Washington FACE Program publishes three injury narratives in Spanish
Tumwater, WA — The Washington State Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program has published three new narratives in Spanish.
FACE narratives summarize work-related incidents and list recommendations and requirements that could have prevented them from occurring. In addition, they provide preliminary information about the incident, similar to OSHA’s Fatal Facts and the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s Fatalgrams.
The narratives:
• Siding Installer Falls 23 Feet from Pump Jack Scaffold
• Operator Crushed Between Forklift and Storage Rack
• Framer Falls 25 Feet from House Roof
An accompanying slideshow for each is available on the WA FACE website, along with a full library of narratives. The narratives are designed to be used as formal or informal educational opportunities so similar incidents can be prevented.
