Factors causing electric shock accidents

As soon as it rains, various accidents begin to increase, such as traffic accidents and accidental electric shock accidents. Electric shock accidents have become more and more common. In fact, electric shock accidents are avoidable in many cases, but people may not pay attention to certain problems, leading to electric shock. What are the factors that cause electric shock accidents? People can better understand the factors that lead to electric shock accidents so as to avoid such situations from happening again.

a. Electric shock accidents have obvious seasonality. There are many electric shock accidents in the second and third quarters every year, especially from June to September, when accidents are most concentrated. The main reason is that the weather is hot during this period, people wear light clothes and sweat a lot, so the risk of electric shock is greater. Also, it is rainy and humid during this period, which increases the conductivity of the ground, easily forming an electric shock current loop, and the insulation resistance of electrical equipment is reduced, which is prone to leakage. This period is the busy farming season in most rural areas, and electricity consumption increases, resulting in an increase in electric shock accidents. b. Low-voltage electric shock accidents are far more common than high-voltage electric shock accidents. The main reason is that low-voltage equipment is what people come into contact with on a daily basis, and many of the workers who come into contact with it lack common sense of electrical safety.
