Each day about 15 U.S. workers die on the job from traumatic injury. In an effort to address these deaths, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program and State FACE Programs study fatal workplace injuries and prepare reports with recommendations to prevent similar deaths. Worker safety matters.

Washington State FACE Fatality and Injury Narratives

Washington State FACE fatality and injury narratives are one page documents that describe occupational incidents and provide safety recommendations. Many of the fatality and injury narratives are available in both English and Spanish.

Construction FACE Database

Created by The Center for Construction Research and Training, the Construction FACE Database (CFD) uses information from NIOSH and State FACE reports on construction-related fatalities.
