The image is invented.
The lesson is sourced.
Morbid Safety uses anonymous, non-graphic AI dramatizations to make documented workplace hazards easier to see. The visuals create attention; the official record controls the facts.
Show the hazard anonymously.
Teach the control.
Source standard
Primary records lead.
Case files begin with public investigation material from OSHA, NIOSH FACE, state FACE programs, or another authoritative source. FACE means Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation.
Say only what the record supports
Event details, contributing factors, and recommendations are paraphrased from the cited source. Every case includes a source ledger so readers can inspect the record directly.
Do not turn possibility into fact
If the initiating event was unwitnessed or investigators considered several explanations, the page preserves that uncertainty instead of selecting the most dramatic version.
AI visual standard
Anonymous means untraceable to a real person.
The site is faceless by design. Morbid Safety does not use the editor’s on-camera identity, recreate an actual victim’s face, or present AI imagery as documentary evidence.
The hazard pattern
- A comparable task or work environment
- The moment before exposure
- A non-graphic failure sequence
- Visible control gaps that support the lesson
No false reconstruction
- No actual victim or likeness
- No identified employer or workplace
- No invented injury detail
- No claim that the pictured scene is evidence
Identity standard
Teach the failure—not the identity.
Names, recognizable faces, employer branding, and precise workplace identities are omitted from Morbid Safety’s narrative unless they are essential to understanding the public record. Linked government reports may contain details that the case page intentionally leaves out.
Prevention standard
Controls before equipment.
The strongest available control is explained first. A case will not force a PPE or equipment recommendation when the source points to elimination, de-energization, guarding, a different work method, or an engineered system.
Measured and conditional
Equipment may “address the identified hazard” or “reduce risk when properly selected and used.” It is never described as guaranteed protection or as something that certainly would have saved a worker.
Exact links, flexible recommendations
Morbid Safety may add products as new hazards and tasks are covered. Each specific link must match the reviewed model and hardware configuration. Harness sizing remains wearer-specific.
Commerce standard
Credibility comes before commission.
Affiliate relationships, if activated, will be disclosed in plain language near the recommendation. Commission rate does not choose the product, alter the investigation, or move equipment ahead of the control.
Current manufacturer reference links are non-affiliate. Retailer applications and tracked links remain inactive.
Review standard
Correct the page when the record changes.
Case files and equipment guides are reviewed against their cited sources. Material factual corrections, changed product configurations, recalls, stop-use notices, or broken source links should be reflected in the page and source record rather than quietly ignored.
