In this paper we study the evolution of accidents at the workplace in the last few years in Spain. We pay special attention to methodological problems constructing Incidence Indexes that shows the relationship between "industrial accident" and "population exposed at danger". The main problem is to get, using statistical sources, a quantity that measures the number of workers who can have an accident at the workplace. The main interest of this study is the "industrial accident" that causes "to be off sick", calculating general incidence indexes and incidence indexes for the main business sectors: agriculture, industry, building and services.
