Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program

U.S. workplace deaths remain a public health crisis, with over 5,000 annual fatalities concentrated in high-risk sectors like construction, transportation, and agriculture. To address this under the OSH Act, NIOSH runs the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program, a non-regulatory initiative providing safety guidance through independent, non-enforcement investigations. Structurally, FACE operates as a unified effort split into two distinct, complementary branches: a centralized, national In-House program run directly by NIOSH, and a decentralized network of State FACE programs funded via cooperative agreements. While both share common goals and methods, they differ significantly in their organizational structure, authority, influence, and how they implement findings locally across diverse regional industries. Together, they generate extensive prevention resources and adapt to emerging workplace hazards.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - The victim was working alone at the time that the unwitnessed incident occurred. As a result, this report is based upon information obtained during the site investigation interviews and an inspection of the incident site. A 57-year-old male feed truck driver (victim) died of injuries sustained after falling from a wooden ladder. On the day of the incident, the victim delivered hog feed to a local farmer. He arrived at the farm and parked the feed truck approximately 25 feet away from two feed storage bins. An auger on the truck transferred the feed into the bins through an opening in the roof of each bin. The roof openings were fitted with covers that were accessed from ladders secured to the outside of the bins. The victim climbed a wooden ladder and while standing on it, removed the cover from the round bin. He climbed down, positioned the auger over the opening in the bin roof and started the truck unloading auger. At some time while the bin was being filled, the victim apparently fell from the ladder. He may have climbed the ladder to determine if the bin was nearly full. Because of the fall, he apparently struck his head on the frozen ground and sustained fatal skull fractures. Approximately 90 minutes after the victim arrived at the farm, he was found by the farm owner. The victim was found lying face down on the ground near the base of the wooden ladder. The farmer immediately placed a call to local emergency medical personnel. They arrived approximately 15 minutes later 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. feed bin manufacturers should design and develop a system that would enable workers to remove roof opening covers from ground level AB - and 2. employers should ensure that all employees are provided periodic safety training reviews of established safety programs.

Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center AB - A 63-year-old retired bus driver was pinned underneath a rear tractor tire after it overturned while he was bushhogging. The 40-year-old tricycle tractor, not equipped with a ROPS or a seatbelt, had a bushhog attached. On the morning of the incident, the operator and his brother were mowing a portion of a pasture. At about 9:30 am, the victim started mowing at the bottom of a steep slope, and then progressed toward the top of the ridge. In order to make turns he had to circle around three dogwood trees at the top of the ridge. His brother was mowing in a neighboring pasture at the time of the incident. When he noticed that he no longer heard the victim's tractor running, he went to check and discovered the victim pinned underneath the rear wheel of the tractor. He called the EMS\coroner's office at 4:10 pm. The victim was pronounced dead at 4:30 pm due to cervical fracture 4,5,6. Investigators conclude, in order to prevent future fatalities, tractor owners and operators should: 1. Retrofit tractors with Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and seatbelts AB - 2. Avoid operating tricycle tractors on steep terrain AB - 3. Avoid operating tractors on slick terrain AB - 4. Operators should be trained in tractor safety.

Department of Health AB - A 62-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when he fell through a fiberglass skylight panel in the roof of a pole barn. On the day of the incident, he drove a tractor equipped with a front-end loader to the west side of the barn. He raised the loader to a height of 9 or 10 feet. After he raised the loader, he walked on the tractor hood and then climbed into the loader bucket. From the bucket, he climbed onto the roof and walked up the roof to the point where a rope was tied into the ridge vent. He held the rope in one hand as he pushed snow from the roof. As he worked near the south end of the barn roof, he stepped on a fiberglass skylight panel. The panel broke and the victim fell through the panel. He was unable to maintain his grip on the rope and fell to the concrete floor of the barn. After falling, the victim walked or crawled unassisted from the south end of the barn to a milkhouse in the northwest corner of the barn. After he reached the milkhouse, he collapsed on the floor and died. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, 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 - 2. skylight panels in the roof of existing pole buildings should be removed AB - and 3. pole building manufacturers should not provide fiberglass skylight roof panels as an option for allowing natural light inside buildings.

The workers had completed loading the second forklift and were raising the load when the lift's front wheels slipped off the edge of the dock. The forklift fell off the dock, striking the first forklift at ground level and turning it over. The victim, who was operating the first lift, was crushed under the roll cage as it turned over. NJDOH FACE investigators recommend the following safety guidelines to prevent similar incidents in the future: 1. Employers should ensure that employees are properly trained and equipped in the proper method of moving materials. 2. Employers should develop and implement a written training and certification program for operating forklift trucks. 3. Employers should conduct a job hazard analysis of all work activities with the participation of the workers. 4. Employers and employees should develop and implement a comprehensive safety program. 5. Forklift operators should be instructed to wear safety belts.

Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 22-year-old construction laborer (the victim) died after falling 26 feet from the leading edge of a roof to the concrete floor below. The victim was a member of a 7-person crew that was installing sheet metal roof panels on a warehouse under construction. The flat top roof was constructed of metal bar joists, with fiberglass roll insulation and double layers of metal roofing running perpendicular to the joists. Each sheet of roofing measured 50 feet long by 2 feet wide, and the long edges of the roofing panels had molded edges that formed 3 inch high ridges when installed. There was no fall protection equipment in use at the time of the incident. The victim and a co-worker were on the roof carrying a panel toward the leading edge of the roof, when the victim tripped and fell head first over the edge of the roof to the concrete floor 26 feet below. A co-worker called an ambulance, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Implement currents standard(s) which require the use of fall protection equipment when working from elevations. 2. Select and appoint a designated safety person to develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in fall hazard recognition and the use of fall protection equipment. 3.

Department of Health Services AB - A 51-year-old white, non-Hispanic, male engineer (victim #1) and a 53-year-old white, non-Hispanic, male engineer (victim #2) died when an explosion occurred while they were at work testing chemical compounds. Both victims were pyrotechnic experts. A third worker was also hospitalized with second- and third-degree burns. The three workers were testing chemical compounds in order to enhance the ignition of solid and liquid propellants in rocket engines. At the time of the incident, the ambient temperature was 81 degrees F. and the relative humidity was 17%. The ignition procedure involved putting sawdust on a flat metal sheet, followed by a layer of glycidylazide polymer, and finally a layer of nitrocellulose. The sheet was surrounded by metal shields. An electric match and a small pouch of black powder were used to ignite the substance once everyone was safely out of the area. Two tests had been conducted that morning and a third test was being set up when the explosion occurred. According to co-workers, the chemicals were in place and one of the victims was about to, or was, adding more nitrocellulose to the mixture when a loud explosion occurred. They ran to the site of the explosion and found both victims with obviously fatal injuries. The third worker was found lying approximately 10 feet from the blast site. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. establish, implement and maintain an effective, written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), specifically referencing safety training procedures for all new tasks and how inspections should be conducted to identify and evaluate hazards with regard to any new tasks. 2. prohibit employees from processing or blending static sensitive explosives in less than 20 percent relative humidity. 3. not allow the processing, blending and/or mixing of explosive materials in an area immediately adjacent to a test stand which had been used during a previous test. 4. ensure that employees working with highly ignitable materials and their equipment are properly grounded.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Boyle, Debora AU - Kerr, Steven AU - Parker, David L. A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 34-year-old male sawmill foreman (victim) died of injuries sustained after his legs were severed by a saw blade. The incident occurred at the location of a log home manufacturing facility while the victim and three co-workers performed a non-routine timber saw maintenance operation. The timber saw consisted of a four-foot diameter saw blade and a metal carriage used to hold and transport logs during the sawing operation. The carriage movement was controlled by a continuous cable system driven by a horizontal rotating drum located slightly forward of the saw blade. Drum rotation moved the carriage forward or backward along the carriage track-way. On the day of the incident, the cable had shifted laterally off of the drum (travelled) during it's use which required maintenance to re-install the cable. The procedure for cable re-installation required manual rotation of the saw blade while the drum transmission mechanism was activated. This allowed the drum to be rotated while the cable was guided back onto it. The victim and co-workers de-energized the saw and locked-out the main electrical power switch. The workers attempted to install the cable by turning the saw blade until the victim decided to reactivate power to the saw. The lock was removed from the main power switch, the electric motor started, and the drum transmission engaged allowing the drum to rotate. The victim positioned himself in the center of the carriage track-way and proceeded to guide the cable onto the drum. When the final portion of loose cable wrapped onto the drum, cable tension was re-established causing the drum to pull the carriage down the track-way towards the victim and saw blade. The victim attempted to move out of the carriage path but was contacted by the carriage which pushed the victim through the saw resulting in the amputation of the victim's legs. MN FACE investigators concluded that to reduce the likelihood of a similar incident, the following activities should be performed: 1. prevent the carriage cable from travelling off of the drum AB - 2. develop and enforce performance of approved maintenance and lock-out/tag-out procedures for cable re-installation AB - 3. design the saw blade and cable drum to operate independently AB - and 4. install emergency shut-off switches at locations where personnel may be expected to work or perform routine maintenance.

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 59 year old male plaster laborer (the victim) died after falling from a scaffold and striking his head on asphalt pavement. The victim and a co-worker had erected the welded tubular scaffolding on the outside wall of a single-story building, and planned to bring the railings and access ladder to the worksite the next day. Near the end of the workday, the victim returned extra tools and equipment to the supply truck, removed his safety helmet, and returned to the scaffold area. The co-worker was positioned on the top of the unguarded scaffold, 12 feet from the ground, when the victim started to climb the scaffold bracing. The co-worker was turned away from the victim, but heard a clanging sound on the bracing. He turned to see the victim lying on the ground, and called to an employee of a nearby business to summon an ambulance. The ambulance transported the victim to an emergency room, where he died 6 hours later of head injuries. The FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that safe access is provided to the work platforms of all scaffolds. 2. Ensure that adequate fall protection is used by workers on scaffolds. 3. Evaluate their current written safety program and incorporate specific training procedures that emphasize the importance of recognizing and avoiding hazards in the workplace. These procedures should include, but not be limited to, conducting hazard evaluations before initiating work at a job site, and implementing appropriate controls. 4. Encourage workers to actively participate in workplace safety. In addition, manufacturers of protective headwear should: 5. Continue research and development of protective headwear that would eliminate or reduce the severity of injuries from falls.

TY - Field Study A2 - Wyoming Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Project (Wyoming FACE) A2 - Wyoming Occupational Fatality Analysis Program AB - A 42 year old male trona miner died from injuries received when the roof of a cave fell on him. The victim was part of an eight man team removing styrofoam stoppings with a two-man 6' drill auger to establish ventilation in preparation to drive a bleeder system to the south of the area. As he and his co-worker were moving into place to remove the stopping, a slab dropped from the ceiling, striking the victim and knocking him down. A co-worker that was in the process of being relieved was struck by falling rock which pinned his legs to the floor. Other workers who were waiting their turn at the operation called for help and crew members quickly began trying to remove the injured workers from the debris. Within a few minutes after the cave-in, porta-power devices and a mechanical jack were brought in to remove debris, and the victim was freed about 50 minutes after the incident occurred. CPR was started after the victim had been removed from under the slab and was continued until he had been brought to ground surface approximately 30 minutes after having been freed from the debris. He was pronounced dead at the scene, from thoracic trauma due to crushing impact to the chest. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1. Increase the size and strength of pillars and roof bolts used to secure ceilings in tunnels. 2. Install temporary supports to supplement permanent braces when removing or replacing stoppings. 3. Enhance safety briefings and training programs to place more emphasis on preventions and hazards of potential roof cave-ins.
