.

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 52-year-old male logger was killed when he was struck by a log rolling off of his truck during the unloading process. The victim was a self-employed logger and had at least 25 years of experience. Using the family-owned truck, he hauled a load of logs to the mill AB - the vertical standards on the truck trailer were approximately three feet high with the logs stacked another 3-4 feet above the standards. He arrived at the mill at approximately 9am and began the unloading procedure. One of the chains that secured the load of logs on this truck was in two pieces and needed to be unhooked on both sides of the trailer. After unhooking the chains on one side of the truck, the victim walked to the other side of the vehicle and as he was bending over to unfasten the chain attached on that side, a log fell off of the stack, striking the victim on the back of the head and pinning him on the ground. The endloader driver for the mill was a witness to the incident. The victim was transported to the hospital by emergency medical personnel and pronounced dead at 10:30am. In order to prevent similar occurrences, FACE investigators recommend: 1. Height of the stack of logs should not exceed the height of the vertical standards on the truck trailer 2. Chains securing a load of logs should be long enough to allow loggers to unfasten chains on one side of the vehicle. 3. Written policies should be in place regarding unloading procedures for loggers at the mill. 4. Loggers should attend the Master Logger Program for education regarding OSHA logging standards and safety procedures.

Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center AB - A 21-year-old farm worker was killed in a tractor rollover incident. The victim was driving a tractor on a secondary public road, pulling an unloaded 18-foot flatbed trailer, when he lost control. After the tractor wheels went off the right side of the road, the victim overcorrected, which caused the vehicle to become unbalanced AB - he was thrown from the tractor as it overturned into a ditch. It was not equipped with an appropriate rollover protective structure (ROPS) or a seatbelt. The unit, which included a canopy, had been installed to provide shade on summer days and cover in occasional downpours, not to protect the operator in the event of a rollover. The victim's employer was the only eyewitness to the incident. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner. In order to prevent similar incidents, KY FACE investigators recommend that: 1. To provide the best protection for operators, tractors should be retrofitted with the appropriate rollover protective structures, installed by the equipment manufacturer or an authorized dealer. 2. Operator restraint systems (seatbelts) should also be installed by the equipment manufacturer or an authorized dealer. 3. Employers should provide safety training to employees, including information regarding potential hazards and safe operation of equipment.

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 - On February 24, 1995 a 27 year old worker for an agricultural maintenance company was killed while repairing a silo bottom unloading auger. The victim was working inside a cement silo filled with corn silage, repairing a sweep auger that was damaged due to frozen feed inside the silo. The worker was lying inside on the floor of the silo behind the auger safety shield when he shouted that he was clear of the auger. A workmate outside at the electric control panel turned on the auger for approximately 15 seconds to dislodge frozen corn silage in the auger. During that time the victim apparently reached to move a trouble light hanging near the auger, and got caught in the moving auger knives, severing his arm and shoulder, and causing severe chest injury. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead on arrival in the emergency room. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Employers should develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive written safety program. 2. Employers installing, servicing and repairing silo equipment should provide employee training and proper equipment for confined space entry. 3. Employers and workers should develop a procedure to prevent intentional and unintentional operation of the silo unloading mechanism when a worker is inside a silo or in close proximity to the unloading augers.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 23-year-old male building renovation contractor (victim) was electrocuted when a steel scaffold contacted an overhead power line. The victim and a coworker were tuck pointing the exterior of a two-story brick building. They had completed the removal of loose mortar from a portion of the building's west wall. The tubular steel scaffold consisted of five individual sections stacked on top of each other. The victim and the coworker rolled the scaffold on casters along the side of a building. Parallel to the side of the building was an 8,000 volt overhead power line. The scaffold was moved to the north end of the building wall and was being moved around a corner and up onto an asphalt parking area. The scaffold had to be raised approximately six inches from the ground up onto the asphalt. The victim walked backward and pulled on the scaffold while the coworker pushed it across the ground. When they reached the corner of the building, the scaffold was turned and positioned at an angle with respect to the building. The victim lifted the leading edge of the scaffold to get the caster closest to the asphalt onto the asphalt . When he lifted the front of the scaffold, the scaffold corner nearest the power line contacted the line. A path to ground was completed through the victim and he was electrocuted. Two employees in the building heard a loud noise when the power line burst and saw the victim on the ground immediately after the incident occurred. They placed a call to emergency medical personnel and then ran outside and began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Emergency medical personnel arrived within several minutes and transported the victim to a local hospital where he died about one hour later. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, employers should: 1. contact the local electrical utility to assist or provide guidance whenever work is performed in the vicinity of overhead power lines AB - 2. provide extendable aerial platforms instead of fixed scaffolding whenever possible AB - and 3. ensure employees follow safe work practices whenever working near overhead power lines or with materials which may contact overhead power lines.

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 and video tape of the incident site. Additional information was obtained during an interview with the county sheriff who responded to the scene. A 41-year-old farmer (victim) died after he was attacked and injured by one or more bull. The bulls escaped when they pushed down a section of a lot fence that consisted of steel cattle panels wired to steel fence posts. The victim was tilling a field in preparation for spring planting when he noticed that several bulls had gotten out of the fenced lot. He drove his tractor to the edge of his farm place, stopped, got off of it, and began to herd the animals toward the fenced lot. He herded the animals between several parallel confinement buildings that were approximately 40 to 50 feet apart. When he was near the middle of the area between the confinement buildings, one or more of the bulls turned and charged the victim. He was unable to avoid the bull(s) and was knocked to the ground within several feet of one of the confinement buildings. He may have been repeatedly attacked by the animal(s) since there were many fresh hoof prints in the area near where he was found. The victim's wife discovered him but was unable to get near him because of the aggressive bulls. She placed a call to emergency personnel who arrived at the scene shortly after they were notified. They reached the victim after the bulls were safely herded from the scene. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and it was determined that he probably died a short time before being found by his wife. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. livestock lot fences should be constructed of sufficient strength to contain all animals confined within the fenced area AB - and 2. livestock lot fences should be routinely inspected and maintained.

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 77-year-old male farmer (the victim) died after becoming entangled in a corn picker/husker. He had been harvesting corn from his field using a tractor equipped with a power take-off (PTO) that powered the picker/husker. The picker/husker was equipped with guards over some sprockets and chains on the sides and back of the machine. However, other operating parts of the machine were unguarded. He got off the tractor while the tractor was running with the PTO engaged, and was positioned near the sprockets, drive chains, and a revolving shaft of the picker. His clothing apparently was caught by the shaft and he was pulled into the operating machine. Earlier in the afternoon his wife had been working in the field with him, driving a truck that he loaded with the husked corn. She left the field after he indicated he did not need her help then, and returned to their house where she had a view of his work area. About one half hour later she noted that the tractor was stopped and she returned to the field to investigate. She found the victim entangled in the picker/husker, shut off the PTO, and went to the house to summon emergency services. EMS responders arrived and disengaged the PTO from the picker/grinder shaft to free the victim from the machine. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, farm machine/equipment operators should: 1. Observe and follow all applicable safety precautions when operating machinery driven by tractor power take-off equipment, including disengaging the PTO and stopping the tractor engine before approaching the machinery. 2. Identify machinery/equipment components that allow contact with a point of operation, and ensure that appropriate guards, recommended by the manufacturer or dealer, are installed.

Department of Health AB - A 13-year-old male farm youth (victim) died of injuries sustained after he was engulfed in corn inside a steel grain bin. The bin had an oval door on one side that was fitted with both an interior door that opened into the bin and an exterior door that opened to the outside. The interior door had a square discharge opening that was used to allow corn to flow from the bin when it was being emptied. A steel ladder was fastened to the side of the bin and provided access to an opening in the bin roof that was located along the side of a steel ladder fastened to the bin roof. The victim and his father used a portable auger to remove corn from the bin. A semi-truck was parked beneath the discharge end of the auger. The victim's father started the auger, opened the small discharge opening and began to remove corn from the steel bin. The victim climbed the steel bin ladder and opened the cover to the roof opening. He remained seated on the roof ladder and observed the corn being removed from the bin. About fifteen minutes after they began unloading the bin, the victim's father walked to the truck and drove it forward so the rest of the truck box could be filled. When he exited the truck, he noticed that his son was no longer sitting on the bin roof ladder. He climbed the bin ladder but could not see his son when he looked into the bin. He returned to the ground and saw a tennis shoe come out of the small discharge opening. He stopped the auger but was unable to open the interior bin door due to the force exerted against it by the corn. He used a tractor equipped with a front end loader to attempt to puncture the bin but the loader broke when it struck the bin. He ran to the farm house and placed a call to emergency personnel. Emergency personnel arrived shortly after being notified and used power saws to cut several holes in the sides of the bin. The victim was removed from the bin and transported to a local hospital. Later he was air lifted to a major medical center where he died two days later. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. workers should not position themselves near grain bin access openings while a bin is being filled or emptied AB - 2. workers should follow established confined space entry procedures when entering grain bins AB - and 3. grain bins should be identified as confined spaces and posted with hazard warning signs at all entrances.

Department of Health AB - 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 an interview with a county sheriff's deputy who responded to the scene. A 37-year-old farmer (victim) was electrocuted while working on a bale conveyor. The victim and his son were performing general maintenance on the bale conveyor in the hayloft of a farm barn. The conveyor was suspended horizontally near the peak or ridge of the barn roof. It was powered by an electric motor that was mounted on a metal frame of the conveyor. Although the conveyor was mounted in a permanent configuration in the hayloft, electrical power was provided via a long electrical cord and/or an extension cord. The electrical cord insulation was frayed near the motor and apparently contacted the metal frame on which the electric motor was mounted. While they worked on the conveyor, the victim's son told his father that he received an electrical shock when he contacted the conveyor. The victim touched the conveyor, completed a path to ground and received an electrical shock. The electrical shock caused him to fall from a stack of bales on which he was standing. The victim's son heard his father call for help and immediately ran and turned off the circuit breakers that controlled power to the conveyor. He notified his mother of the incident and she placed a call to emergency personnel. Emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene approximately 10 minutes after being notified. They performed resuscitation efforts at the scene and while the victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead approximately one hour after the incident occurred.

Department of Health AB - The victim was working alone at the time that the incident occurred. This report is based on a review of a written sheriff's department report and copies of their photos of the incident site and a review of the county coroner's report. A 53-year-old male teacher/handy-man (victim) died of injuries sustained when he fell from the second-story roof of a house while installing shingles. He had removed the old shingles and roofing materials from the house on the day prior to the incident. On the day of the incident, the homeowner secured the house and left the residence at approximately 7:00 a.m. The victim arrived sometime later and installed four complete rows of shingles across the roof and partially completed two additional rows. He was not using any personal fall protection equipment at the time of the incident. While installing the shingles, he apparently fell from the roof. The homeowner arrived home at approximately 5:00 p.m. and found the victim laying on a stone stairway near the house. The victim was laying on his right side with his head on the third step, from the top, of the stone stairway. An extension ladder was leaning in a tilted position against the second story of the house and the feet of the ladder were partially resting on the victim. A wood plank which supported the ladder was found at the victim's feet on the stone steps. The homeowner immediately called emergency medical personnel who arrived at the scene shortly after being called. They examined the victim and pronounced him dead at the scene. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of a similar incident, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. whenever work is performed at an elevation where the potential for a fall exists, fall protection equipment should be used AB - and 2. a catch platform should be properly installed and used whenever possible to provide a safe work platform.

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 - On February 7, 1995, a 37 year old male farmer died while cleaning a skid-steer loader. On this machine the left foot pedal is used to raise and lower the loader arms, and the right pedal controls the bucket tilt. The pedals of this machine were seized up with frozen manure, snow, and ice, and the victim was attempting to free up these pedals. It was a cold and windy day, and the victim was in a hurry. At the time of the accident the skid-loader bucket was in the "up" position, jammed up against the door frame of an old garage used for storage of the machine. Mechanical lift arm safety stops are included with this machine, but require the lift arms to be in the full "UP" position. While working in front of the machine in a low crouched position, the victim apparently loosened the left pedal enough to allow the bucket to fall on him, pinning him between the bucket and the machine. The machine is equipped with a hydraulic lever interlock, which is connected to the safety belt. When the safety belt is not worn, the bucket and lift arm controls cannot be moved. This feature had been disabled by the victim. Rescue efforts by the victim's wife and another employee were delayed because the pedals were still frozen and inoperable. Mechanical lifting by the fire department using the Jaws of Life was required to raise the bucket sufficiently to provide access to the victim. Recommendations following our investigation were as follows: 1. Operators of skid-steer loaders should be made aware of the dangerous condition created by disabling machine's safety devices. 2. Manufacturers should provide at least three mechanisms to prevent the loader from falling unintentionally on the operator. 3. Operators of skid-steer loaders should always secure the loader by mechanical means whenever working under the bucket. 4. Equipment should have a proper place of storage that allows for safe maintenance and cleaning. 5. Manufacturers should design equipment and controls to function in wet, muddy, or cold conditions when these conditions are frequently encountered in normal operation.

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 22-year-old male maintenance machinist trainee (the victim) died after becoming entangled in a rotating shaft of a vertical boring mill. He was drilling holes in the concrete perimeter walls of a 32 inch deep machine pit that contained the boring machine. A 2 1/2 inch diameter shaft extended vertically 9 feet from a baseplate on the floor of the pit to the upper portion of the machine. The shaft was unguarded and centrally located 16 inches from the machine edge, and 16 inches from the pit wall, and was rotating at a rate of 3-4 rotations a minute. The victim was apparently positioned adjacent to the shaft when the sleeve of his jacket was caught and pulled by the shaft and he was whirled around the shaft and his head struck the machine edge. A co-worker heard the victim yell, turned in his direction, and saw him caught on the shaft. The co-worker ran to the control panel, hit the emergency stop button, and went to his office to call 911. Another co-worker ran to the victim's aid and attempted to suspend his body until rescue workers arrived. He was transported to the emergency room, where he was pronounced dead. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Enclose/guard mechanical power-transmission equipment (e.g., vertical drive shafts), where the potential exists for an employee to become entangled or caught in the equipment. 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. Designate a competent person to conduct regular safety inspections. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 46-year-old male hog farmer (the victim) died after becoming entangled in the rotating driveline shaft of a portable feed grinder/mixer. The grinder was connected to a tractor equipped with a power take-off (PTO), which powered the grinder driveline and pulley system. The victim was working alone in the barnyard, grinding shelled corn for animal feed. He apparently had completed the grinding activities and was standing on ice-covered soil near the rotating driveline. Then, he either slipped and fell onto the driveline, or his clothing was caught and pulled by protruding bolts on the hub of the grinder pulley. He was spun around the driveshaft, and portions of his clothing were entangled on the driveshaft and torn from his body. A family member approached the site of the incident, noticed the victim's clothing whirling on the shaft and went to the farmhouse to call a neighbor for assistance. A neighbor arrived and shut off the PTO and the tractor. Meanwhile, the sheriff and EMS were summoned, and responded within eight minutes. The coroner's office was contacted, and pronounced the victim dead at the scene. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, farm machine/equipment operators should: 1. Identify machinery/equipment components that are PTO driven, and ensure that appropriate guards, recommended by the manufacturer or dealer, are installed. 2. Turn off machinery/equipment before attempting to make repairs, adjustments, or perform maintenance. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

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 47-year-old part-time farmer (victim) died of injuries sustained when the tractor he was driving overturned. He used a farm tractor and loader to move a large round hay bale into a steel feed bunk located in a farm pasture. The tractor was not equipped with a general purpose enclosed cab or a rollover protective structure. A front-end loader, equipped with a general purpose bucket was mounted on the tractor. The victim loaded a large round hay bale into the loader bucket and drove the tractor through the pasture. Scattered throughout the sod pasture were numerous rocks of varying sizes that were partially exposed. While the victim drove the tractor across inclined terrain that sloped to the tractor's right, the left rear wheel drove over an exposed rocks. The additional tilt of the tractor when the wheel traveled over the rock caused the tractor to overturn. It overturned 180 degrees to the right and came to rest upside down. The victim was pinned to the ground beneath the right side loader frame. The victim's wife and another woman observed the tractor overturn from a farm house window. They immediately called emergency medical personnel who arrived at the scene shortly after being notified. The victim was removed from under the tractor and pronounced 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. while in motion, tractors with loaders should be operated with the loader in the lowest possible position.

Department of Health AB - A 30-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 approximately 200 bushels of shelled corn. The tractor was not equipped with a rollover protective structure or a general purpose cab. The shelled corn was being hauled into a pasture to be placed in a cattle feedbunk. The victim's father drove a pick-up to the pasture and opened a pasture gate shortly before his son arrived with the tractor and wagon. The gate was located near the top of a steep hill that sloped down into the pasture. The victim slowly drove the tractor up to the open pasture gate. He slowed the tractor at the gate to nearly a complete stop and shifted the transmission into neutral. With the transmission in neutral, the force of the wagon and corn pushed the tractor down the hill. The victim used the brakes to control the speed of the tractor and wagon down the hill. Near the bottom of the hill, he turned the tractor to the right to begin a turn around the feedbunk. As the tractor turned, it slid to the side and overturned 180 degrees to the left and came to rest upside down. The victim was thrown from the tractor and pinned beneath the right fender and the right rear wheel. Emergency medical personnel were called and arrived at the scene approximately 10 minutes after the incident occurred. CPR was immediately administered by the victim's father and was continued by medical personnel while the victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. 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 exceed the weight of the tractor AB - and 3. operators should lock both brake pedals together when driving in slippery conditions.
