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 - 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 38-year-old part-time farmer (landowner) was killed after the tractor he was operating turned over on him. The victim was mowing his property using a tractor and rotary mower attachment. The tricycle-type tractor was not equipped with a roll over protective structure (ROPS) or a seat belt. After completing an upper field, he drove the tractor down a hill toward the public roadway. The brakes apparently failed, and he lost control of the tractor. The tractor slid off the gravel road, turned over and came to rest on top of the victim. There were no witnesses to the event. In order to prevent similar occurrences, the FACE investigator concluded: 1. Tractor owners and operators should equip tractors with roll-over protection and seat belts. 2. Equipment should be kept in good working order. 3. Part-time equipment operators should be trained in safe operation procedures.

At 4:30 pm, the victim was bush-hogging a pasture on his farm, driving a tractor pulling a five-foot-wide, three-point hitch rotary bush-hog. The tractor was not equipped with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or a seat belt. Mowing the outer perimeter of the pasture, the victim was on the first pass outlining the field. An eroded ravine forced the victim to go up the hill along the edge of the rose-briar-filled 18-foot-wide ditch. The left front and rear tractor wheels began sliding into the ravine, causing the victim to lose control. As the tractor continued over the edge, it rolled over into the ditch and onto the victim. The victim was pinned between the tire, fender and tractor seat. He was discovered at 7:15 pm by his brother-in-law and pronounced dead at 8:55 pm by the deputy coroner. In order to prevent similar occurrences in the future, the FACE investigator concluded that: 1. Tractors should be retrofitted with Roll Over Protective Structures and seat belts. 2. Safety professionals should offer training for part-time farmers. 3. Additionally, county officials should initiate a 911 emergency calling service.

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 6, 1994, a 19 year old, male, production assistant was fatally crushed in a screen printing press at a Massachusetts printing company. The victim was a temporary worker, and had worked for 2 weeks at the shop. The victim and the press operator had finished a printing job and were preparing to clean the press. The press operator depressed the foot treadle to raise the frame of the press, and as it lifted, the victim reached under the reciprocating arm from the right side of the press. Although the press had an infrared emergency stop system, the frame reversed itself and came slamming down at a speed faster than normal. It caught the victim across the chest, pinning him to the bed. Hearing the crash and the victim's groan, coworkers immediately summoned local firefighters. The victim was rushed to a local hospital and then airlifted to a major metropolitan hospital AB - however, he died en route. To prevent future similar occurrences, the FACE Project recommends that employers: 1. Ensure that lockout and tagout procedures are strictly followed when machines are serviced or cleaned. 2. Ensure that temporary employees are fully informed of potential jobsite safety hazards. 3. Specify in their contracts with temporary agencies who is responsible for providing both general and job specific health and safety training to temporary workers. In addition, machine manufacturers should: 4. Ensure that new semi-automatic and fully-automatic machinery undergoes extensive safety review prior to placing it in production.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Schneiderman, Aaron I. AU - Ticer, Letha A2 - Maryland Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (Maryland FACE) A2 - Maryland. Division of Labor and Industry AB - The 45-year-old owner of a drywall installation company fell 5' 4" from a portable Baker scaffold and fatally injured himself. The victim was working on a commercial remodelling job installing metal studs to hang drywall. The Baker scaffold had no guardrails installed and no personal protective equipment (PPE) was being utilized. The victim was working and simultaneously conversing with the general contractor's site superintendent when he abruptly stopped speaking and fell forward off of the scaffold striking the concrete floor face first. The site superintendent called 911 immediately on a portable telephone, while another employee turned the victim onto his back. The site superintendent then ran downstairs to seek assistance from medical personnel in a nearby office. The first responders rendered aid until the emergency medical service personnel arrived several minutes later. The victim was taken by helicopter to the Shock Trauma Center where he was pronounced dead 84 minutes later. The Maryland FACE investigator concluded that to prevent similar incidents in the future employers should: 1. develop, implement, and enforce a safety and health program that addresses safe work procedures and hazard recognition. 2. ensure that the structural components and safety features of scaffolds are in good working order and used in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer. 3. be sure that health problems of employees which may compromise safe work practices are treated promptly to minimize the risk of injury.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 25-year-old male died after he entered an underground manure waste pit and collapsed after being exposed to hazardous gases. The pit had a square access opening fitted with a removable stainless steel cover. The pit was not equipped with any type of ventilation system or gas monitoring equipment. On the morning of the incident, the owner and an employee (victim) of a waste hauling service arrived at a farm to empty a nearly full, underground manure waste pit. The workers finished pumping the third and final load from the pit. There was only three or four inches of liquid remaining in the bottom of the pit. The victim, using metal braces on the pump, climbed down into the pit. He apparently was either going to install a cover on an open agitation port or move a cover from a closed port to an open port. Within minutes after entering the pit, the victim felt the effects of hazardous gases in the pit and attempted to climb out. As he neared the top of the pit, he collapsed and fell back into the pit. The owner of the waste hauling company entered the pit to attempt to rescue the victim. Within a few minutes, he also was overcome by gases in the pit and collapsed, face down, on top of the victim. The farm owner's son placed a 911 call and informed his father what had happened. The farm owner ran across a road and asked a neighbor for assistance. They found a rope and a steel rod which they bent into a hook. Using the hook tied to the rope, they were able to hook the owner's sweatshirt and lift him from the pit. They were unable to hook the victim's clothing to remove him. Rescue personnel arrived approximately 25 to 30 minutes after the victim collapsed. Equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus, they entered the pit and removed the victim. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he died approximately 24 hours after the incident. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus should always be used by workers when entering manure waste pits AB - 2. manure waste pits should be identified as confined spaces and posted with hazard warning signs at all entrances AB - 3. workers should never enter manure waste pits unless absolutely necessary and only when following established safe entry procedures AB - 4. manure waste pits should be equipped with a powered ventilation system AB - 5. coworkers should never enter a confined space to attempt a rescue operation without proper consideration for their own safety AB - and 6. all manure waste pit access openings should be fitted with concrete covers.

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 38-year-old white, non-Hispanic crew leadman (decedent #1) and a 33-year-old white, non-Hispanic general foreman (decedent #2) died from burns sustained while working in a hydraulic concrete channel ("mixed-liquors channel") at a county sanitation district plant. Both decedents were working for a subcontractor who had been hired by the sanitation district. They were installing a large butterfly valve (gate valve) in a hydraulic channel where oxygen was pumped into sludge. This channel is a confined space as defined in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations (CCRs). The oxygen content of the air in the channel was elevated because of an operation which took place just prior to the incident. Decedent #1 was using a pneumatic hammer to chip away the sidewall of the channel. The pneumatic hammer struck something in the concrete causing a spark. The decedents' oxygen-enriched clothes caught fire and a second worker (decedent #2) jumped into the channel to help. Decedent #2's clothing also caught on fire and both workers were observed running through the channel on fire. A third co-worker leaned over to look in the channel at his co-workers and his shirt caught on fire. Co-workers at the scene stated that when they saw the victims on fire, they yelled at them to roll on the ground. The victims were transported by ambulance to a regional burn center where decedent #1 died two days after the incident, and decedent #2 died three days afterwards. The third victim who was initially hospitalized for his burns was released several days later. The CA/FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar future occurrences, host employers and employers should: 1. inform contractors of the existence of any confined spaces on the worksite and the hazards presented by the confined space and the host employer's experience with the confined space AB - 2. inform the contractor of precautions or procedures that the host employer has implemented for the protection of employees in or near permit spaces where contractor's employees will be working AB - 3. inform employees of the existence and location of confined space hazards by posting signs or by other means AB - 4. develop a comprehensive rescue plan to be used in the event of a confined space emergency AB - and 5. provide specific fire safety training for employees so that in the event of a fire, employees know how to extinguish flames from their clothing.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Nebraska Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (Nebraska FACE) A2 - Nebraska. Department of Labor AB - A 33 year-old male construction worker died after falling 25 feet from steel superstructure. The victim was constructing forms for pouring concrete flooring at the time of the accident. The victim was carrying bolts to attach to eyelets welded on the steel I beams he was walking on. He was "straddle walking" on the inner lips (approximately 3") of two I beams approximately 3 feet apart when he apparently slipped and fell to the concrete floor below. The victim was using no fall protection at the time of the accident. The Nebraska Department of Labor evaluator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Provide appropriate fall protection equipment to all workers who may be exposed to a fall hazard and enforce its use. 2. Consult with safety specialists when unsure how to provide effective intervention measures. 3. Thoroughly address worker safety in the planning phase of construction projects. 4. Develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in all hazard recognition and the use of fall protection devices.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 10-year-old male (victim) died from injuries sustained when the tractor he was driving overturned. The victim was driving the tractor on a public highway, pulling a baler and a hayrack loaded with bales of hay. He was driving east on the public highway and attempted to make a right turn onto a gravel road. When the rear wheels of the tractor left the asphalt surface and contacted the gravel road, the tractor began to slide. The momentum of the baler, hayrack, and the load of hay apparently caused the tractor to slide to the edge of the road and overturn. The tractor rolled 180 degrees to the side and came to rest in an inverted position at the edge of the road. The victim 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 maintain safe operating speeds at all times AB - and 3. operators of tractors should tow only one machine or equipment while driving on roadways.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 32-year-old male farmer (victim) died from asphyxiation after entering an underground manure waste pit. The victim and his wife worked for several days pumping manure from the pit. The nearly empty pit contained approximately 2 feet of liquid manure at the time of the incident. Manure was drawn or vacuumed from the pit into a manure spreader tank using a power take-off driven air pump. The pump was mounted on the spreader in front of the manure tank. A hose from the spreader tank was inserted into the pit through a round access opening located near the south end of the pit. The spreader air pump filled the spreader tank by creating a vacuum within the tank. After filling the spreader tank, the victim closed a tank valve and disconnected the hose from the bottom of the tank. He left the end of the hose which had been connected to the tank, on the ground next to the pit opening. When he returned from spreading a load of manure on a farm field, he parked the tractor and spreader near the opening to the pit. Apparently, while he attempted to reconnect the hose to the tank, the hose slipped from his hands and fell into the pit. He inserted a ladder into the pit and climbed down to retrieve the hose. While standing on the ladder, he was unable to grasp the hose. After a few minutes, he felt the effects of the hazardous gases he was exposed to and exited the pit. Approximately ten minutes later, he re-entered the pit and attempted to retrieve the hose. Again, he was unable to reach the hose while standing on the ladder. When he again felt the effects of the hazardous gases, he climbed to the top of the pit to breath fresh air. He remained on the ladder with only his head and shoulders above ground level for several minutes. He descended the ladder a third time to attempt to retrieve the hose. He again failed to reach the hose and began to climb the ladder. As he neared the top of the pit, he lost consciousness and fell into the pit. His wife immediately called emergency personnel. Rescue personnel equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus entered the pit and removed the victim. He died a short time later at a local hospital. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus should always be used by workers when entering manure waste pits AB - 2. manure waste pits should be identified as confined spaces and posted with hazard warning signs at all entrances AB - 3. workers should never enter manure waste pits unless absolutely necessary and only when following established confined space entry procedures AB - 4. manure waste pits should be equipped with a powered ventilation system AB - and 5. farm workers and family members should never enter a confined space to attempt a rescue operation without proper consideration for their own safety.

The tractor was not equipped with either a rollover protective structure or a general purpose cab. It had a wide front wheel configuration. It was not equipped with dual rear wheels. A front-end loader equipped with a general purpose bucket was mounted on the tractor. A sickle mower with a cutting bar 7 feet long was mounted to the quick-attach drawbar at the rear of the tractor. The victim was cutting hay in a township road ditch when the incident occurred. He was making the first cut through the ditch driving south across inclined terrain which sloped to his right. The mower cutting bar extended to the right side of the tractor and was on the downhill side of the tractor as he drove through the ditch. The tractor suddenly rolled 180 degrees to the right and came to rest in an inverted position at the bottom of the ditch. After the tractor overturned and pinned the victim underneath it, it caught fire and burned. 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. all mounted equipment not required for the task being performed should be removed from tractors AB - and 3. side-mounted equipment should be kept on the uphill side of tractors when crossing sloping terrain.

Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - An assistant grain elevator supervisor died after being engulfed in shelled corn inside a grain elevator. The employer was a grain handling facility that had been in operation for 40 years and employed eight full time workers. The 61-year-old victim was employed at a grain handling facility that had 17 grain elevators of various sizes. The elevator involved in the incident was 60 feet high, 18 feet in diameter, and had a capacity of 10,000 bushels. The floor was sloped at a 60-degree angle to allow corn to be fed by gravity toward the auger at the base. On the day of the accident the elevator was almost empty when the victim and a coworker entered the elevator while the auger was still running to knock corn from the sides and to shovel corn remaining on the floor toward the auger. Neither worker was wearing a harness or lifeline. As the victim walked around inside the tank holding onto a rope, the sliding corn knocked him off his feet and he was buried in the corn flowing to the auger. He was removed from the elevator about 45 minutes after the incident and pronounced dead on arrival at the local hospital. The cause of death was asphyxiation. It was recommended that all employers develop and implement a comprehensive safety program, that employers should equip confined spaces containing unstable material with lifelines and harnesses at their entrance point and that workers be trained in their usage, and that employers not allow workers to stand on or work from loose materials.

The employer had been subcontracted to do outside trim work at a residence under construction. The victim had about 4 years of experience as a carpenter but had worked for the contractor for only 1 day. On the day of the accident the victim was working on a scaffold 17 feet high with a platform consisting of a board which extended about 29 feet and was about 18 inches from the wall of the house. Earlier that morning he had complained of chest pains but had refused to go to the hospital for an examination. He was observed by a coworker bending over just prior to the fall. He then either lost his balance or became ill and fell to the scaffold. He sat up, but seconds later fell to the ground, striking his head. He was unconscious and not breathing and was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death was severe head injury and fractured cervical spine. Recommendations included the following: the employer should provide adequate guarding on scaffolding AB - a written safety program be developed and enforced AB - subcontractors should be required to implement a site-specific safety and health program prior to the start of work AB - routinely conduct scheduled and unscheduled workplace inspections AB - and encourage workers to actively participate in workplace safety.

After loading five round bales of hay onto a flatbed wagon the victim drove his tractor down a public roadway to transfer the hay to another pasture for winter storage. Neither the wagon nor the tractor had a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or a seat belt. After driving down a highway, about one quarter of a mile, a two-ton log truck struck the back of his flatbed wagon. The tractor rolled over and the victim suffered massive skull injuries when he was thrown from the tractor. A witness who was traveling by car in the opposite direction called 911 to summon help. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the coroner. In order to prevent future fatalities of this type, the FACE investigator recommends: 1. Tractors should be retrofitted with ROPS and seat belts. 2. All equipment should be clearly marked with Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblems if used on public roadways. 3. Transporters of harvest products on public roadways should be followed by trailing units to warn other drivers.

Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 67-year-old male carpenter (the victim) died of injuries received after falling from a ladder or improvised scaffolding. The victim was self-employed, and had been contracted to build and finish off partition walls in the storage area of an office building. On the day of the incident, he had been using improvised scaffolding as a work surface while he placed and fastened sections of drywall. There were no witnesses to the incident, but it appears he fell from a ladder or scaffolding and landed on the concrete floor of the storeroom. An employee of one of the businesses in the building found the victim when he entered the storage room, and called for help. EMS responded and the victim was moved to a hospital where he was pronounced dead of massive head trauma. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Provide and use equipment that is designed to safely meet the requirements of the job tasks. 2. Develop and implement a safety program that incorporates specific procedures that emphasize the importance of recognizing and avoiding hazards in the workplace.

Bureau of Occupational Health AB - A 21-year-old male electrician apprentice (the victim) died of injuries received after falling 55 feet from a roof. The victim was working with a journeyman electrician to install conduit and wiring for a surveillance camera on the flat roof of a hospital. An eighteen-inch high ledge surrounds the roof edge, and a wire rope guard railing was located 20 feet from each roof edge. The victim was standing outside the guard railing and was using a reel pulling tape to pull de-energized electrical wire through a conduit. There were no witnesses to the incident, and it appears he inadvertently stepped to the edge of the roof and fell 55 feet to the ground. The electrician was replacing the cover on a pull box about 40 feet away from where the victim had been standing and looked for him in that location. He noticed that the electrical wires were over the edge of the building, went to the edge to look over, and saw the victim lying near the base of the building. The victim was moved to the hospital emergency room, where he was pronounced dead of massive head trauma. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Evaluate their current safety program and incorporate specific training procedures emphasizing 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. 2. Ensure that fall protection equipment is provided and used by workers where the potential for a fall from an elevation exists. 3.
