ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades Electrical safety in Europe

Here are those images I mentioned in the other thread..as they have more bearing here than there :

In the first table you will see the figures for the years 1992 to 2003 for all fatal accidents in Great Britain. In this instance, Great Britain being England, Scotland, Wales, The Isle of Man, The Channel Islands and the Scilly Isles, and encompasses an average population of 56,451,830 people for the 10 year period. Those highlighted in the Red bands are those deaths attributed to electrocution by direct contact. These figures do not include deaths on Railways and Power Transmission Systems.



In figure 2 below, we have the figures for all European States for the year ending December 31st 2003. The figures above each column is the average death rates for workers in member states per 1000 workers. These figures relate directly to construction sites only. Unfortunately I do not have the data yet in a similar fashion for electrocution deaths broken down by locality of incident. That should be available soon.
