| Abstract |
Reports of electrocution accidents involving contact between machines and powerlines were analysed to determine the type of equipment involved, the occupation of the workers affected, the severity of the accident, the part of the machine which came into contact with the powerline and the voltage of the powerline. Based on this analysis, some specific factors have been recognised which have helped to describe some typical accidents for each of six categories of equipment. The study can be used to define a priority for the prevention of this type of accident, including consideration of the technology of the machines involved. |
