DOE Complex Electrical Event Charts

March 2008

Analysis of EFCOG Electrical Safety Charts for March 2008

March 2008 was a very good month, with a total of only five electrical events across the DOE complex.  There were no 08J Electrical Near Misses, and only one 08A Electrical Shock.  These are the lowest levels since December 2006.

There were zero 08J Electrical Near Misses for EM in March.  It appears that the rate for this chart has dropped back to the baseline of less than one per month, recovering from the spike of four reports in January.  There have been no 08A Electrical Shocks for EM since the spike of three reports in January.  Overall, EM appears to have returned to the improved baselines that existed prior to January 2008.

The SC chart for total Electrical Events demonstrates a significant improving trend, with the past seven months below the baseline average.

“A4B1C01 - Management policy guidance / expectations not well-defined, understood or enforced” remains in first place as the leading cause of 08J electrical near misses over the past 12 months.
