One specific tool will be used to collect data, composed by: identification of the worker, type of accident, severity of the accident, procedure realized and the prospective billings. The period of the study is from January to December, 2014. To collect of data, we shall use a stratified sample, selected randomly between the workers that suffered occupational accidents in this period, considering the severity ratings. This accounted 179 cases for each severity class: light and moderate. The data will be collected through the municipal information system, SIVAT, DATASUS-SIASUS-SIH databases and using the number of Occupational Accident Attendance Registration (OAAR).
