USMWF

Because going to work shouldn't be a grave mistake!

 

FACE to FACE

 

Standing FACE to FACE and getting the full picture.

NIOSH provides grants to nine State agencies for its Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program (FACE), which provides in-depth investigation reports for a small number of work-related fatality incidents. USMWF will be aligning the photos and tributes from our Faces campaign with these State-FACE reports. Although only a small fraction of all work-related fatalities are assessed through this FACE program, we do want to make the connections to give an identity to the deceased worker and to increase the opportunity to learn lessons from a family's loss.
