NIOSH FACE Program: Wyoming Case Report 93WY011 | CDC/NIOSH
Through a reciprocal notification agreement with the Director of the Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Department of Employment, the WY-Wyoming FACE Project was notified on June 2, 1993 that a worker had died from an apparent heart attack. Investigators from OSHA would not conduct an investigation as it appeared to be from medical causes unrelated to OSHA's jurisdictional authority. Later discussions with area personnel and newspaper accounts called the death a heart attack. There was no known review of whether the stress of climbing onto the equipment and beginning the task was a contributing factor to the death. ... [Read More]
Wyoming FACE Report No. 93WY00801
The WY-Wyoming FACE Program became aware of this incident from a radio news story on the afternoon of its occurrence. Newspaper articles and electronic media coverage the next day confirmed the early findings and verified that the incident was occupational. At that point, the Project Coordinator initiated requests for reports from hospital, ambulance, coroner, and law enforcement officials, and travelled to the location for an on-site investigation. Evidence at the scene and reports from investigators show that the vehicles impacted with the front left bumper of the pickup protruding into the left front quarter panel of the victim's sedan. On impact, the rear of the victim's car rotated into the right front of the pickup and both vehicles came to rest in the southwest lane of travel. The victim had been working for the employer for about six weeks as a counselor/teacher. He was transporting four youths from a youth home to a nearby gym for a planned exercise to build self-esteem and ... [Read More]

Wyoming FACE Report No. 93WY00101
This incident could have been prevented by having two persons enter the building together to open the store for business. Since the only weapon available to the assailant was a close-range weapon a second person at the scene could have posed added threat to keep the assailant from attacking or, at the least, been available to call for emergency assistance if the attack was made. Newspaper accounts indicate that the victim was stabbed up to three hours prior to discovery of the incident. Businesses with a potential for robbery or assault should provide at least introductory, and preferably periodic, training to employees on how to handle confrontation with robbers. While the probability of being robbed is not as frequent as other aspects of work, it carries extreme risk. For the protection of employees, such businesses would be well served by making sure workers are prepared for potential violent attacks and understand how to avoid them. ... [Read More]
