abstract="INTRODUCTION: The Richard-Toll social security fund agency ranks second in terms of declaration of work accidents (WA) in Senegal. In view of this and in the absence of a study that is interested in this subject, we initiated this work, the aim of which was to study these WA declared in the said agency. <br><br>METHODOLOGY: This was a retrospective and descriptive study carried out from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The parameters studied were the socio-professional information of the victims and the characteristics of the accidents. <br><br>RESULTS: A total of 1,071 workplace accidents were recorded. The average age of the victims was 37.1 years old. Agricultural workers and laborers were more concerned (95.5%). Site accidents accounted for 95% of cases. Lesions were mainly wounds (83.3%) and were benign in 98.2% of cases. The machete was incriminated in 48.5% of cases. Accidents occurred while cutting sugar cane in 81% of cases. The Senegalese sugar company was the main reporter (99%) and 84.4% of accidents were recorded periodically from December to May. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Work accidents are a reality in the Senegalese sugar company. Studies are urgently needed to better understand this issue. The purpose was to strengthen pre-existing prevention programs.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
