abstract = "The activity of urban solid waste collection is fundamental for the preservation of the public health. As the demand for waste collection increases, so does the number of professionals involved. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze the main causes of work-related accidents in the activity of urban solid waste collection. For this purpose, first was carried-out a literature review in CAPES, Scopus and Google Academics. Further-on, the data from two enterprises were analyzed. The results include 6 studies with 473 accidents and two enterprises with 756 and 189 accidents. The analysis shows that falls and sharp materials combined represent from 52% (enterprise A), 55% (enterprise B) to 70% (literature review) of all causes of accidents. Further studies should be conducted in order to give practical solutions for improving occupational safety and health of workers in the area.",
