Description
Summary:The present project aims to propose strategies to reduce accidents and deaths due to electrical risks in the department of Atlántico. To achieve this, information was collected and analyzed from specialized databases and statistics from entities such as the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, the Open Data platform regulated by the Superintendence of Public Utility Services, and current regulations, including the Technical Regulation for Electrical Installations. The study identified the main electrical risk factors in residential installations, confirming that direct and indirect contact are the most common causes of accidents. It was highlighted that the Atlántico Department registers the highest number of cases related to electrical risk compared to other departments in Colombia. In collaboration with the Corporation Center for Innovation and Technological Development of the Electrical Sector, 10 neighborhoods located between Barranquilla and Soledad were characterized, where most of the cases associated with electrical risk were recorded. Finally, various strategies were implemented, such as dramatizations illustrating the consequences of mishandling electrical installations, reaching 4,500 people; family schools with participation from over 300 individuals; graffiti art with 340 attendees; activities in various media outlets resulting in 7,830 seconds of radio airtime, 340,000 publications in local newspapers, 117 hours of loudspeaker announcements, more than 990 posters displayed, and a total of 115,000 spectators. Merchandising involved the distribution of over 2,900 incentives, a project landing webpage received approximately 1,700 visits, and awareness messages were included on electricity bills from the company A-IRE. Additionally, the following recommendations were made: develop strategies for continuous monitoring of accident indicators, implement regulations promoting periodic inspections to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards, continue research in areas related to electrical risk in households, and offer incentives to those who adopt safe practices in handling electricity. These measures aim to increase awareness about the inherent dangers of using electricity and promote safety in daily life.
