1992 年至 1998 年间，美国劳工统计局平均每年发现 67 例 18 岁以下人士因工作而死亡。本文介绍了死亡评估和控制评估 (FACE) 计划，并总结了收集的 26 个州 59 名年轻工人死亡事件的深入数据。这些调查是在1986年5月至2002年2月期间进行的。青年工人的年龄从9岁到17岁不等，平均年龄15.3岁：从事农、林、渔业工作的有21人，从事农业、林业、渔业的有21人。 12个在建；制造业10人；服务业8个；零售业有 8 家。大多数人从事劳工工作。百分之九十三是年轻人。每项调查都会制定和传播策略，以帮助防止未来发生类似情况。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、教育工作者以及职业安全和健康专业人员之间的合作以及整合旨在改善年轻工人安全的努力所做的努力。
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.
