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.

The victim was repairing an electrical defect to the propulsion system of the hauler, and had backed his pickup up a muddy ramp with an 8.3% grade to the rear underside of the hauler to use as a platform to enter the rear axle box housing opening. This opening is 2 feet square and sits 51" from ground level. The operator of the hauler had applied both the dump and park brake systems, and had installed chocks behind two of the rear wheels. The hauler's brake system failed while the victim was sitting in the cab of his pickup, and the hauler rolled down the incline, overrunning and crushing the pickup and continuing on down the incline and striking the face of a highwall some 160' past the original position of the hauler. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1. Insure that employees take extra precautions when weather affects otherwise safe activities. 2. Instruct employees in the hazards of using vehicles as a platform for performing activities. 3.

A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 26-year-old male hog farmer (victim) died from injuries he suffered when caught between the frame of a small skid steer loader and the hydraulic cylinder which raised and lowered its bucket. The loader's protective cage had been removed so that it could be used in hog buildings on the property having low ceilings. The victim was using the loader to pile manure in a corner of a large hog containment building AB - he was alone at the time of the incident. According to family members having knowledge of the task and the victim's work practices, the loader probably stalled facing the manure pile with its bucket in an elevated position. Because of his location and inability to move the loader back, the victim attempted to exit the loader from its left (driver's) side and, as he was getting out, inadvertently hit the left hand control which operated the loader's hydraulic cylinders. He was caught between the loader's left cylinder and body frame as the bucket lowered. He was discovered dead on the scene by other family members about two hours after having last been seen. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to minimize the occurrence of similar incidents, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. do not alter or remove protective structures and other safety devices from machinery AB - 2. protect operators of machinery from the hazards of scissor points on machinery through the use of appropriate guards AB - and 3. follow manufacturer's recommended procedures for boarding and exiting machines.

TY - Field Study A2 - Wyoming Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Project (Wyoming FACE) A2 - Wyoming Occupational Fatality Analysis Program AB - A 48 year old law enforcement officer died from injuries suffered when his police car was struck in the side by another law enforcement vehicle while both were responding to a call regarding an escaped prisoner. The victim was travelling east on a county road, followed by a fellow officer, toward a destination where an escaped prisoner was reported to have been seen. As he approached the intersection of another county road an officer from another law enforcement agency, responding to the same call, was approaching on the second county road. Visibility was poor at that intersection due to darkness, weather conditions, a hill crest on the road the victim was driving, and a grove of trees at the intersection. A stop sign faced the second county road, giving the victim the right of way in routine traffic situations. The victim had been talking with his fellow officer by police radio and his location and direction were available to anyone who heard that communication. As the officer entered the intersection, he was struck by the law enforcement vehicle that was entering the intersection from the side road. The impact forced the victim's vehicle into a gas main and power pole to his right, just beyond the intersection. Law Enforcement personnel from the vehicle that struck the officer were first responders, pulling the victim from his vehicle and beginning CPR across the street from the vehicle. They also radioed in to have the gas shut off from the main that had been broken on impact, and that was emitting gas into the area creating the potential hazard of fire and explosion. The victim was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1.

On the day of the accident the victim and a coworker were restocking shelves on the 10:30pm to 6am shift. A coworker raised the victim on a loaded pallet to the top shelf using a cherry picker, then left the cherry picker and began loading more pallets at floor level. The victim was wearing a safety belt which was to be attached to a 5-foot nylon lanyard that was permanently affixed to the cherry picker's falling object protective structure above him. The restacking was accomplished without incident. When the second batch of merchandise was stocked, the coworker raised the victim on an empty pallet to pull an order. The victim apparently lost his balance as he was loading the pallet and fell backward, 12 feet to the floor. The coworker heard a sound and found the victim lying on the floor. The victim died 5 days later of head trauma. He was wearing the safety belt but was not attached to the lanyard at the time of his fall. Recommendations included ensuring that workers continually adhere to safe work procedures, encouraging workers to participate in workplace safety, and conducting worksite safety inspections.

TY - Field Study A2 - Wyoming Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Project (Wyoming FACE) A2 - Wyoming Occupational Fatality Analysis Program AB - A 53 year old truck driver died from injuries suffered when he was buried under debris from the roof cave-in of an empty oil tank. The victim had been sleeping inside a camper trailer while his co-workers were cleaning oil residue from tanks being dismantled for transportation to a location out of state. Earlier, the victim and a co-worker had removed some bolts from the roof of an empty tank. When the victim awoke, he apparently went to the tank from which the roof bolts had been removed. It is uncertain whether he went inside the tank or climbed to the roof of the tank. He was found buried among the debris inside the tank that occurred when the unbolted roof caved in. The co-workers returned and searched for the victim, then noticed that the roof was missing from the tank they had prepared. Looking inside, they found the victim under the debris. They attempted to dislodge the victim with a winch truck which was at the location. A worker from another oil field came by and called 911. The victim was unconscious at the time he was found, and had no pulse according to rescuers. He was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of injuries received from the roof cave in. Post-mortem blood testing indicated a BAC level of 0.24. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1.

TY - Field Study A2 - Wyoming Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Project (Wyoming FACE) A2 - Wyoming Occupational Fatality Analysis Program AB - A 29 year old female flag person died from injuries suffered when she was run over by the truck she had been using to service portable toilet facilities. The victim served generally as an oil field roustabout which included maintenance of toilet facilities in the area. While servicing these facilities, she drove a truck from facility to facility and left the truck parked while servicing the units. She reported her location by radio during mid-afternoon and was not heard from after that. During the late afternoon, an oil field employee noticed her truck which was apparently unattended and went to investigate. He found the driver's side door open, the motor running, and the radio playing. Tracing the truck tracks back up the hill, he discovered the deceased some two hours after her last radio contact. On scene evidence suggests that the victim had left the truck parked with the motor running while she did her work, and that it rolled down the hill as she was either crossing in front of it or trying to reach the driver's door to stop the vehicle. She was caught under the wheels of the vehicle and apparently died within minutes of being run over. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1. Company vehicles that are available for employee use should be periodically inspected and maintained for safety. 2. When employees who routinely report locations fail to report as expected, dispatchers should be alerted to contact them to ascertain that they are safe. 3. Vehicles should not be left standing with their motors running while other work is being done. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

Occupational Health Surveillance Program AB - On May 16, 1993, a 22 year old male Rhode Island window washer fell approximately 70 feet to his death from a Massachusetts rooftop. Cleaning glass sunroom ceiling panels from the flat rooftop of a seven story building, the victim apparently became unaware of his proximity to the building's edge when he backed off the edge and plummeted seven stories to the asphalt covered ground below. The window washer was working as part of a crew, although he was not in sight of his co-workers at the time of the incident. It was not until a passerby discovered the victim on the ground that emergency medical services were summoned. The victim was transported to the regional hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The Massachusetts FACE Program concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences, employers should: 1. Develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program which includes fall hazard recognition training and the use of fall protection equipment AB - 2. Ensure that appropriate fall protection equipment is provided and used when employees are subjected to fall hazards.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Wyoming Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Project (Wyoming FACE) A2 - Wyoming Occupational Fatality Analysis Program AB - A 36 year old male county road equipment operator died from injuries suffered when the pavement roller he was operating struck the rear end of a belly-dump asphalt carrier while travelling from a work site at the end of a county road improvement project. The two vehicles had been on a patching job approximately 90 miles away from the county seat. The truck had dumped a load of asphalt at the patch site and had driven up to the top of a hill to turn around while the victim operated a pavement compactor to roll the asphalt. After turning around, the truck drove past the job site and was slowing to a stop to wait for the victim to finish, so that they could drive together to a nearby staging area to park their vehicles. The victim completed his job and started after the truck at the highest possible speed of the machine (approximately 13 mph). Neither the truck driver nor his passenger saw the victim leave the job site and enter the roadway. The victim apparently did not realize that the truck was slowing or properly judge the distance between the two vehicles. The pavement compactor/roller struck the protruding "stinger" at the rear of the truck, causing the roller to "articulate" (bend in the middle with the front and back rollers moving from parallel to perpendicular), ejecting the operator. The roller than began a circular movement, running over the victim and continuing in a circular pattern. The truck passenger, feeling the shock of the collision, ran to the rear of the truck to see what had happened, saw the victim lying on the edge of the road, and tried to pull him out of the path of the machine while the truck driver attempted to climb on the still-circling machine to get it stopped before it ran over the victim a second time. They called for medical help and a life flight aircraft arrived in approximately 30 minutes. The victim was conscious and alert during the entire time. He tried to get up but the driver and passenger kept him laying down. The victim was transported to a major hospital in the central part of the state, where he was received approximately 1 1/2 hours after the incident occurred. Emergency treatment was provided en-route from the incident scene and in the hospital emergency room. He was awake and able to communicate by hand motions, but could not talk due to multiple face injuries. The victim expired in the hospital approximately two hours after being received there, and about 3 1/2 hours after the incident occurred. Results of a drug screen determined the existence of Cannabinoids in the urine and blood, indicating the use of marijuana within hours of the incident. Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1. Maintain visual contact with machinery that is scheduled to be moved to another location. 2. Establish and enforce strict policy regarding use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs, to include employee counseling or drug screening where appropriate. 3. Provide employee incentives to refuse to work with a co-worker who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 27-year-old male journeyman electrician (victim) was electrocuted when he contacted an energized unit of a potato transport system. The five individual units of the system - an accumulator, two conveyor tables, a telescoping conveyor table, and a piler - were mechanically joined to form a 198-foot long transport system used to move potatoes from delivery trucks into a warehouse. The victim and a coworker were making repairs to the control circuit of the system and reconnecting a remote stop switch. At some time in the past, a green colored wire in the control circuit had been used as a current carrying conductor. It was inadequately marked as such along the circuit and, unknown to the electricians, had been connected to another green wire in the system ground circuit. Due to existing circumstances during the repair work, the accumulator and a conveyor table frame were energized with a 277 volt potential as a result of the improper wiring connection. When the victim grabbed a hand hold on the accumulator to board it during troubleshooting, he provided a path to ground and was electrocuted. He called out for help and the coworker, seeing the victim was in trouble, disconnected power to the transport system and summoned medical help. Despite CPR attempts the victim died of his injuries. MN FACE investigators concluded that to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that all ungrounded conductors are labelled according to applicable standards as recommended by the National Electrical Code. 2. ensure that electrical equipment is grounded according to applicable standards as recommended by the National Electrical Code.

TY - Field Study A2 - Wyoming Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Project (Wyoming FACE) A2 - Wyoming Occupational Fatality Analysis Program AB - A 56 year old male truck driver died from injuries suffered when the truck where he was a passenger left the roadway, crossed the median, struck a guardrail, crossed the opposing road way, and struck a bridge approach and bridge guardrail. The incident site was an off-ramp location. The tractor cab fell from the highway to impact against the sloped concrete berm below. It was pulled back onto the highway by the still connected trailer, then disconnected from the trailer and overturned in the median separating east-bound from west-bound traffic. The trailer continued to skid sideways, coming to a stop approximately 100' beyond the tractor. The driver of the truck was the victim's wife. She was transported by ambulance to a hospital in the area and then by life-flight to an out of state hospital. The victim was trapped inside the tractor and was dead at the scene. The husband-and-wife team were self-employed outside the state and were hauling refrigerated foods inside the state. The vehicle was west-bound, having travelled through a high desert region in the dark over a wide, sparsely-travelled, well maintained stretch of Interstate highway. The weather was clear, the road was dry, and the dawn was breaking with the sun rising behind them. In this high desert, the road is often visible for several miles in either direction, leading to a phenomenon described as "highway hypnosis". Employers may be able to minimize the potential for occurrence of this type of incident through the following precautions: 1. Insure that all long-haul drivers are in good physical condition and maintain eating and sleeping habits that promote safety. 2.

The 23-year-old male victim had been employed by a small logging company with five employees that had been operating for 21 years. No written safety policy, safety program, or established safe work procedures were in place at the time of the incident. Rain had been falling all morning. The victim was assigned the tasks of limbing and setting chockers, but he apparently decided to fell a number of trees before starting limbing. He completed an undercut on his second tree and moved to the opposite side to make a backcut. The timber cutter, working about 60 feet away, had felled one tree and moved to another tree which was 90 feet long, and 21 inches in diameter. Although the undercut was made so that the tree should have fallen away from the victim, the holding wood was cut through when the backcut was made. The tree twisted on its stump and fell in the direction of the victim who was stooped overusing a chain saw to fell a tree. He was struck on the back. His death was listed as due to crushing injuries to the back. The investigators caution that employers should ensure workers are assigned to separate work areas. A safety program was also recommended which would include worker training in proper tree felling techniques. A competent person was to be designated who would conduct regular safety inspections.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Massachusetts Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Project (Massachusetts FACE) A2 - Massachusetts. Department of Public Health. Occupational Health Surveillance Program AB - On November 19, 1992, a 58 year old, male, self-employed general contractor died of injuries sustained in an approximate six foot fall from a portable step ladder on the previous day. Periodically retained by a private Massachusetts college to perform small odd jobs, the victim was repairing an acoustical lecture hall ceiling from the sixth or seventh step of the ladder when the incident occurred. Apparently losing his balance or grip, the victim fell backwards and struck the rear of his head on the armrest of a firmly anchored theater chair. The victim's brother, an occasional employee who was present when the fall occurred, briefly tended to the victim prior to summoning help. Emergency medical services (EMS) arrived within approximately five minutes, and transported the victim to a nearby medical center, where he died the following morning from his injuries. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent similar future occurrences self employed contractors should: 1. Develop written safety rules and procedures to protect their employees and themselves on the job, including but not limited to personal protection equipment, tool safety, and fall protection. In addition, government agencies and trade associations should: 2. Consider developing regional safety training programs aimed at disseminating pertinent safety information to individual contractors.

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 45-year-old male electrician (the victim) was electrocuted when he contacted an energized 1/2-inch metal-cased electric drill. The victim had been contracted to install electrical wiring in a residence under construction. He was in the process of drilling holes in overhead joists when the incident occurred. There were puddles of water on the cement floor of the work site. The drill was connected to a temporary power pole by a series of three extension cords, two of which were missing the ground pin. One cord was missing outer insulation jacket at both ends exposing the wiring for about 1/2 inch. The cords extended through the doorway outside to the power pole, where the ends were lying on the ground in puddles of rainwater and mud from recent heavy rainfalls. The cords were plugged into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle mounted on the power pole. The power pole had been inspected and certified as meeting local municipality code requirements prior to having the utility company install the meter. However, testing after the incident disclosed the GFCI was inoperative, and the fuse box for the 120 volt single phase 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets located at the power pole contained two 40-ampere fuses. After the victim failed to respond to phone calls from the contractor, the contractor proceeded to the work site and found the victim lying face down on top of the drill. The police responded to the contractor's call for assistance and after arriving at the scene, disconnected the power source before examining the victim. The police determined that rigor mortis had set in, and called the coroner to the scene. The coroner arrived 45 minutes later and pronounced the victim dead on the scene. The victim was self-employed, and there were no witnesses to the incident. The Wisconsin FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, the employer should: 1. Ensure that electrical service supplied to a construction site complies with all OSHA standards, the National Electric Code, and local regulations. 2. Implement a preventive maintenance program to keep cords, plugs, receptacles, and tools in good operating condition. 3. Test ground fault circuit interrupters on a daily basis. 4. Evaluate work areas to identify hazardous work conditions. AB - Publication Date provided by FACE program AB - not printed on the report.

Occupational Health Service AB - On June 22, 1994, a 45-year-old iron worker fell from a barge into a large river that divides two states. The victim was last seen working on the barge which had been docked at a shipyard for repairs. He and a co-worker were making a template for a welding job and were leaving the barge to start work on a steel rib. The victim apparently fell into the river as he jumped from the barge to the dock and drowned in the river. The co-worker, who did not see the incident, soon noticed that the victim was missing and reported this to the authorities. After a thorough search, the victim's body was recovered three days after the incident. NJDOH FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar incidents in the future, these safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Gang planks should always be used to climb on and off barges and other vessels from the pier. 2. Employers and employees must ensure that personal protective gear such as life vests are worn at all times when working near water. 3. Employers should ensure that safety officers receive the proper training and support to do their jobs effectively. 4. Employers and employees should conduct a job hazard analysis to identify and control potential safety hazards. 5. Employers should consider hiring a professional safety engineer to evaluate the dock and barge areas.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Massachusetts Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Project (Massachusetts FACE) A2 - Massachusetts. Department of Public Health. Occupational Health Surveillance Program AB - A 29 year old male carpentry foreman (the victim) was electrocuted when the metal ladder he was moving contacted an overhead powerline. Prior to the incident, the victim and two co-workers had been preparing the facade of a three story multi-family dwelling for a fresh coat of paint. As the crew of three were completing their day's work, the victim and a co-worker were moving a 40 foot aluminum extension ladder which had been positioned against the front of the residence. As the duo moved the ladder to a vertical position, it contacted the overhead powerline located about 24 feet above ground level and directly over their position. Electrical current passed through the ladder and victim to the ground, electrocuting the victim and shocking the co-worker. The Massachusetts FACE Program Investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Eliminate the use of conductive ladders in proximity to energized electrical conductors AB - 2. Make arrangements with local utility companies to de-energize or cover powerlines with insulating line hoses or blankets when work is to be performed in proximity to overhead powerlines AB - 3. Develop and implement a comprehensive safety program that includes training worker to identify and avoid jobsite electrical hazards AB - 4. Conduct routine jobsite surveys to identify electrical hazards and implement appropriate control measures. Additionally, ladder manufacturers and government agencies should: 5. Explore the feasibility of manufacturing aluminum ladders with non-conductive links or extensions.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 66-year-old male farmer (victim) died of injuries he sustained after falling from a tractor while plowing a field. He was plowing corn stubble under with a four bottom, three-wheeled, pull-type plow. The field was flat and dry. The tractor had a wide front-end but no roll over protective structure (ROPS) AB - the fenders had been removed. The plow became plugged with stubble during plowing, and the victim attempted to unplug it by raising the plow shares and proceeding in reverse at full throttle. The plow jack-knifed, causing one tractor wheel to jam against it. The sudden jolt as the tractor jammed against the plow probably threw the victim off the tractor. He was found between the plow and tractor beneath the right axle, with his face into the ground, approximately ten minutes after the incident. He was by then hypoxic. A pulse was restored on site by first responders, but he died the next day from his injuries. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. retrofit, whenever possible, older tractors with ROPS and seat belts to provide maximum protection to operators AB - and 2. keep tractor fenders in place to provide a barrier to moving tires for operators who may be jostled during operation.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study AU - Hoffman, Richard E. AU - McCammon, Jane B. AU - McKenzie, Lyle E. A2 - Colorado Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (Colorado FACE) A2 - Colorado. Department of Public Health and Environment AB - A warehouse worker at a distributor of styrofoam products was fatally injured when he exited an elevator that was in motion. In this incident the newly employed worker was starting work the morning of July 13, 1993. This would have been his second day on the job. A co-worker instructed him to go to the second level of the warehouse to cut forms out of styrofoam sheets. The co-worker assisted the new employee in starting a cable activated freight elevator to take him to the second level of the warehouse. The cable housing on the elevator was equipped with a manual switch that would automatically stop the elevator at the next level. The co-worker activated this switch and pulled on the cable which started the elevator in motion upwards. The original second floor of this building had been removed at sometime in the past and the elevator opening to the now non-existent second floor had been permanently blocked. It is thought that when the elevator passed this opening the deceased thinking he had missed his floor, panicked and exited the elevator while it was still in motion. He was able to get between the elevator and the wall of the elevator shaft. When the elevator passed above him he lost his grip and fell 3 stories to the concrete floor of the shaft. The co-worker on the first floor heard noises in the shaft and witnessed the deceased falling past the first floor. The elevator was still in motion at this time. The Colorado Department of Health (CDH) investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Ensure that all new employees are completely trained in the operation of equipment that they will be required to operate. 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.
