Abstract

The accident at work is a phenomenon which unpredictably interrupt the work processes, causing unscheduled effects on economic activity. The events of this nature produced within the organizations will affect every element of it, and the system as a whole. No company and no national economy cannot afford to eliminate or lessen, at once, all risks of injury and occupational disesses, because they would not have sufficient resources to resume the production cycle, the one that makes the organization survive. Diminishing human capital, time loss, damage or destruction of fixed capital is negatively reflected in quantifiable decreasing of economic-financial performance which have important implications for the economy.
