DOE Complex Electrical Event Charts

October 2008

11/08/08

Analysis of EFCOG Electrical Safety Charts for October 2008

SC Program Office did achieve a decreasing trend (10 of 11 months below average) for 08J Electrical Near Miss.

NA Program Office decreasing trend for 08A Electrical Shocks continues.  A new set of average and control limits will be established when the data stabilize.

EM Program Office has been unstable over the past year on 08A Electrical Shocks.  There appear to be clumps of events with long runs of zeroes in between.  Two events have occurred in the past three months, following a significantly low period with only one event in 11 months.  Still, the overall rate is low (7 events since January 2007).  There may be an overall increasing trend developing in 08J Electrical Near Miss.  January 2008 had previously been above the UCL, and now there have been 14 reports in the past nine months, though October did come in at zero.  If November and December stay at baseline, it will be assumed that the January 2007 was an isolated spike.

All other charts are stable on their current baselines.

“A3B2C02 - Signs to stop were ignored and step performed incorrectly” has moved into first place as the leading cause of 08J electrical near misses over the past 12 months.
