Abstract
If the present frequency of electrical accidents at work continues throughout the 1990s, there are likely to be nearly 300 electrical fatalities in the decade. The article suggests that any further improvement in the initial integrity of electrical equipment will not have a major impact on the figures. Statistics suggest that significant reductions in the number of fatalities are only likely to be achieved by effective maintenance and better working practices, and that education and training have an important part to play.Keywords
