Preface
Data for the 1978 Employee injury Experience Of the Electric Utility Industry were obtained from statistical reports sifomitted b y 128 electric utility companies.
The 128 com panies reporting in 1978 were 58 less than the 186 com panies reporting In 1977. Thetotal number of employees, the hours of exposure e nd the number of fatalities were lower in 1978 than In 1977.
The Accident DcriaSubcommittee oftheSdety and Industrial Health Committee Is reviewing the reporting procedures with member companies. This woric is .being done to provide a reportingmethod which will solicit accurate employee Injury d a ta
The data stomitted for each com pany and not printed h the booklet Includes the total lost day oases, the days of restricted work activity and the ferminaiions or permanent fransfins.
Ratherthan com paring theseverityrate between years, a s was done Inthe past. ' a com patson is shown of the incidence rata an d the fatality Incidence rate of the 1977 and 1978 reporting companies. The Incidence rote was calculated by
using the formula oftotal oasesor fatalitiestimes (x)2OOXJ0O. divided b y thetotal ntmnber of man-hours worked. This method is in com pliance with the OSHA reporting system.
Itis emphasized thatthispUrtioahan cannotrelateIheentire Industry's employee injury experience. The number of com panies reporting data has been steodjiy jdecreaslng cver.the past y e a v A total industry picture cannot b e illustrated by reports from 128 electric utility companies.
W b resbess the fa d that no price c a n b e p laced upon a h u rru i Bfe -crippling accident:;A zero accident rate is a goal weB worth pursuing.
