This paper analyzes the severity of workplace accidents involving electricity in the Spanish construction sector comprising 2,776 accidents from 2003 to 2008.
The investigation considered the impact of 13 variables, classified into 5 categories: Personal, Business, Temporal, Material, and Spatial.
The findings showed that electrical accidents are almost five times more likely to have serious consequences than the average accident in the sector and it also showed how the variables of age, occupation, company size, length of service, preventive measures, time of day, days of absence, physical activity, material agent, type of injury, body part injured, accident location, and type of location are related to the severity of the electrical accidents under consideration.
The present situation makes it clear that greater effort needs to be made in training, monitoring, and signage to guarantee a safe working environment in relation to electrical hazards.
This research enables safety technicians, companies, and government officials to identify priorities and to design training strategies to minimize the serious consequences of electrical accidents for construction workers.
本文分析了西班牙建筑行业 2003 年至 2008 年间涉及电力的 2776 起事故中工作场所事故的严重程度。
该调查考虑了 13 个变量的影响，这些变量分为 5 类：个人、业务、时间、材料和空间。
研究结果表明，与该行业的平均事故相比，电力事故造成严重后果的可能性几乎高出五倍，还表明年龄、职业、公司规模、服务年限、预防措施、一天中的时间、缺勤天数、身体活动、物质代理、伤害类型、受伤身体部位、事故地点和地点类型等变量与所考虑的电力事故的严重程度之间的关系。
目前的情况清楚地表明，需要在培训、监测和标志方面加大力度，以保证与电气危害相关的安全工作环境。
本研究使安全技术人员、公司和政府官员能够确定优先事项，并设计培训策略，以尽量减少建筑工人电气事故的严重后果。
