| Abstract |
Analysis of 4,416 electrical accidents occurring over 4.5 years in plants of these 2 industrial sectors in the Federal Republic of Germany. The first part of this work gives the breakdown of accidents by insurance institution, industry and plant, details concerning the injured person and plant concerned, type of accident, type of equipment, type of work and cause of accident. Another part, equally important, is devoted to a systematic evaluation of accident "black spots" and the effects of electric current (electrically-powered tools, lamps, apparatus with electric motors, machinery and plant, equipment and installations). Electrical apparatus (tools, heating applicances, lights) rank first as accident black spot (68%), followed by electrical equipment of production machinery and plant. Improved safety measures are proposed. |
