Analysis of EFCOG Electrical Safety Charts for October 2009

The overall number of Electrical Events reports was close to the Upper Control Limit for September with 18 reports.  October did come in closer to baseline, with 13 reports, so this has not tripped the criteria for a trend. 

Electrical Shocks (08A) for All DOE have been above average for six months in a row.  If November has two or more 08A reports, this will be a significant increasing trend.

SC Program Office charts are stable.

NA Program Office 08A Electrical Shocks were close to the Upper Control Limit with two reports.  If November or December have two or more reports, this will be an increasing trend.  NA 08J Electrical Near Misses did have two reports in October, justifying generating a new baseline average from the previously noted increasing trend in early 2009.  The new baseline is 1.0 per month, up from the previous baseline of 0.6 per month.

EM Program Office 08A Electrical Shocks have been zero for the past two months, following the significant spike in August 2009.  Total Electrical Events and 08J Electrical Near Misses returned to near normal for October, following their nearly significant increases in September.

All other charts are stable on their current baselines.

A3B1C03 Incorrect performance due to mental lapse continues to be a leading cause of events for the past 12 months, although there are now six causes tied for the leading cause.
