I am researching non-occupational injuries to members of the public due to electricity networks in New Zealand. Do any members have any data they can share to help with comparisons of statistics or analyses? Of special value will be any case studies using root cause analysis ot similar techniques. Some background information Networks in urban NZ are often above ground lines on power poles in the public footpath alongside the road but in newer areas they may be buried in land between the edge of the footpath and the boundary of houses. In commercial and industrial areas, above ground lines seem to predominate. In rural areas, high voltage lines may cross fields and other open spaces. Published data shows that in the last 16 years there have been 40 fatal accidents affecting the general public. Of these, 25 involved the 230 volt system and 15 the 11kv system. However, it is not yet clear to me how many involved network assets as opposed to privately owned assets. My interest is in network assets. Any help or suggestions welcome Chris Peace, Wellington, NZ
