摘要

接触或暴露于电仍然是美国工作场所伤亡事故的主要原因之一。2011 年至 2021 年期间，职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）共收到 1201 起工作场所涉电死亡事故报告，占所有工作场所死亡事故的 6%。在此期间，与电有关的死亡事故中有 69% 发生在与电无关的职业中。此外，自 2011 年以来，电气死亡事故的数量并未显著下降。本文回顾了在此期间向美国职业安全与健康管理局报告的每一起电气事故，以找出致命电气事故的共同点，确定工程控制或行为改变是否可以避免伤害，并提出可以在工作场所和培训方面做出的改变，以减少美国电气相关伤害的数量。

Why Do Electrical Fatalities Occur on the Job?: Understanding the Human Factor of a Fatality

Contact with or exposure to electricity continues to be one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities and injuries in the United States. Between 2011 and 2021, there was a total of 1,201 workplace fatalities involving electricity reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), accounting for 6% of all workplace deaths. During this period, 69% of all electrically related fatalities happened in nonelectrically related occupations. Further, there has not been a significant decrease in the number of electrical fatalities since 2011. This article reviews each electrical incident reported to OSHA during this period to find the commonalities in fatal electrical incidents, determine if engineering controls or behavioral changes could have avoided the injury, and propose changes that can be made in the workplace and training to reduce the number of electrically related injuries in the United States.
