STATISTICAL SURVEY OF ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS ON ITALIAN STATE RAILROADS IN THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD 1970-1972 AND PREVENTION MEASURES

INDAGINE STATISTICA SUGLI INFORTUNI ELETTRICI OCCORSI NELL'AZIENDA F.S. NEL TRIENNIO 1970-72 E SPUNTI DI PREVENZIONE

A statistical survey has been carried out regarding electrical accidents occurring on the F. S. (Italian State Railroads) in the three-year period 1970-72. In order to obtain the data, use was made of the report of accidents which FS compiles for each case. From the 54,000 accident reports, 166 were taken regarding electrical accidents; these are characterized, in spite of the relatively low number, by a considerable gravity which justifies any form of study aimed at going deeper into the question in order to implement efficient measures of prevention. The study is completed with some indications for the prevention of electrical accidents.
