abstract="This is a quantitative, descriptive, retrospective documental study on fatal accidents occurred during the period from o2006 to 2010, in which workers were treated at Hospital do Trabalhador, located in Curitiba/Parand. We selected 25 notifications for the outcome death. This study aimed to characterize victims and fatal occupational accidents. Fatal occupational accidents hit workers with a mean age of 35 years (SD = 13.0694), of the male sex, n = 23 (92%). Typical occupational accidents accounted for 52% (n = 13) of cases. One of the preventive measures proposed to reduce the number of fatal occupational accidents is the performance of educational and preventive work at the workplace by nurses. Moreover, it is necessary to rethink transit violence as a relevant factor for the cause of death of workers as well.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>",
