Abstract:	According to estimations from the International Labor Organization, about 6,400 workers lose their lives daily in work-related accidents around the world, over 313 million workers are annually incapacitated for work and approximately 860,000 suffer bodily injuries at the work place. In this respect, Romania is on a descending trend from 508 work accidents in 2008, down to 185 in 2014. In 2014-2015 we conducted a retrospective study on work accidents recorded in Arad County during the 2010-2013 timeframe, using materials provided by the Arad Territorial Labor Inspectorate. In conducting this study we sought to determine the annual number of workplace accidents over that period; the number of accidents resulting in death; the index of frequency for the total number of accident victims and accidents resulting in death calculated for one thousand workers; causes of work accidents; consequences of work accidents; time and place of occurrence work accidents; the status of the person suffering a workplace accident; measures required to prevent work accidents according to the law of health and security in labor.The systematic presentation of obtained results and consequences in tables and graphics; the analysis of circumstances in which the workplace accidents occurred; conclusions and measures regarding the avoidance of work accidents reinforce the firm conviction that it is necessary to reconsider the labor safety criterion through continuous education, sound acquisition and application of safety measures and norms specific to each profession, which must prevail over the economic criterion.
