每年约有1200个美国人死于触电事故,而其中约有700起是发生在工作过程中。根据美国安全工程师学会分析,几乎所有这些死亡都是可以预防的。“注意电气安全”已作为1989年美国安全工程学会安全周的部分宣传标题。美国安全工程师学会向雇主推荐以下步骤来确保工人的用电安全: 所有运行的部件和导线一定要有经批准的护栏加以保护,以免裸露部分引起触电。清晰地标明各种开关、面板、电路电流断路器和其它控制装置,以便向人们指示他所控制的是什么电路和设备。 About 1,200 Americans die each year from electric shocks, and about 700 of them are at work. According to the American Society of Safety Engineers, almost all of these deaths are preventable. “Attention to Electrical Safety” has been part of the promotional title for the 1989 American Society for Safety Engineering Safety Week. The American Society of Safety Engineers recommends the following steps to employers to ensure the safety of workers: All running parts and conductors must be protected by an approved guardrail to avoid exposing parts to electrical shock. Various switches, panels, circuit breakers and other controls are clearly marked to indicate to people what circuits and equipment they control.
