ESFI, New Workplace Safety Data

New Workplace Safety Data: Workplace Electrical Fatalities and Injuries 2003 – 2019
Each year ESFI compiles yearly workplace electrical injury statistics based on data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and Survey of Occupational Injuries (SOII) to distill information specifically pertaining to fatal and nonfatal occupational electrical injuries. The most recent data covers the 26 years from 1992-2019 but mainly focuses on 2003-2019 data. Click here for more information.

Power Outages
Power outages can lead to more than just your lights going out. Forcing sensitive electronics to shutdown unexpectedly can result in data loss or damage to electrical systems. When power returns, a surge can damage TVs, appliances, and even heating and AC systems. Click here for more information.

Wrapping up the Holidays
Nearly half of home fires occur during the months of December, January, and February. Keep your home and family safe after the holidays by removing, inspecting, and storing all decorations by the first week of January. Learn more to keep yourself safe by clicking here.
