Sumario:The industrial safety in the last decade, has been subject of countless discussions under the framework of labour protection and its implications on the performance of the productive worker, and hence of the company, the outcome of these discussions generated a series of mechanisms that support the decline in accidents at work, as are the strengthening of the Occupational Health Programs-PSO, through periodic review of the occupational hazards of the company, incentives towards quality management of each of its processes, training without distinction Hierarchical, among others. In This article is presented from an economic perspective, a descriptive and empirical analysis of the labour accident, which has become the first casualty occupational nationally and even regional, which alarm about the effectiveness of the mechanisms above. The purpose of the study is to establish the main factors involved in the occurrence of these events sudden and unexpected so-called "accident", and the impact they generate in labour productivity of member firms of the National Association of Employers, ANDI. The research was conducted taking into account the analysis of variance – Anova-, and Analysis of Covariance – Ancova -, in order to make an assessment not only of quantitative variables, but also the impact generated by qualitative variable on the behavior of the final model; equally how were classified into two groups: Quality variable factors that respond to organizational management in industrial safety and structural variables covering aspects of running the company; stressed that the accident rate in the affiliated companies basically responds to factors at work, off a bit on the assumption that industrial accidents occur in these companies largely by human error (personal factors).Key Words: Labor accident, Labor Productivity, industrial security, risk factor, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), Index of accident.
