Analysis of EFCOG Electrical Safety Charts for March 2010

An increased baseline average and control limits have been calculated for the DOE 08A Electrical Shocks reports due to the previously noted increasing trend.

Electrical Shocks and Near Misses 08J across DOE are now seven months in a row above average, a significant increasing trend.

SC Program Office charts are stable. 

NA Program Office Electrical Events and 08J Near Misses appear to be stable.  NA Program Office 08A Electrical Shocks have been elevated since October 2009 and will have a new baseline average and control limits calculated if the data stabilize at this higher level. 

EM Program Office Electrical Events is one month away from an increasing trend.  The past three months have been one standard deviation above average. 

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, but March did return to zero.

All other charts are stable on their current baselines.

Causes A3B1C03 – “Incorrect performance due to mental lapse” and A4B1C01 – “Management policy guidance / expectations not well-defined, understood or enforced” are now the top two leading causes of Electrical Near Misses over the past 12 months.
