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.
OR-FACE
has released their Annual Report for 2005 in PDF format.
Past annual reports: 2004 | 2003
