OR-FACE is the Oregon Occupational Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation program. It is a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) sponsored research program designed to identify and study fatal occupational injuries.

Each day, on average, 16 U.S. workers die as a result of a traumatic injury on the job. Investigations conducted through the FACE program allow the identification of factors that contribute to fatal occupational injuries. This information is used to develop comprehensive recommendations for preventing similar deaths.
