Abstract

Recent accidental fatal electrocutions in Japan show a plateau trend, although overall, the trend is decreasing. There were 15 fatal electrical accidents in 2012, five in 2013, and 15 in 2014. The total number of electrical fatalities in Japan will exceed 8,000 in 1959–2040. Thus, it is necessary to consider certain further preventive measures to save the valuable lives of workers. However, the thorough prevention of accidental fatal electric shocks is not a trivial matter. The main reason is that there are 60 million workers in all industries, including 15 million in the construction and manufacturing industries. The construction and electrical construction industries account for approximately 60% of the fatal electrical accidents in all industries. Similar fatal electrical accidents occur every year. Thus, there is a large number of workers, and designing thorough preventive measures is not easy. Therefore, a new approach for measures to prevent fatal electrical accidents is required. In this study, a detailed analysis of recent fatal electrical accidents is performed, considering case studies from 2012 to 2014. The goal of this study is to save the valuable lives of workers by preventing fatal electrical fatal accidents.

2012-2014年日本触电死亡率和流行病学

日本最近的意外致死电刑呈平稳趋势，尽管总体上呈下降趋势。2012年有15起致命的电气事故，2013年有5起，2014年有15起。1959年至2040年间，日本电气事故死亡总人数将超过8000人。因此，有必要考虑采取进一步的预防措施，以挽救工人宝贵的生命。然而，彻底预防意外的致命电击并不是一件小事。主要原因是所有行业有6000万工人，其中建筑业和制造业有1500万工人。在所有行业中，建筑和电气行业的致命电气事故约占60%。类似的致命电气事故每年都会发生。因此，工人人数众多，设计彻底的预防措施并不容易。因此，需要采取新的措施来防止致命的电气事故。在本研究中，考虑到2012年至2014年的案例研究，对最近致命的电气事故进行了详细分析。本研究的目的是通过防止致命的电气致命事故来挽救工人的宝贵生命。
