OR-FACE exhibits at the Pacific Commercial Fishermen's Festival!
The Oregon FACE Program exhibited at the Pacific Commercial Fishermen's Festival in Astoria, OR on September 19 and 20, 2009. OR-FACE partnered with the US Coast Guard Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Program to educate festival attendees about commercial fishing vessel deaths and fatality prevention strategies. View the Oregon crab fishing poster on display at the festival and photos from this eventful day, including a PFD demonstration, a US Coast Guard rescue, crabpot construction, and much more!
FACT: Each day, on average, 16 U.S. workers die as a result of a traumatic injury on the job. OR-FACE identifies and conducts research on traumatic work-related fatalities in Oregon. This information identifies risk factors that contribute to fatal occupational injuries and is used to develop safety materials and recommendations to prevent similar deaths in the future.
