During the period between 1992 through 1998, the Bureau of Labor Statistics identified an average of 67 work related deaths of individuals younger than 18 each year. This article describes the Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program and summarizes indepth data collected on 59 young worker fatalities in 26 states. These investigations were conducted between May 1986 and February 2002. Young workers ranged in age from 9 to 17 years, with a mean age of 15.3 years: 21 were working in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry; 12 in construction; 10 in manufacturing; 8 in services; and 8 in the retail industry. The majority worked as laborers. Ninety-three percent were young men. Each investigation resulted in the formulation and dissemination of strategies to help prevent future similar occurrences. As an example of state FACE activities, the article describes the Wisconsin FACE program's efforts to foster collaboration between regulatory agencies, researchers, educators, and occupational safety and health professionals, and to integrate efforts aimed at improving safety for young workers.
在1992年至1998年期间，美国劳工统计局确定每年平均有67名18岁以下的人死于与工作相关的事故。本文介绍了死亡评估与控制评价（FACE）计划，并总结了在26个州收集的59起年轻工人死亡事故的深入数据。这些调查在1986年5月至2002年2月期间进行。年轻工人的年龄在9岁至17岁之间，平均年龄为15.3岁：21人从事农业、林业和渔业；12人从事建筑业；10人从事制造业；8人从事服务业；8人从事零售业。大多数人是劳工。93%是年轻男性。每次调查都制定并传播了有助于防止未来类似事件发生的策略。作为州FACE活动的一个例子，本文描述了威斯康星州FACE计划为促进监管机构、研究人员、教育工作者和职业安全与健康专业人员之间的合作，以及整合旨在提高年轻工人安全性的努力所做的工作。
