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 - Report A2 - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - The case of a 24-year-old male assistant manager for a shopping mall ice skating rink who was asphyxiated inside a compressor room while attempting to shut off a refrigerant gas leak was examined. The gas was chlorodifluoromethane-22 (75456) (CFC-22). The employer was the owner of a 170-store indoor shopping mall which included a swimming pool and an ice-skating rink. There was no safety policy or program in place. The refrigeration system had a long history of leaks. A large leak had been plugged in a makeshift fashion. A maintenance worker performing a routine check observed refrigerant oil oozing from under the doors to the compressor room. The victim, the maintenance supervisor, and a maintenance worker entered the compressor room through self-closing doors. The victim was wearing a cartridge type respirator which was inadequate in an oxygen deficient atmosphere. A coworker called 911 after entering the compressor room and seeing two of the workers lying on the floor. The maintenance worker and supervisor were rescued by an emergency medical service team. The victim was not in plain sight, and so remained in the room a longer period of time before being removed. He died of asphyxiation by oxygen displacement. Two swimmers in the pool and rescue personnel were also affected by CFC-22 vapor which had spread into adjacent areas. It was recommended that workers be adequately protected from recognized hazards by installing appropriate engineering controls AB - that a maintenance program be developed AB - and that a safety program be designed.

The employer was a steel alloy rolling mill that had a written safety policy and comprehensive safety program. The victim and the service representative from a company that manufactured a piece of voltage regulating equipment had met to discuss how the equipment was to be used to control voltage surges and regulate voltages to different pieces of equipment throughout the facility. The victim left the area to get the service manual for the equipment. The representative opened the panel cover on the system's control cabinet, preparing to trace out the low voltage wires in question, but he did not deenergize the system. The victim returned, knelt in front of the opened control cabinet, and positioned his upper body inside the 800-volt resistor compartment. He began tugging on the wires inside the compartment so that the service representative could identify them from above. The victim made a gurgling noise and shook as he contacted the energized conductor inside the cabinet. The service representative received a shock when he knocked the victim away from the conductor. It was recommended that the safe job procedures governing access into electrical control cabinets be reviewed AB - that the importance of following safe job procedures related to deenergizing electrical systems be followed AB - that voltage regulating equipment be wired with color coded wire AB - and that employees be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques.

The employer was a roofing and sheet metal contractor which employed 80 workers, including 20 roofer helpers. The employer had a written safety policy, a comprehensive written safety program, and a full-time designated safety officer. The contractor had been subcontracted to provide and install roofing materials on an addition to the gymnasium at a middle school. On the day of the accident five workers were placing insulating strips over the panels on the roof deck. The victim, after completing a task, approached the foreman and asked what was to be done at the plywood area. The foreman instructed him to wait because there was a hole in that area. The victim walked toward the plywood as the foreman continued his own task. The victim either intentionally removed the plywood from the opening, lost his balance and fell, or unintentionally displaced the plywood and tripped into the opening. He died about 17 hours later of a fractured skull and cerebral edema. It was recommended that the floor opening be guarded by a standard railing and toe boards or cover capable of supporting the load AB - and that a verbal and/or written examination be made to reinforce and evaluate the effectiveness of the safety training program.

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Field Study A2 - Minnesota Fatality Assessment & Control Evaluation Program (MN FACE) A2 - Minnesota. Department of Health AB - A 35-year-old male (victim) died on the farm he managed after falling into and suffocating in a corn bin containing approximately 40,000 bushels of corn. The corn was being unloaded onto semi-trailer trucks for transportation to a nearby chicken farm. No standby person was present when the victim entered the bin and the grain auger had not been shut down. Earlier, corn flow from the auger had stopped intermittently, and the victim was apparently attempting to unclog a jam with a garden rake when the incident occurred. There were no witnesses. Approximately six hours after falling into the bin, his body was recovered near the point of corn removal at the bottom of the bin. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. MN FACE investigators concluded that, in order to prevent similar occurrences, farm personnel should: 1. enter confined spaces only when a standby person is present and use personal protective equipment such as safety belts or harnesses when feasible AB - 2. fully shut down operating equipment within confined spaces and use appropriate well-maintained tools for specific procedures AB - 3. post warning signs at entrances to confined spaces containing stored grains AB - and 4. retrofit grain storage facilities with mechanical leveling or raking devices, if possible, to minimize the need to enter grain storage bins.

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.

The employer was a subcontractor installing structure and equipment inside an automotive parts assembly facility under construction. The victim was painting a section of support steel. Welders continued the fabrication of the facility. The victim was painting from a battery powered single man lift. The lift was plugged into a receptacle through an extension cord to charge the batteries. The 55 foot extension cord had the mechanical ground prong removed and had a poorly made splice. Two hours before the accident the victim told his supervisor that he had been receiving shocks from the conveyor. Several minutes prior to the accident the worker again stated he was receiving shocks from the equipment but again they were dismissed as insignificant. Moments later the painter was seen slumped in his chair on the lift. One of the welders (the victim's son) received a shock when he touched the victim. It was not possible to determine the source of the electrical energy to the conveyor, since equipment and materials were removed from the site before the investigation. It was recommended that thorough investigations be conducted immediately when a worker reports receiving mild electrical shocks AB - that effective electrical grounding be provided for all conductive assemblies and structures during the installation of conveyor systems AB - and that all electrically powered tools and equipment prior to and periodically during their use at the worksite be inspected.

Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program AB - The case of a 27-year-old crew foreman who was electrocuted when he contacted an energized conductor on a utility pole was investigated. The employer in this incident was a cable television (CATV) installation company. The company had a written safety procedure. All three members of the crew had been hired the day before the accident. The crew arrived at the worksite to lash new CATV wire around the existing CATV wire, which was attached to utility poles approximately 4 feet below the existing electrical system ground wire. The foreman connected a 3/8-inch polyethylene rope to one end of the CATV wire and a weight to the other end of the rope. The foreman tried to throw the rope between the ground wire and the existing CATV wire, but instead the rope landed around the overhead powerlines above the transformer. The foreman requested the lineman to retrieve the rope, but the lineman refused, stating that it was too dangerous. The foreman donned a pair of linemen's climbers and ascended the utility pole to a position above the transformer, 25 feet above the ground. The victim apparently came into contact with the energized conductor and fell to the ground. It was recommended that employers evaluate current safety programs and incorporate specific procedures related to the recognition and avoidance of hazards AB - that employers ensure employees are trained in the proper use of safety equipment AB - that employers consider, evaluate, and adopt alternate methods for positioning guide ropes between wires AB - and that all workers be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Occupational Health Surveillance Program AB - A 33 year old man (victim) from the Dominican Republic died in a confined space in a hospital laundry. The victim was cleaning plastic debris off the inside of a laundry dryer with a chisel. He had entered the large industrial dryer through a small opening 25 inches by 40 inches propped open with a 2 by 4, and was not visible to other employees. The automated system was activated, delivering 200 pounds of wet laundry to this dryer, knocking the door closed, and beginning the 6 minute, heated drying cycle. The injuries sustained caused his death. The Department of Labor and Industries concluded that employers should take the following steps to prevent future similar occurrence: 1. Ensure that any machinery being cleaned or repaired is locked out or tagged out by the person doing the task. 2. Develop a confined space entry program with emergency rescue procedures, a permit system and a standby person assigned outside the confined space. 3. Reduce the need to enter a confined space for cleaning by eliminating or minimizing the delivery of inappropriate plastic materials to the washers and dryers. 4. Develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes at its core the training and direction of employees, in their own language, regarding safety and health hazards on the job.

The victim was a 33-year-old man with an associate degree as a HVACR technician. The victim worked for a small company that performed HVACR maintenance services for commercial and industrial equipment. The company employed 14 workers and had general written safety procedures. After doing some preliminary work, the victim partially connected his vacuum pump lines to the refrigerant system without deenergizing the refrigeration unit (RU). The technician was electrocuted when he touched the surface of the energized RU. Electrical inspections conducted after the accident revealed that one of the phase conductors in the RU starter had its insulation damaged and was arcing to the flexible conduit connector. The connection between the flexible conduit and the conduit connector had loosened and disrupted the grounding continuity between the starter and the RU. The author recommends that electrical equipment should be deenergized before servicing, a mechanical grounding conductor should be available, ground fault protection should be provided, and employers should provide training to prevent against unsafe work practices.

The employer was engaged in the sale of antiques, marble cutting, sandblasting, and furniture refinishing. There was no written safety policy or program. The victim had changed the filter in the abrasive blasting airline respirator the previous day because the supplied air smelled stale. He resumed sandblasting the chairs at 8am. At 9am, the victim was found lying on the ground unconscious, breathing, still wearing the abrasive blasting respirator. He was pronounced dead after being transported to a hospital. Acute toxic poisoning was the cause of death. It was determined that the vanes of the compressor's radiator were clogged, and that the engine of the air compressor was extremely low on oil to the point where it had seized. Evidence of combustion or extreme heat were present at the back end of the compressor, the main discharge line was broken, three electrical safety relays that would detect high ambient oil or discharged air temperature had been bypassed, the filter offered no protection against toxic gases, and a black oil residue was noted in both discharge lines and in the air filtration unit. It was recommended that a comprehensive respiratory protection program be developed AB - that periodic inspections be made of all equipment and machinery AB - that safety features incorporated into the design of machinery are in proper working order AB - and that written safety policy and procedures be developed.

About an hour before he fell, some of the temporary metal flooring had been removed from the fourth floor because most of the work had been completed at that height. The victim left the roof deck to get a drink from the water cooler on the fourth floor. Coworkers told him that he had missed a few bolts on the fourth floor, and he began walking along the floor looking upward for the missed bolts. He was not tied off. He was not aware some of the flooring was missing and he fell through a hole (5 feet wide and 28 feet long) to the ground. The cause of death was massive injuries to the head, neck, and chest. It was recommended that workers do not leave a workplace until all floor openings have been safely secured by barriers with warning signs or safety railings AB - that all workers continually adhere to established safe work practices AB - and that all workers actively participate in workplace safety.

The victim was part of a five-man crew assigned to transfer a three-phase, 34,500-volt, overhead powerline system from one utility pole to a taller utility pole. The transfer of the powerlines had been completed, and insulating blankets and line sleeves still covered the powerlines, insulators, and crossarms. While removing the line sleeve from the middle powerline, the victim's rubber glove became caught on an aluminum wire securing the powerline to the insulator. When the victim pulled his arm back, the rubber glove was partially pulled off, and the victim's exposed right wrist contacted the powerline. Electrical current passed through the victim's right arm and exited the body at the left side of the lower abdomen, which had been in contact with the utility pole crossarm, causing his electrocution.
