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 - Alaska Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Project (Alaska FACE) A2 - Alaska. Division of Public Health. Section of Epidemiology. Occupational Injury Prevention Program AB - A 47-year-old male tree faller (the victim) was felling trees on a mountainside with a 50 percent slope. The victim was opening a cutting strip approximately 150 feet above a logging road when he felled a hemlock tree that became lodged against another hemlock. The victim decided to clear the lodged tree by cutting and felling the supporting tree. There were no witnesses to the incident, but evidence suggests that when the victim cut the supporting tree, it carried the lodged tree into his intended escape path. Presumably, during his attempt to move away from the falling support tree, the victim tripped in a small hole and fell to the ground. The lodged tree fell on him, striking him on the head and shoulder, fatally crushing him. NIOSH investigators concluded that, in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that tree fallers dislodge trees according to safe methods specified in logging industry standards 2. ensure that tree fallers receive adequate training in safe work procedures 3. designate a company safety manager to conduct regular safety inspections 4. designate a person to check on the safety of lone or isolated fallers and buckers at regular intervals 5. ensure that worker safety has been addressed in the planning process of logging operations.

The victim cut a hemlock snag (dead standing tree) that was 90 feet tall and 40 inches in diameter at the butt. About 24 feet directly uphill from the snag was a decayed hemlock log that was lying horizontally, parallel with the contour of the slope. The decayed log was lying on top of two smaller yellow cedar logs that were parallel to each other (about 14 feet apart), and perpendicular to the slope. When the victim cut the snag, it fell across one of the yellow cedar logs, which jarred the decayed hemlock log. A slab from the decayed log (measuring 23.5 feet long by 2 feet wide by 6 to 8 inches thick) broke loose and slid about 24 feet down the two yellow cedar logs, striking the victim on the side of the head and fatally injuring him. NIOSH investigators concluded that, in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that fallers properly evaluate the area around timber to be felled so that potential hazards can be identified and avoided. 2. ensure that tree fallers prepare an adequate escape path before cutting and felling any tree 3. designate a company safety manager to conduct regularly scheduled, and unscheduled, safety inspections 4. ensure that worker safety has been addressed in the planning process of logging operations.

Occupational Injury Prevention Program AB - A 49-year-old male bulldozer operator (the victim) was crushed to death while compacting earthen fill with a bulldozer during the construction of an oil exploration island. The victim was operating the bulldozer on level ground, alternately in forward and reverse at half throttle. With the blade completely down, the victim presumably shifted the transmission control lever to or toward neutral. The transmission may have been partially disengaged, but not fully in neutral. Assuming the bulldozer transmission to be in a stable neutral position (and without shifting the transmission control safety lever into the neutral lock position), the victim exited the cab on the right side, and stepped down onto the track of the bulldozer to give directions to a truck driver. Investigative information suggests that at this moment the transmission may have slipped back into the first gear of reverse, causing the bulldozer to move suddenly in reverse. As a result, the victim was pulled between the underside of the fender and the top of the track cleats. As the bulldozer continued in reverse, the victim was fatally crushed beneath the track cleats. NIOSH investigators concluded that, in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that mobile equipment is not left unattended unless all precautions necessary to prevent motion have been taken 2. ensure that compliance with safe work procedures are enforced through frequent inspections and observation of employee work habits 3. ensure that employees receive regular training that addresses safe work procedures 4. consider installing two-way radios inside the cabs of trucks and heavy equipment so that operators can communicate without leaving their cabs. Additionally, equipment manufacturers should: 5. consider equipment engineering designs and controls to prevent machine-related injuries 6. develop and affix appropriate safety signs inside the cabs of bulldozers and other heavy equipment, listing necessary precautions.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Journal Article AU - Fosbroke DE AU - Helmkamp JC AU - Kennedy RD AU - Myers, Melvin L. AB - Fatalities resulting from occupational injury were studied for workers in Alaska during the year 1991. During this year, 89 occupational fatalities occurred which exceeded by over 57% the average of 53 deaths that would have been expected based on data collected from 1980 through 1988. While 40% of the expected deaths would have occurred in the fishing, air transport and logging industries, actual data showed that 62% of these fatalities occurred in these industries. Of the 28 fatalities in other industries, 15 were caused by aircraft crashes. In the fishing industry, 11 were confirmed drowned, 27 were presumed drowned, one was killed in an aircraft crash, and two were crushed by equipment during fishing operations. The authors suggest that combined analysis by industries, occupations, and circumstances of fatal events are crucial to a complete understanding of the magnitude of the occupational injury problem and the subsequent development of appropriate preventive strategies at both the national and regional levels. The efficacy of the Alaska Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology (FACE) program in enumerating work related fatalities is based on the continued assistance and collaboration of federal and state agencies responsible for the legal reporting of deaths within their jurisdiction.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 34-year-old male (victim) electric utility worker died after contacting an energized 4160-volt power line as he was attempting to replace a termination bracket bolt. The procedure took place within one foot of the energized wire, and the lineman was not wearing protective gloves. Earlier, he had had difficulty in handling a 1/4" bolt and had to descend from an aerial bucket to retrieve it from the ground after dropping it. The victim had appropriate personal protective equipment available (high voltage gloves, safety glasses, and hard hat). However, according to a coworker, he apparently removed the gloves in order to improve hand dexterity after re-ascending in the bucket. The coworker, acting as an observer, lowered the unconscious victim within one minute of hearing a zap and seeing the slumped, unresponsive figure. Emergency medical procedures (CPR and ACLS) were administered within the recommended time limits, but the victim was not resuscitated. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, the following safety guidelines should be followed: 1. Personal protective equipment, protective devices, and special tools provided for work should be used by employees. 2. Employees working in the vicinity of energized lines should consider the effects of their actions, taking into account their own safety as well as the safety of other employees on the job site. 3. When performing tasks requiring hand dexterity, protective equipment other than insulating gloves should be considered. 4.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Report A2 - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - The case of an electrical line mechanic who was electrocuted while trying to attach an energized conductor to a crossarm mounted insulator was described. While the victim had worked for the electrical contracting company for only 7 months, he had 31 documented years of experience in this field. He was part of a three-man crew relocating and attaching existing powerline phases to crossarms on new power poles. The victim and his supervisor were working from aerial buckets fastening 19,900-volt conductors to insulators. Current was seen arcing across a crossarm bolt in contact with the victim's chest, but his arms were raised and not in contact with the conductor. Evidence suggested that the victim positioned his aerial bucket and then lifted his arms above his head to allow the perspiration to drain from his gloves and sleeves as it was 95 degrees-F that day. The perspiration may have contacted the energized conductor allowing the current to track back into his gloves. It was recommended that employers be certain linemen are instructed to maintain the exterior surface of high voltage equipment in a dry condition and to move a safe distance from such equipment before draining perspiration AB - that safe work procedures be followed including the covering of conductors with insulating materials at once before doing any other task AB - and that more comfortable and flexible protective equipment be developed.

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 33 year old male interstate truck driver from Massachusetts died as the result of injuries sustained in a 10 foot fall from on top of his load while securing it to his flatbed trailer. On the day of the incident the victim was routinely assisted by a co-worker using strapping to secure a load of rolled chain link fencing to his flatbed trailer for delivery to an out-of-state client on the following day. While on top of the load, and during the course of securing it to the flatbed, the co-worker claimed that the victim lost his balance, hollered, and slid down unsecured rolls of fencing falling approximately 10 feet to the parking lot below. Remaining fully conscious throughout this ordeal, the victim complained only of back pain and a minor laceration on his mouth. Emergency response personnel were routinely summoned and the victim was transported to the regional hospital and subsequently to yet another area medical center where he died eight days later. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes analysis and discussion of transport vehicle loading and unloading procedures. 2. Consider purchase and use of transport vehicles that are fully enclosed to eliminate the need of mounting the load to secure it from movement. 3. Consider loading and/or unloading flatbed transport vehicles in an area of the yard or facility where unprotected sides of transport vehicle could be temporarily protected, or use alternative methods not requiring an unsecured employee to be on the load, thus eliminating a fall from atop the load and/or collapse of the load itself.

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 70 year old male demolition laborer fell 26 feet to his death through a roof opening during the course of manual demolition work at a multi-million dollar school renovation project in Massachusetts. On the day of the incident, the victim was part of a five man rooftop crew manually dismantling tar, gravel and wooden planking from a flat built-up gymnasium rooftop to expose the steel gridwork beneath. Once the tar and gravel weather barrier was removed, strategic chain saw cuts were made to the wooden planking to create more manageable pieces to facilitate their removal. As work progressed, this on-going process exposed the crew to an increasing danger of falling through the ever widening roof opening. An eyewitness account described the victim standing approximately 5-6 feet from the roof opening one moment, and falling through it the next. The working surface was described as clear, dry, and stable with no noticeable slip/trip hazards present. The victim fell approximately 26 feet directly through the 10' x 10' opening and onto a waste heap of tar and gravel debris below. Immediately following the fall, the victim was in a state of semi-consciousness, labored to breathe and suffered only a slight visible facial abrasion. Moments later however, with advanced life support assistance on hand, the victim went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead less than one hour later at the regional hospital. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Consider and address worker safety in the planning phase of construction projects and do so on a daily basis if necessary. 2. Select and appoint a designated safety person to develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, worker training in fall hazard recognition and the use of fall protection devices. 3. Implement current standard(s) which require floor openings to be adequately protected and/or personal protective equipment to be used in the presence of fall hazards.

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 25 year old male self-employed carpentry specialist (victim) was electrocuted after he contacted an overhead energized public utility power line. The victim and an employee had been applying new siding to a private multi-family dwelling and were nearing completion of the project. In the course of dismantling pump jack scaffolding, both men were manning a single 30 foot aluminum staging pole specifically in the effort to avoid both damage to the dwelling AND contact with the powerlines. While both men were apparently succeeding in their efforts to do so, either difficulty in uprighting the staging pole or a gust of wind caused the staging pole to sway resulting in contact with the inner most power distribution line located some 70 inches from the dwelling itself. The point of contact was 13.8 kV line to line with 7,967 volts line to ground. Staging pole contact with the powerline provided a path to ground for the electrical current shocking the employee who was able to break free, yet electrocuting the victim who did not break contact in time to survive. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that employers should: 1. Ensure and enforce strict compliance with established Federal and/or State regulations requiring pre-project electrical system assessments and safeguarding measures for protection of employees engaged in work in close proximity to energized powerlines. 2. Develop, or revise when applicable, safety rules and procedures that address working in close proximity to energized overhead powerlines. 3. Investigate alternative use of non-conductive staging members when performing tasks in close proximity to high voltage hazards. 4. Utilize personal protective equipment to eliminate or minimize exposure to possible high voltage hazards. In addition, public utilities should: 5. Investigate, or revise when applicable, placement or protection of potentially hazardous utilities in close proximity to places of residence or business, such as underground placement, placement of utility lines further from building., permanent insulation, etc. Consider implementation of a permit system whereby persons or firms engaged in general exterior renovation and/or repair must notify public utility prior to commencement of work.

Occupational Health Surveillance Program AB - A 29 year male old carpenter (victim) fell 19 feet to his death off of unguarded carpenters bracket scaffolding at a homesite under construction in Massachusetts. At the time of the incident, the building shell was intact beneath a 3-4 inch blanket of ice encrusted snow which had fallen in the hours preceding sunrise. Once positioned on the snow and ice encrusted scaffolding, the victim began pulling the snow towards him with a man-made device to clear the surface for roofing material application. As the snow accumulated about his feet, the victim slipped or tripped off of the planks and fell striking the back of his head and shoulders on the frozen ground below. The victim was pronounced dead approximately 5 hours later in the regional medical center. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that employers should: 1. Implement current standard(s) which require the inclusion of guardrailing systems (i.e.,toprails, midrails, toeboards, endrails) when working on elevated platforms. 2. Implement current standard(s) which require the use of safety belts/harnesses, lifelines, and lanyards when working from elevations. 3.

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 72 year old male facilities maintenance foreman received a 600 volt electrical shock causing him to fall 12 feet from a wooden portable step ladder while dismantling a live interior dual-track overhead crane system at a family owned computer software reproduction facility in Massachusetts. On the day of the incident, the victim was working with a maintenance department co-worker preparing soon to be leased warehouse space for occupancy. The victim was foreman of a three man in-house facilities maintenance crew. The victim and the co-worker had been dismantling three end to end sections of track on the non-energized side (dead side) of the crane system. The Massachusetts Department of Labor and Industries FACE Investigator concluded that the victim, believing the crane system to be de-energized and once attaining the desired height on a 12 foot portable wooden step ladder, made direct contact with either the wiring feed or the live track itself, yelled, and fell to the concrete floor below striking his head. The victim died seven days later as the result of injuries sustained in the fall. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Develop, implement, and enforce a comprehensive safety program which includes worker training in recognizing and avoiding hazards, especially electrical hazards. 2. Ensure strict compliance with current standards that require electrical systems be de-energized and tested to verify that they have been de-energized, and/or locked out/tagged out and tested prior to any work being performed. 3. Utilize services of area qualified electrical contractor or in-house qualified personnel to perform and document hazard/risk assessment and address the appropriate measures to be taken to safely perform the necessary task(s).

A2 - Massachusetts Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Project (Massachusetts FACE) A2 - Massachusetts. Department of Public Health. Occupational Health Surveillance Program AB - A 30 year old male off-duty municipal firefighter/EMT performing independent scuba diving work for an area electricity production company accidentally drowned when his body became entrapped in a submerged river water gate. The water gate was one of two points where river water enters a submerged pipeline/shaft system to provide turbine power for the electricity generation process. The company had been attempting for several days to completely close the water gate for maintenance purposes without success. The victim had contracted with the company to clear an underwater obstruction from one of the water gates hoping the gate would then freely and entirely close. Having performed this service on at least one previous occasion and while attempting to clear the obstruction, his leg(s) became entrapped in the partially opened water gate. With his air supply rapidly running out, several unsuccessful attempts were made from above to extricate the victim. By the time certified and equipped divers arrived on-site to further the rescue attempt, the victim had been without air for approximately 30-40 minutes. Once extricated, the victim was revived, yet he died several hours later at the regional hospital. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that, in order to prevent future similar occurrences, divers and entities needing such services should: 1. Determine, assess, and discuss beforehand, the actual and/or potential hazards associated with the performance of underwater projects. Diving equipment should be checked and double checked and plans made in advance of rescue operations that may be needed in association with such identified or unidentified hazards. 2. Implement and enforce strict compliance with policies that ensure fail-safe communications with individuals engaged in underwater operations. 3. Implement and enforce strict compliance with policies that mandate diving in teams of no less than two certified persons familiar in underwater rescue operations. 4. Implement and enforce strict compliance with policies that mandate one or more certified persons familiar in underwater rescue operations be located immediately above the jobsite water level with appropriate equipment to mount immediate rescue operations, if necessary.

Division of Public Health. Section of Epidemiology. Occupational Injury Prevention Program AB - On May 21, 1992, a 41-year-old mountain expedition guide disappeared into a crevasse on Mt. McKinley and is presumed dead. The lip of the large crevasse collapsed while he was inspecting the edge to determine a safe bypass route for a party of 2 other climbers. The surviving expedition members attempted to locate the victim but were unsuccessful. The National Park Service decided that an attempt to recover the victim's body was too hazardous. Because the victim's body was not recovered, the exact cause of death could not be determined. However, it is presumed that the victim was either crushed under tons of compressed ice or fell an estimated 85 feet to the bottom of the crevasse. The victim was guiding an expedition down from a summit attempt of Mt. McKinley. The fatality occurred at approximately 2:00 P.M. on the South Buttress of the mountain. Another member of the expedition suffered frostbite injuries while near Mt. McKinley's summit and was hospitalized. He was released and returned to his home in another state. The "AKFACE" investigator concluded that, in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that standard safety practices used in mountaineering are strictly followed 2. ensure that other expedition members are aware of mountain escape routes in the event that the expedition leader is incapacitated 3. ensure that expeditions have a back-up radio communications system in the event that the expedition leader and/or their critical equipment is lost.

Prior to the incident, the victim had been operating two sueder machines for approximately 9 to 10 hours. The 5- and 10-horsepower motors in the two machines had a regular tendency to overheat when heavy cloth was processed AB - heavier-weight material increased the tension on the machines' rollers, producing added friction and heat. Overheating of the motors would trip the overload relays and shut down the machines. The control panel covers on the two machines had previously been modified to increase heat dissipation AB - however, on the day preceding the incident, the cover had been removed altogether on machine #7, without authorization. On the day of the incident, the victim apparently attempted to cool the uncovered electrical equipment inside the control panel of machine #7 with a stream of compressed air from an air hose. The metal nozzle of the hose contacted an energized conductor inside the control panel. Current successively passed through the nozzle, the victim's hand, chest, and other hand to ground, through one of the other machines that the victim was touching. This caused his electrocution.

A2 - Missouri Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MO FACE) A2 - Missouri. Department of Health AB - A 33-year-old male sanitation worker (victim) died after falling from the back of a moving refuse collection vehicle. The victim, co-worker, and driver were following a routine commercial refuse collection route. It was raining and the victim was standing on a steel platform on the right rear side of the truck. The truck had completed a left turn and traveled approximately 70 feet when the victim fell from the platform and on to the street. His head struck the pavement in the area of the concrete curbing on the right side of the roadway. He was found unconscious and bleeding from the nose and mouth. He was taken by ambulance to the local hospital then later transferred by ambulance to a trauma center. According to the coroner's report the victim had multiple birth defects including cerebral palsy and had some weakness on one side of the body. The associated risk of these disabilities, if any, is not determinable. The MO FACE investigator concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Consider the use of a fall restraining system for the riders on the garbage collection vehicles. 2. Provide a non-slip platform on which the employee should stand. 3. Require that safety shoes with non-skid soles be worn by employees at all times. 4. Institute a job-analysis program to determine the physical qualifications of the position and necessary physical capabilities of the employee.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Alaska Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Project (Alaska FACE) A2 - Alaska. Division of Public Health. Section of Epidemiology. Occupational Injury Prevention Program AB - An assistant ice rink manager (the victim) died of asphyxiation when he attempted to stop a refrigeration system gas (chlorodifluoromethane 22 or CFC-22) leak inside the compressor room at a mall complex. The refrigeration system had been leaking for an extended period of time when the victim, a maintenance supervisor, and a maintenance worker entered the compressor room through self-closing doors. All three individuals became unconscious and collapsed. The maintenance worker and supervisor were rescued and resuscitated by emergency rescue personnel. Since the victim was not in plain sight and rescue personnel were unaware of his presence, the victim was not immediately removed from the room. After being informed by a witness that a third person was in the room, rescue personnel reentered the room and extracted the victim. He could not be resuscitated. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival by the attending physician. The victim and the maintenance supervisor wore air-purifying respirators AB - however, this type of respirator was inappropriate for the oxygen-deficient atmosphere. During the rescue, an emergency medical technician entered the room without wearing any respiratory protection. NIOSH personnel concluded that in order to prevent future similar occurrences, employers should: 1. ensure that workers are adequately protected from recognized hazards by installing appropriate engineering controls 2. develop and implement a maintenance program that will address routine inspection and repair of refrigeration systems 3. develop and implement a safety program designed to help workers recognize, understand, and control hazards 4. ensure that workers are adequately protected from recognized hazards with appropriate personal protective equipment 5. develop and implement a comprehensive emergency action plan. In addition, fire departments and emergency rescue services should: 6. establish a registry identifying potentially hazardous facilities, and inform emergency rescue personnel of these potential hazards, and of appropriate rescue methods and equipment 7. ensure that responding personnel are properly trained in the selection and use of respiratory protective equipment.
