This report describes the Minnesota Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology Study (MN FACE), a new federally funded initiative to study fatal injuries in the workplace. Its primary objective is to reduce occupational fatalities. Fatalities due to falls, electrocutions, and asphyxiation caused by entry into confined spaces are currently investigated in Minnesota. MN FACE determines risk factors associated with fatalities then develops interventions for their mitigation or elimination. A comprehensive, statewide surveillance system, including state agencies, associations, organized labor, and industry, has been established to reduce the amount of bias in reporting.
本报告介绍了明尼苏达致命事故情况与流行病学研究（MN FACE），这是一项由联邦政府资助的新倡议，旨在研究工作场所的致命伤害。其主要目标是减少职业死亡人数。明尼苏达州目前正在调查因坠落、触电以及进入密闭空间导致的窒息而造成的死亡事故。MN FACE确定与死亡相关的风险因素，然后制定干预措施以减轻或消除这些风险因素。为减少报告中的偏差，已建立了一个全面的全州监测系统，包括州政府机构、协会、工会和行业。
