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 - A 44-year-old male farmer (victim) suffocated after he was engulfed in corn inside a steel grain bin. The bin was equipped with an unloading auger mounted between a raised steel floor and the concrete base that supported the bin. It was also equipped with a ventilation fan designed to circulate air through the grain stored in the bin. The fan was not turned on at the time of the incident. The bin was approximately two-thirds full of corn at the time of the incident. The victim and his brother were removing corn from the bin on the afternoon of the incident. They were both outside the bin as the unloading auger filled a farm wagon with corn. When the wagon was nearly full, the victim's brother entered the wagon to level the corn. As he leveled the corn, they both noticed that the flow of corn from the auger was gradually decreasing. They thought the reduced flow was caused by crusted grain blocking the auger intake in the bin floor. The victim walked around the bin and climbed a ladder to an access opening in the bin roof. He entered the bin with a steel rod to push through the corn to the auger intake. Apparently after he pushed the rod down into the corn, he broke the crusted grain blocking the auger intake. The flow of corn into the auger suddenly increased and he was quickly engulfed in the flowing grain. Approximately five minutes after the victim entered the bin, the victim's brother stopped the unloading auger. He immediately climbed the ladder to the roof access opening and noticed only the victim's arm above the corn. He entered the bin and uncovered the victim's head but was unable to pull him from the corn. He exited the bin, placed a 911 call, and notified another brother of the situation. The victim's two brothers entered the bin and pulled the victim from the corn. They began performing resuscitation efforts which they continued until rescue personnel arrived. Rescue personnel removed the victim from the bin and continued resuscitation efforts as the victim was transferred to a local hospital. He was pronounced dead at the hospital approximately one hour after he entered the bin. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. all equipment used to fill or empty a grain bin should be stopped, and the power source locked out, before workers enter the bin AB - 2. workers should follow established confined space entry procedures when entering grain bins AB - 3. grain bins should be identified as confined spaces and posted with hazard warning signs at all entrances AB - and 4. grain bin ventilation fans should be turned on and operating properly before workers enter bins which are either full or partially full.

Department of Health AB - A 36-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when a wood frame building he was moving fell. He used two large building jacks to raise one end of the building high enough to slide a skid under the building. He then lowered the jacks and set the building on the skid. The building was not secured or fastened in any manner directly to the skid. He hooked a chain around one end of the skid and then hooked the chain to the hitch of his four-wheel drive pick-up. Using his pick-up, he pulled the skid and building approximately 200 yards across a pasture. As he pulled the building up a slight incline in the terrain, the front of the building slid off the skid. He stopped and used a general purpose jack to raise the front of the building approximately two feet. He did not support the raised building with blocks or stands to prevent it from falling. After he raised the building, he crawled under the front of the building apparently to reposition the skid. The raised building suddenly slipped off the jack and fell on the victim's back, shoulders and head. He was discovered by his brother who raised the building and removed the victim. Emergency personnel were called and arrived at the scene where the victim was pronounced dead. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. all buildings and/or equipment supported or raised on jacks should be securely blocked if workers are required to crawl underneath the raised unit AB - and 2. when working on the ground, a heavy block should be placed under the base of all jacks.

Department of Health Services AB - A 27-year-old white, Hispanic male warehouseman (employee #1) died from asphyxiation when he fell through a salt bridge into an air pocket and was buried by salt in a storage bin. The decedent and a co-worker (employee #2) had been instructed to enter the salt storage bin from the top entrance and to use shovels to loosen salt which had stuck to the walls of the bin. Both employee # 1 and #2 were wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), including a harness and lanyard. Two other co-workers (employees 3 & 4) "tied off" their lanyards and attached a manual winch to raise and lower employees inside the bin. Both employee #1 and #2 at work inside the bin when the surface of salt gave way. Employee #2 fell approximately 15 feet into the air pocket below the salt bridge and employee #1 fell approximately 20 feet into the air pocket. Employee #2 was restrained by his lanyard and did not suffer any serious injury. Employee #1's lanyard had more slack allowing him to be buried by the salt. Co-workers called 911 and began to dig the salt away from the bottom entrance to the bin. The Fire Department arrived, and the decedent was brought out of the bin approximately 15 to 20 minutes after the incident occurred. He was in full arrest at that time and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 8:44 a.m. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. install devices that prevent stored granular materials from lodging on the inside of bins. 2. identify salt bins as confined spaces and post hazard warning signs at all entrances and develop written comprehensive policies and procedures for confined space entry. 3. address rescue operations whenever workers are assigned to areas where the potential for falls or entrapment exists. 4. provide fall protection equipment and training for all workers who may be exposed to fall hazards and 5. conduct inspections on equipment to assure proper fit and use. 6. not allow workers to stand on or work from the surface of loose, granular materials, capable of bridging, even when the surface appears to be stable. 7. ensure that employees are trained in hazard recognition and safety awareness.

Department of Health Services AB - On March 9, 1994, a 46-year-old black, non-Hispanic male truck driver (the decedent) died after being crushed by his delivery truck. The decedent was in the process of unloading the truck for his employer, a liquor and spirits wholesale distributor, when the incident occurred. There were no witnesses to the incident. The victim had parked the truck, designed with an air-activated braking system, in a parking lot about 25-30 feet from the back of the market building where he was making a delivery. The truck was parked on a slight incline with its rear door facing the back door of the market. The victim was found pinned between the truck's bumper and a building drainpipe. The parking brake had not been secured, allowing the truck to roll backwards and pin the victim between the truck's bumper and the building drainpipe. Employees from the store called 911 and the victim was taken to a local hospital where he remained for the next two days. His condition gradually deteriorated, and he died from massive internal injuries. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences: 1. employers should provide delivery drivers with some form of roll prevention device ("chock") such as wooden blocks, provide employee training in how to safely use them, and require their use behind rear tires to prevent trucks from rolling backwards when parked. In addition, manufacturers and equipment designers should: 2. equip commercial vehicles used by delivery drivers with an automatic alarm system that is activated when the emergency brake has not been set.

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 May 24, 1994 a 22 year old male pilot plant operator was fatally injured at a Massachusetts biotechnology company when he opened a pressure vessel which was still under pressure. The victim was extracting the compound taxol from yew needles in a near "super critical" fluid process which employed methanol and carbon dioxide, at a pressure of 2,000 pounds per square inch (psi). The victim, who was alone, was at the end of the procedure when the pressure release occurred. Apparently believing the vessel to be depressurized, the victim attempted to remove the heavy steel cover. It appears he removed the four bolts holding the cover in place, and was attempting to remove the retaining flanges when the cover of the vessel blew. The pressure was released, throwing the victim 10 feet across the room. An assistant to the company president noted that the building's alarm and sprinkler systems had been activated, and alerted the president as he was leaving the building. Within 15 seconds the president found the victim, with a slight pulse, entangled in equipment. Paramedics were immediately summoned. The victim was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead later than night. In order to prevent future similar occurrences, the MA FACE Program recommends that employers: 1. And equipment manufacturers install safe guards, such as mechanical interlocks, on pressure vessels to ensure that they are completely depressurized prior to being opened. 2. Use a system of "checks and balances" to verify whether residual pressure remains in pressure vessels. 3. Ensure that all operators of pressure vessels are fully trained prior to allowing them to operate a system. 4. Use procedures for minimizing the potential for materials blockage in those supercritical extraction processes prone to blockage. 5. Develop procedures to insure the purity grade of solvents used in supercritical fluid systems. 6. Ensure that process equipment and operations undergo safety reviews before going into service in research, pilot or production capacities. In addition, government agencies should: 7. Consider developing safety standards to protect employees who operate pressure vessels.

At the time of the incident, the victim was mowing a pasture along the creek bed. The tractor was not equipped with a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or a seat belt. Attached to the tractor was a five-foot bush hog. About 3:00 pm the day of the incident, the victim began mowing a 30-acre bottom land pasture by entering a gate on the east of the pasture. The victim drove in a westward direction across the center of the field toward the west end of the field. Along the south and west edges of the rectangular field was a creek and to the north a fence paralleling a public roadway. Having reached the near western end of the pasture, the victim began a cut parallel to the creek heading west with the left side of the tractor bordering the creek embankment. As the victim began the cut along the creek, the left front wheel went over the edge, causing the tractor to roll over to the left and turn over. The victim was pinned from the waist up under the left fender in six inches of water. The victim was alone at the time of the incident and was discovered two hours later by his father and a farm hand. The investigator concluded that in order to prevent future fatalities tractor owners and operators should: 1. Retrofit tractors with Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belts 2. Maintain equipment in prime working condition 3. Assess terrain prior to beginning any operation involving equipment 4. Additionally, county officials should consider initiating a countywide 911 emergency service.

Department of Health AB - On June 17, 1994, a 33-year-old service technician was electrocuted by 220 volts A.C. while repairing a central air condenser unit located outside a residence. The victim had repaired a leak in the condenser coil and was preparing to check for electrical faults. He was kneeling on moist ground in front of the open side of the unit and was in contact with the case on the side of his abdomen. Later testing of the unit revealed that the compressor unit had an internal short, subsequently electrifying the case. The ground wire to the casing had been removed by the victim, and when the compressor shorted out, the victim provided the path-to-ground and suffered a fatal electrical shock. The MO FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. require that all electrical equipment be de-energized before any repairs are performed AB - 2. provide employees with education and training in the recognition and avoidance of electrical hazards AB - 3. ensure that electrical equipment is installed to meet the manufacturers specifications, and ensure that equipment is restored to the manufacturers specifications before any work is begun.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 46-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when he became entangled in the unshielded auger of a cattle lot feedbunk. The victim was unloading feed from an upright silo equipped with an automatic silo unloader. The feed dropped down the silo chute and into a pile at one end of the feedbunk. The unshielded auger filled the feedbunk by moving feed down the center of the feedbunk. While the system was operating, the victim apparently entered the feedbunk and walked approximately one third of the distance down it. He either slipped and fell or attempted to step over the auger, and his right leg became entangled in the auger. He sustained several large lacerations on the back side of his right thigh. After a fuse blew for the auger motor and the system stopped, he freed himself from the auger. He climbed out of the feedbunk and either walked or crawled a short distance to exit the cattle lot. He entered the farm yard and continued approximately 25 to 30 feet past the silo where he collapsed and died. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. all augers should be stopped, and the power source locked out, before operators attempt to perform any service or repair work AB - and 2. all augers should be shielded to prevent operators from becoming entangled.

He left his farm yard, with the tractor and baler, about 2:00 p.m. on the afternoon of the incident. At approximately 4:00 p.m., a motorist drove past the field where the victim worked and noticed smoke coming from the baler. Upon investigation, he found the tractor engine running at full throttle and the PTO engaged but the baler was not operating. The motorist noticed that the victim had been pulled into the front of the baler and was trapped between two steel rollers above the baler pickup mechanism. The motorist climbed into the tractor cab and shut off the engine. He attempted to remove the victim from the baler but was unable to free him. The baler suddenly burst into flames and the motorist had to retreat from the intense flames. He immediately used his cellular telephone and placed a 911 call. When local fire and emergency rescue personnel arrived, they extinguished the fire and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. operators should observe and follow all applicable safety precautions when operating PTO-powered equipment AB - and 2. operators should never reach into any machine while it is running.

Department of Health AB - A 74-year-old male farmer (victim) died from injuries sustained when he was struck by a field drag section which stuck to a rear tire of the tractor he was driving. The tractor was not equipped with either a rollover protective structure or a general purpose cab. A front-end loader, equipped with a general purpose bucket, was mounted on the tractor. He was assembling sections of a field drag in an open area near his farm grove. He placed the sections in the loader bucket to haul them from the farm grove. While hauling a section of the drag from the grove, the section fell from the bucket. Apparently he didn't notice it fall from the bucket. As he drove forward, the left front and left rear tractor tires drove over the section. The drag tines punctured the rear tire and apparently the drag section stuck to the rear tire. As he continued driving forward, the drag section was carried up and around the rear tire and struck the victim in the back of the head. He was knocked from the tractor and was found dead in the area where he was assembling the drag sections. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. all items, such as equipment, machines, construction material, rocks, etc., hauled in loader buckets should be tied or chained securely to the bucket AB - and 2. tractors equipped with loaders should also be equipped with an enclosed rollover protective structure or a general purpose cab.

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 65-year-old farmer died after his tractor overturned, pinning him underneath. The victim, working alone, began mowing with a bush hog along the perimeter of a soybean field. At approximately 12:30 pm, the victim was about 1/4 mile from the main road mowing blackberry briars along a creek bed. This area was between the bean field and a creek embankment. Having made two cuts into the brush about 30 feet apart for the purpose of marking the creek edge, he proceeded to make a third cut. He backed the tractor, bush hog attached, toward the embankment. The 3-point hitch bush hog extended over the embankment. The tractor continued to roll backward, falling from the embankment into the creek bed. It turned over and pinned the victim between the ground and the tractor. Several hours later, his brother-in-law, worried because the victim had not returned, began a search. The victim was found alive under the tractor at about 5:30 pm. His brother-in-law called the rescue squad at 5:55 pm. They arrived at 6:06 pm and began extrication procedures. The victim was transferred from the field in the back of a pickup truck to the main road. He was then transported to the local hospital, and later transferred to a larger medical facility.

Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - The electrocution deaths of a 46-year-old male heating, ventilation, and air conditioning contractor and his 23-year-old employee were reported. The employer had been contracted to install a new combination heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit at a private residence. The employer had hired a part time worker who had worked for him in the past. The job consisted of installing duct work throughout the residence and setting the unit in place in a 38-inch-high crawl space under one end of the house. The employee was using an electric drill to drive screws through aluminum straps into floor joists. As he drilled one of the screws the sharp edge of the aluminum strap contacted the house wiring, damaging its insulation. The drill bit and the strap became energized, completing an electrical circuit through the first victim and pipes in the area to ground. The contractor was summoned by the homeowner, who had heard noise in the crawl space. When the contractor entered the crawl space and grabbed the first victim, he also became a part of the electrical circuit. Both men died of electrocution. Recommendations urge that employers conduct a job site survey before starting any work to identify hazards, that safety programs be developed in full, and that additional electrical safety training be provided to workers working with or around electrical current, including proper rescue procedures.

The employer was a highway construction company employing 120 workers, approximately 40 of whom were seasonal. The victim had 7 years of experience operating asphalt milling machines. The victim and two coworkers had just milled a section of interstate highway and were loading the asphalt milling machine for transport from the job site. As the victim trammed the machine up on to the transporter, wooden ramps being used to elevate the rear end of the machine over the transporter wheels dislodged, and the machine overturned off the transporter into a roadside culvert. The victim was trapped in the operator's station and crushed as the machine rolled on top of him. The victim was pronounced dead at the site. The cause of death was crushing injuries to the chest. Recommendations were made that equipment used for loading mobile machines be configured so that precise alignment of the machine is not critical to the safety of the operation, that equipment designers and manufacturers should consider providing control station layouts that use dissimilar shaped control levers for differing functions, and that machine operator visibility be considered when designing equipment.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 44-year-old male farmer (victim) died when the tractor he was driving rolled over on him. The tractor was not equipped with either a cab or a rollover protective structure. It had a narrow front wheel configuration. It did not have dual rear wheels. A front-end loader, equipped with a general purpose bucket, was mounted on the tractor. Soil erosion along a wooden cattle lot fence weakened the support posts. He used the tractor and loader to scoop a bucket of dirt from a remote area of a pasture and transported it to the fence to stabilize the fence posts. He drove the tractor toward the fence, traveling east, across inclined terrain which sloped to the operator?s right. This resulted in the right side of the tractor being lower than the left side. The tractor suddenly rolled 180 degrees to the side, coming to rest in an inverted position at the bottom of the incline. He sustained severe chest injuries when he was pinned underneath the tractor as a result of the rollover. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order 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. operators of tractors should only back up or drive forward down inclined grades and 3. while in motion, tractors with loaders should be operated with the loader in the lowest possible position.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - 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 42-year-old farm worker was killed when the tractor he was operating rolled over on him. The tractor was not equipped with Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) or a seat belt. The victim had been bush hogging alone in a field the morning of the incident. Having completed a lower pasture, he proceeded up a single lane loose gravel road carved in the side of the hill. The left side going up the hill was covered with trees and brush. The right side fell quickly off to form a steep embankment. As the victim maneuvered the tractor up the hill, the right rear wheel began sliding off the road. Braking did not stop the tractor. It rolled over on to the victim, crushed him and continued to roll three more times. The victim was discovered about six hours after the incident. The FACE investigator recommends in order to prevent future fatalities owners and operators should: 1. Equip tractors with roll over protective structures and seat belts. 2, Keep equipment in good working order. 3. Plan ahead, anticipate problems, thoroughly evaluate the scene and address hazards. 4. Additionally, county officials should activate a 911 emergency call system.
