Statistics and law analysis of personal safety accidents of power grid enterprises in China from 2014 to 2024.

To objectively analyze the patterns and characteristics of personal safety incidents in China’s power grid enterprises, the study examines the patterns of personal safety incidents in power grid companies from 2014 to 2024, focusing on accident types, spatial distribution, temporal distribution, professional fields, and causative factors.The results indicate that from 2014 to 2024, the overall trends in the number of personal safety incidents and fatalities in power grid enterprises remained stable. However, there is a slight rebound in the occurrence of major incidents. The primary types of accidents involve electric shocks, falls from heights, and injuries caused by falling objects. Guangxi, Yunnan, and Inner Mongolia are identified as provinces with a high frequency of personal safety accidents, while Jiangxi, Liaoning, and Henan exhibit relatively high fatality rates. Compared to other regions, the South China region demonstrates a higher incidence of personal safety accidents, whereas the Central China region records the highest fatality rate.April and May are peak months for accidents each year, with high-risk periods occurring daily from 9:00 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 16:00. The frequency of accidents in the field of power production is significantly higher than in power construction, with incident counts 18.4% higher and fatalities 3.37% higher. Unsafe human behaviors and management deficiencies are the primary causes of accidents. Notably, management deficiencies are more likely to contribute to the occurrence of unsafe behaviors.
