Proxxi’s November Newsletter - 2021
Are you as data-driven as we are? This month's newsletter focuses on the statistics around injuries, both electrical and non-electrical.
Electrical Danger - Shock vs Arc Flash
In the safety industry, we all know that electrical risks are an ever-present element of an electrical worker’s daily activities. In recent years, the regulations and safety technology have focused on addressing the dangers of arc flashes.
Both arch flashes and shock can cause injury, or even death. However, when you look at the data, electric shock poses a much more statistically significant risk. So why do we hear about arc flash so much more frequently?
Workplace Injuries and Fatalities: Statistics for Demographics, Timing, and Industries
Workplace injuries are something that we all strive to eliminate. Over the years, as regulations have been put in place, technological improvements have been made, and attitudes have changed, there have been vast improvements in workplace safety. However, as injuries and fatalities continue to occur, we can review the when, where, and who to help us better prevent these incidents.
Workplace Accidents: Situational or Systemic?
In the workplace, EHS teams aim to improve safety outcomes and decrease the likelihood of workplace accidents. In some organizations, these efforts focus on the individual, citing the specific situation as the cause of an incident. However, although accidents are relatively rare, near misses are much less so. The absence of an accident does not always indicate an absence of risk. When you combine both near misses and accidents, similarities can be found, and more systemic causes can be identified.
The Risk of Perceived Risk - Part 2: Perceived Risk and Workplace Safety
Perceived risk can be highly inaccurate, as it is influenced by factors such as risk tolerance and risk normalisation. This inaccuracy of perceived risk can have huge trickle-down effects on workplace safety: from which risks are seen by management as a hazard, to likelihood of following safety procedures among workers.
