BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI)
CFOI is a national census of occupational injury fatalities, including self-employed workers, agricultural workers, and government employees. Developed and maintained by BLS, CFOI uses multiple sources of information (e.g., death certificates, OSHA reports, workers’ compensation data, police reports, and newspaper clippings). CFOI is a Federal/State cooperative program in which costs are shared. States provide data to BLS for inclusion in a national database and maintain their own State databases.
Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program
The primary intent of this program is to provide interested users with access to the full text of hundreds of fatality investigation reports. This site also includes background on the FACE program-including the history of the program, a full description of the program, and contact information-as well as relevant links to other sites of interest. NIOSH FACE began in 1982. Participating states voluntarily notify NIOSH of traumatic occupational fatalities resulting from targeted causes of death that have included confined spaces, electrocutions, machine-related, falls from elevation, working youth, and logging.
State FACE Webpage
Since 1989, NIOSH has supported 22 states to conduct FACE investigations. NIOSH currently funds 7 State FACE programs: California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Washington.
