About 0.25 percent of all registered industrial accidents are caused by electric current. One in 20 of these accidents has been fatal. The consequences of electric flow are determined by several factors, above all voltage, time and path of flow, type of current, and resistors within the power circuit. These are attributable to physiological criteria of conduction. Slight electric shock and death by ventricular fibrillation are close to each other by the all-or-nothing law. Conclusions are suggested for practice, and a discussion is proposed with a view to find an adequate definition of the power-related accident.
在所有已登记的工业事故中，约0.25%是由电流引起的。其中每20起事故就有1起是致命的。电流的后果取决于几个因素，首先是电压、时间和电流路径、电流类型以及电源电路中的电阻。这些都归因于传导的生理标准。轻微电击和心室颤动导致的死亡根据全或无定律相差不大。文中提出了实践建议，并展开讨论以寻求对与电力相关事故的适当定义。
