Occupational hazard formats (ST-5) in the archives of the Health Informa-tion Division from the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) were reviewed with the purpose of evaluating trends in these figures and estab-lishing comparisons between them.

This figure is broken down as follows: 137 923 work-related accidents; 36 864 commuting accidents; 711 occupa-tional disease incidents, and 362 deaths during these years. 2012, presented the highest number of hand and wrist injuries with a total of 5 470.
