2009 accident summary online
Published: 09.02.2010
For a number of years Energy Safety has published an annual summary of notifiable electrical and gas accidents.
To improve the usefulness of this information we are now moving to producing online reports at more regular intervals.
The reports will now be published quarterly on the Energy Safety website, with notification of their publication being made through Business Updates. Trend analysis will continue to be published on an annual basis for each calendar year.
Only completed investigations will be reported in each quarter, regardless of the date of the accident. As a consequence, some accidents that have been published in the 2008 annual report will also appear in the 2009 quarterly reports. This will apply to accidents that occurred in 2008, but for which the investigation was completed in 2009.
From 1 January 2009 responsibility for investigating workplace electrical and gas related accidents transferred to the Department of Labour, therefore information on such events is no longer included in the Energy Safety reports or trends analysis.
