 FACT: Each day, on average, 12 U.S. workers die as a result of a traumatic injury on the job. OR-FACE conducts research on traumatic work-related fatalities in Oregon and identifies risk factors that contribute to fatal occupational injuries.  This information is used to develop safety materials and recommendations to prevent similar deaths in the future.
