问题：本文分析了2003年至2008年西班牙建筑业涉及电力的工作场所事故的严重程度，其中包括2,776起事故。方法：调查考虑了13个变量的影响，分为5类：个人，业务，时间，物质和空间。结果如下：调查结果显示，电气事故造成严重后果的可能性几乎是该行业平均事故的五倍，它还显示了年龄，职业，公司规模，服务年限，预防措施，一天中的时间，缺勤天数，体力活动，材料代理，受伤类型，身体部位受伤，事故地点，和地点的类型与所考虑的电力事故的严重程度有关。总结：目前的情况表明，需要在培训、监测和标志方面做出更大的努力，以保证与电气危险有关的安全工作环境。实际应用：这项研究使安全技术人员，公司和政府官员能够确定优先事项，并设计培训策略，以尽量减少电气事故对建筑工人的严重后果。(C)2013国家安全理事会和爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Problem: This paper analyzes the severity of workplace accidents involving electricity in the Spanish construction sector comprising 2,776 accidents from 2003 to 2008. Method: The investigation considered the impact of 13 variables, classified into 5 categories: Personal, Business, Temporal, Material, and Spatial. Results: The findings showed that electrical accidents are almost five times more likely to have serious consequences than the average accident in the sector and it also showed how the variables of age, occupation, company size, length of service, preventive measures, time of day, days of absence, physical activity, material agent, type of injury, body part injured, accident location, and type of location are related to the severity of the electrical accidents under consideration. Summary: The present situation makes it clear that greater effort needs to be made in training, monitoring, and signage to guarantee a safe working environment in relation to electrical hazards. Practical applications: This research enables safety technicians, companies, and government officials to identify priorities and to design training strategies to minimize the serious consequences of electrical accidents for construction workers.
