This study aims to analyze the occurrence of work accidents in Brazil with the elderly from the secondary data of the Ministry of Social Security and submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analyzes. The results indicate a tendency to increase the number of accidents with older workers compared to the other workers, indicating the need for further studies and adoption of more appropriate protection policies for these workers.
