Abstract
An Electrical Inspector from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigates many serious incidents and inspects a wide range of industrial and commercial premises. This experience gives rise to an insight into the types of incident that lead to serious injuries and death. Using this information it is possible to identify recurring types of incidents and assess them in a structured way. This will assist in managing the risks arising to prevent further serious incidents.
