The information contained in these Fatal Facts was accurate and correct at the time of issuance. Fatal Facts began in 1984, and since that time, there have been several changes to standards. Please check the current standards (http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owastand.display_standard_group?p_toc_level=1&p_part_number=1926) prior to using these documents for training. Many of the addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, references, and publication numbers may also have changed. You may also want to check these resources for more information on OSHA-related topics.
NOTE: The cases here described were selected as being representative of fatalities caused by improper work practices. No special emphasis or priority is implied nor is the case necessarily a recent occurrence. The legal aspects of the incidents have been resolved, and the cases are now closed.
