The report was based on information taken from investigative reports of fatal incidents involving workers who had entered confined spaces. As part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program, 70 incidents involving confined spaces were investigated. There were 109 deaths; multiple fatalities occurred in 25 of the confined space incidents, with some fatalities being rescue workers. A summary was presented for each confined space FACE investigated. Several types of confined spaces were discussed, including digesters, silos, pipelines, holding tanks, and manholes.
