Analysis of EFCOG Electrical Safety Charts for February 2010

Although January 2010 dropped back below average for 08A Electrical Shocks across DOE, February 2010 came in at another elevated level with four reports.  It does appear that the increasing trend in 08A Electrical Shocks is continuing.

Electrical Shocks and Near Misses 08J across DOE are now six months in a row above average, one month from an increasing trend.

SC Program Office charts are stable.  Electrical Near Miss (08J) did come in close to the UCL in November, and another month similar to this in January will cause a trend to be declared.

NA Program Office charts returned to below baseline for January.  Previously noted trends and developing trends appear to have ended.

EM Program Office 08J Electrical Near Miss Chart continues to have an increasing trend, with more than four of five months have been one standard deviation above average.  In the past six months there have been eleven events, as compared to only four reports in the previous eleven months.

EM Program Office 08A Electrical Shocks for February was above the UCL with three reports.

All other charts are stable on their current baselines.

Causes A3B2C05 – “Situation incorrectly identified or represented resulting in wrong rule used”, A4B1C01 – “Management policy guidance / expectations not well-defined, understood or enforced” and A4B3C11 – “Inadequate work package preparation” are now tied as the leading cause of Electrical Near Misses.
