Accident Summaries

The Energy Safety summary of reported electrical and gas accidents contains brief descriptions of Energy Safety investigations into electrically-caused serious injuries (shock or burn) and significant property damage caused by fire. It also lists notifiable and significant non-notifiable gas accidents reported to Energy Safety during each calendar year.

In order to determine trends, notifiable electrical injury accidents and notifiable and non-notifiable gas accident information collected since 1993 has also been analysed.
