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 13-year-old male (victim) died from injuries sustained when he was either struck by a "run away" chopper wagon or crushed between the wagon and a farm building. Several minutes before being injured, he hooked the empty chopper wagon to a forage chopper equipped with a quick latch/quick release hitch. The chopper was backed to the chopper wagon by the operator of a farm tractor. After he hooked the wagon to the chopper, the victim moved away from the machinery. The tractor operator drove forward, turning the tractor, chopper, and chopper wagon to the left. A rope attached to the tractor cab extended from the cab to a spring-loaded release lever on the chopper hitch. The rope tightened, as the tractor turned, because it was caught on a bolt head in the upper right corner of the tractor's hydraulic lift. When it tightened, the quick release hitch was activated, unhooking the chopper wagon. The chopper wagon was not equipped with any type of braking system and began rolling forward. The tractor operator realized the wagon became unhooked and stopped the forward motion of the tractor. The wagon rolled forward and came to a stop when it struck the chopper discharge chute. The operator pulled the tractor and chopper forward to rehook the chopper wagon. Since the wagon was on an incline and the operator was turning the tractor and chopper in a semi-circular path, the wagon began rolling and cleared the chopper discharge chute. The victim turned and saw the "run away" chopper wagon rolling toward a two-stall garage. He ran in front of the wagon and attempted to pick up the hitch to steer the wagon away from the garage. He may have slipped or stumbled when he attempted to pick up the wagon hitch. He sustained severe chest injuries when he was either struck by the left front corner of the "run away" chopper wagon and thrown against the wall of the two-stall garage, or he was crushed between the garage and the left front corner of the chopper wagon. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. farm operators should not attach quick release hitch ropes to a fixed point on tractors or tractor cabs AB - 2. farm equipment manufacturers should design and develop passive brake systems for all pull-type equipment AB - and 3. farm workers and farm family members should be trained to stay clear of and move away from all "run away" tractors, vehicles, and machinery.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 29-year-old male rigger (victim) died after falling between 20-40 feet during wind turbine tower construction. He was wearing, but not using, a safety belt and lanyard at the time of the incident. The tubular, slightly tapered, turbine tower consisted of two vertical sections which were being bolted together. The bottom tower section had been set and the victim and two coworkers were attaching the top section. They were working from a pre-installed factory-manufactured work platform inside the bottom section, at approximately 50 feet. Access to the platform was by way of a pre-installed metal ladder, attached to the wall with heavy steel supports. Tower section interiors were cleared of snow and ice prior to setting AB - except for ice on the bolt flange which was removed, the tower's top section appeared clear. After attaching four bolts, the workers noticed additional ice and snow inside the top tower section. They decided there was insufficient accumulation to warrant its removal for further cleaning, and one coworker climbed up the ladder and began to dislodge it. A large chunk of ice fell to the platform and struck the other coworker's head. As the victim and injured coworker began descending the ladder to exit the tower, more ice fell from the sides of the top section, through the platform's ladder opening, and onto the men on the ladder. The victim was knocked from the ladder by the falling ice. As he fell, his head struck a steel ladder support and he sustained instant, fatal, head injuries. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure workers use fall protection, even in emergency situations, when ascending/descending fixed ladders AB - 2. cap wind turbine tower sections exposed to inclement weather to avoid ice build- up inside AB - and 3. provide employees with adequate training to ensure that they can recognize potential hazardous exposures.

The victim had been operating the skid loader for approximately 15 minutes transporting logs from a stockpile area to the mill bin for cutting. He was working alone and the machine was not equipped with the wire mesh usually attached to the cab to protect operators from moving parts of the equipment. The victim, apparently stuck his head outside the cab area as the loader arms were moving, and his head was pinched between the moving arms and the side of the cab. He was discovered by his employer, who sent a co-worker into town to get help. The co-worker tried various places in the town before locating the proper authority to dispatch the ambulance. By the time first responders arrived, the victim had no pulse, and he was declared dead at the scene. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1. Mill workers should be trained in the handling of all hazardous machines and equipment available to them. 2. Emergency procedures should be established against the event of an injury producing circumstance. 3. Access to emergency services should be provided on site. 4. Skid loaders should be fully enclosed with open mesh or plexiglas materials to give maximum protection to the operator. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

The victim had accessed the roof to survey the job and to develop a work-plan. The victim wore no personal protective equipment as he walked upon the steeply pitched roof. The victim asked the helper who remained on the ground to obtain equipment from the truck. Moments later when the helper and another co-worker looked toward the house the victim was not in sight. The two employees began to search for the victim and found him on the ground behind the building. The victim had fallen from the roof, struck his head on a slate walkway, and hemorrhaged copiously from the nose and mouth. The emergency medical service (EMS) was notified and responded within ten minutes. Upon arrival the EMS determined that resuscitation efforts were not possible because of the severity of injury. The Maryland FACE investigator suggests that, to prevent similar occurrences employers should: 1. develop, implement, and enforce a safety and health program to instruct employees in hazard recognition and to provide clear guidance on safe work procedures and safe work practices AB - 2. ensure that work performed at elevations above six feet is always reviewed prior to initiation to formulate a work plan that addresses the unique safety concerns of the job and the personal protective equipment required to safely complete the job AB - 3. ensure that all jobs performed at elevations are assessed to determine the safest feasible means to bring workers to the elevation required for task completion.

He had been removing high moisture shelled corn from the silo using an auger unloader when the grain apparently stopped flowing. The victim removed an access door cover and entered the silo. A three-year old family member had accompanied the victim to the feedroom and noted after an unknown length of time that the victim was not moving inside the silo. The family member summoned the farmer's wife for assistance. She saw him lying near the access opening, reached in, and pulled the victim from the silo. A farm visitor called for an ambulance. Police, EMS and the coroner arrived, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner examined the body at the funeral home and obtained blood samples. No autopsy was performed. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, farmers should: 1.

Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center AB - A 52-year-old part-time farmer was killed when a pick-up truck overturned and crushed him. The victim, along with a neighbor (the witness), were loading the neighbor's tractor on a flatbed trailer to transport it to the victim's tobacco field for plowing. The trailer, attached to the pick-up truck, was parked on a gradual downward slope in preparation for tractor loading. The victim was standing on the front of the trailer while the tractor was being driven on to the trailer by the witness. Before the tractor was completely on the trailer, the truck and trailer began to roll down the slope. When the victim saw what was happening, he jumped from the trailer and ran toward the driver side door in an attempt to stop the truck. He opened the door of the moving truck and tried to reach the break. The right front wheel of the truck rolled up a hill bordering the road causing the truck to overturn and crushing the victim. The victim died from traumatic suffocation. The Kentucky FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, farmers and equipment operators should: 1. Use tail end support jacks to stabilize trailers during loading and unloading operations AB - 2. Use chocks to prevent vehicle movement AB - 3. Trailers should be equipped with adjustable height support posts AB - 4. Evaluate the terrain prior to beginning a procedure.

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 60-year-old farmer died when the tractor he was operating rolled over on top of him. The victim was attempting to hook up a camper to a tractor in order to pull it to a paved roadway. Having recently sold the camper, the farmer, assisted by the buyer, was preparing to remove it from the farmer's property. The victim, driving a tractor which was equipped with a front-end loader, pulled forward past the tongue of the camper in order to line up the tractor draw bar with the camper tongue. The ground sloped more than one-half inch per foot downward toward the front of the camper. As he pulled forward and downhill, the right front wheel slid over an embankment causing the tractor to roll over. Evidence at the scene, such as indentations in the ground and pushed over brush and cedar trees, suggest that the tractor slid, then rolled just once before coming to rest on the victim. The right rear fender crushed the victim's skull. The investigator concluded that to prevent similar occurrences, tractor owners and operators should: 1. contact county extension agent or local equipment dealers to determine if retrofit rollover protection and seat belts are available for their equipment. 2. evaluate the slope of the land and ground conditions before beginning a procedure. 3. remove extra weight from the front end to assure balance in the equipment's center of gravity and improve visibility. 4. keep equipment in good working order.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 48-year-old male crane operator (victim) died after being struck and crushed by a portion of a brick building wall which collapsed. He and five coworkers were removing the roof of a two-story commercial building that was being renovated at the time of the incident. It had been vacant since being extensively damaged by fire two years earlier. A 75-ton crane parked near the building was used to lift sections of the roof from the building and lower them to the ground. The construction workers used chain saws to cut the wooden roof trusses and the roof into sections approximately 25 feet square. Before a section was completely cut free, holes were cut in each corner and chains were attached to the wooden roof trusses. Cables were attached from the crane to the chains attached to each corner of the section being removed. The crane securely held the roof section in place as the final cuts were made to completely detach it from the building. The construction crew was removing the second to the last roof section when the incident occurred. The victim was standing near a second story window using hand signals to communicate with the crane operator. As the section was lifted free of the building, a 4-foot high brick parapet wall above him suddenly collapsed inward and fell on him. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to reduce the likelihood of similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. ensure crane operators use two-way radio instead of line of sight hand signal communication with coworkers AB - and 2. ensure all free standing walls more than one story in height are supported with lateral bracing.

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 29 year-old male farm worker (the victim) died after falling from a silo ladder. The ladder is mounted on the exterior wall of the concrete silo and is enclosed by a metal chute, which starts approximately 6 feet from ground level. A silo room encloses the bottom end of the chute and connects the silo to the barn. The ladder rungs are made of smooth metal, and are mounted on the hatch doors that provide access to the interior of the silo. On the day of the incident, the silo wall surface inside the chute was covered with a thick layer of shelled corn pieces and the rungs were covered with moist cracked corn. The victim was wearing smooth-soled boots. He climbed approximately 33 feet on the ladder and opened a hatch door to shovel out cracked corn for animal feed. The farm owner (the farmer) found the victim slumped at the base of the chute with his head tucked to his chest. The victim was non-responsive, so the farmer pulled him out from under the ladder and called to two workers in the farm yard. The farmer started CPR while another farm worker called 911. Police and EMS arrived and continued resuscitation procedures. The coroner arrived, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the funeral home. The coroner examined the body at the funeral home and drew blood samples for analysis of alcohol and drugs. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, farmers should: 1. Ensure that farm workers wear slip-resistant footwear when working on slippery surfaces. 2. Establish and implement a routine maintenance program to keep silo chutes and ladders clean and dry. 3. Install and maintain silo ladder equipment that conforms to current OSHA regulations for fixed ladders. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

Department of Public Health AB - On December 13, 1993, a 37 year old, male plant operator was fatally injured at a Massachusetts oil supply terminal when he fell nine feet from the top of a home heating fuel truck. The victim and the fuel truck driver had climbed on top of the truck to purge air from a load arm assembly line prior to filling the truck with fuel. The plant operator inserted the loading tube in the opening at the top of the truck and pushed it in until it reached the bottom of the tank. When he pressed the loading tube handle to activate the fuel line, a jet of compressed air blew the pipe out of the truck and knocked the victim onto the asphalt ground below. Seconds later, the terminal supervisor found the victim unconscious and bleeding profusely from the head and face. The supervisor immediately summoned emergency medical assistance and the victim was transported to a hospital, where he died five days later from craniocerebral injuries due to blunt trauma. The MA FACE Program concluded that to prevent similar occurrences in the future, employers should: 1. Explore the feasibility of devising a system to stabilize the load arm tube when purging air from supply lines AB - 2. Install mechanical devices (safeguards) in the load arm assemblies to allow for a slower or more diffuse release of built up pressure AB - 3.

A2 - Colorado Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (Colorado FACE) A2 - Colorado. Department of Public Health and Environment A2 - Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risk (SENSOR) AB - In January 1994, a welder was killed when the 12,600 gallon capacity sheet metal crude oil tank on which he was working collapsed, the top of which crushed his spinal cord. The welder was a contractor of an oil and gas field equipment company, working alone in a storage area salvaging parts of one tank to use on another. He was using an oxyacetylene torch to cut a section of the top of the 12-foot by 15-foot tank. The tank was laying on its side AB - two railroad ties had been placed under the body of the tank (parallel to the tank, perpendicular to the top) to allow the welder access to the entire rim of the flat top portion of the tank. The welder had freed the side portions of the top from the body of the tank, and was cutting the metal lowest to the ground when the injury occurred. He was laying with his head under the elevated tank body, his neck even with the top of the tank. While he was in this position, the tank collapsed around the railroad ties AB - the top separated from the body of the tank and lowered onto the welder's neck, crushing his spinal cord. The body was discovered approximately four hours after the estimated time of death. The Colorado Department of Health (CDH) investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that all employees are provided with the proper equipment to accomplish the assigned task. 2. Develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive written safety program. 3. Conduct a job-site survey on a regular basis to identify potential hazards, implement appropriate control measures, and provide subsequent training to employees that specifically addresses all identified hazards.

Department of Public Health and Environment AB - On January 28, 1994 an employee of an outdoor advertising firm in Colorado was fatally injured when he fell from the billboard on which he was working. In this incident, a crew of three were installing new panels on a billboard. Employee #1 (the deceased) was standing on a walkway 47 feet above ground level. As his co-workers lifted each panel from the billboard framework, Employee #1 would push out on the top of the panel to disengage the retaining clips. Just prior to the fatal fall, coworkers observed Employee #1 at his location on the walkway with his safety lanyard attached to the wire rope life line. It is unknown why he disconnected his safety lanyard. As the co-workers were moving a panel, they heard Employee #1 strike a support bar and observed him falling to the ground. The Colorado Department of Health (CDH) investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Implement 29 CFR 1910.23 (c)(1) that requires the use of guard rails on the use of all open-sided floors or platforms four feet or more above adjacent floor or ground level. 2. Develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive written safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in fall hazard recognition and the use of fall protection devices. 3.

A2 - Colorado Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (Colorado FACE) A2 - Colorado. Department of Public Health and Environment AB - On January 25, 1994 a 38-year old employee of a electrical contractor was electrocuted when an energized jumper wire contacted a guy wire onto which the deceased was holding. The deceased was a foreman of the line crew that was replacing electrical poles and rerouting electrical lines for a local rural electric association. When the incident occurred, the crew was disconnecting power lines from an old pole to allow pole replacement. The deceased had used a climbing belt and boot hooks to climb the pole AB - he had assisted a co-worker who was positioned in a truck-mounted insulated bucket on the opposite side of the pole. The deceased had accomplished the task for which he had ascended the pole, and was resting prior to his descent. The pole was supported in place by two guy wires, one attached approximately four inches above the other, both wrapped around the pole on metal bands and then secured in place with metal brackets. The workers were disconnecting the remaining two segments of a single-phase 7200-volt line that joined at the pole and were connected with a "jumper wire" (an uninsulated energized wire that allows the electricity to bypass the gap in the two line segments where they attach to the pole). A "hot hoist" (a hand-operated winch and nylon strap with end clamps that are attached to each line approximately two feet away from the pole) had been installed to pull the lines toward the pole, thus releasing tension on the sections of line at the point of connection to the pole. This allows the crew to disconnect the ends of the line from the pole. When the injury occurred, one end of the line had been disconnected. This created slack in the jumper wire. From contact marks on the jumper wire and the guy wire hooks it appeared that the jumper wire contacted the guy wire bracket. The deceased was holding onto the two guy wires and provided the path for the flow of electricity between guy wires and the ground. The Colorado Department of Health (CDH) investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that high voltage electrical conductors are properly guarded when being handled. 2. Ensure that employees understand that only personnel required to perform a specific task are authorized to be in that work area.

The 41-year-old man had been employed as a sanitation worker by the city for 23 years. The victim was assigned to accompany a coworker who was driving on curbside pickups using a side loading trash collection vehicle. Normally this vehicle was operated by one worker who drives and also loads each pickup. As the vehicle was late starting out, both men were assigned to make up lost time. As the vehicle moved from one stop to the next, the driver looked in the rear-view mirrors to ascertain that the victim was securely on the riding step. A homeowner observed that the victim had slipped from the step and fell to the pavement. He landed with his head in front of the right real wheel. The homeowner yelled a warning to the driver who applied the brakes, but the vehicle struck and ran over the victim's head before the driver could stop. It was recommended that trash collectors be prohibited from riding on the loading steps of trash collection vehicles, that employers consider equipping vehicles with safety devices designed to warn the driver when riders have left the steps of the vehicles, and that vehicles be equipped with extended fenders or additional body panels to reduce the likelihood of workers landing in the path of the wheels in the event of a fall.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - New Jersey Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Project (NJ FACE) A2 - New Jersey. Department of Health and Senior Services. Occupational Health Service AB - On December 1, 1993, the 46-year-old owner of a clothing manufacturing company was killed after falling 15 feet down a freight elevator shaft. The incident occurred in a large three-story warehouse where the victim was renting space for his clothing manufacturing business. At about 5 p.m., the owner was trying to move a customer order from his second floor workshop to the loading dock on the first floor. Because the call buttons on the freight elevator were not functioning, the victim went to the first floor to raise the elevator to the second floor. Not realizing that the elevator was on the second floor, the victim opened the elevator door in the dark vestibule and stepped into the empty elevator shaft, falling 15 feet into the warehouse basement. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Building owners and employers should ensure that elevators are maintained in proper working order. 2. Building owners and employers should ensure that entrances, exits, and work areas are properly lit.
