Abstract (English): Background: Occupational hazards represent high costs as they have negative consequences not only on the worker who suffers an injury, but also on his or her environment and the employer. Objective: To carry out an analysis on the characterization of occupational accidents associated with the activity or workplace, commuting accidents and occupational diseases, suffered by beneficiaries of the Mexican Social Security Institute registered during the year 2024. Material and methods: Descriptive design, cross-sectional with a quantitative approach. The data were obtained through the consultation of the 2024 statistical report generated by the Mexican Social Security Institute. Results: Of the occupational risks that occurred in 2024, 69% were work accidents, 28% commuting accidents and 3% occupational diseases. Of these, 61% of the risks occurred in men and 39% in women. The age group with the highest frequency of occupational risks was 25 to 29 years old. The most frequent injuries resulting from these accidents were superficial trauma (114,606) and the most frequent occupational diseases were dorsopathies (2940). Conclusions: Knowing the characteristics of occupational risks in Mexican workers will facilitate the appropriate focus of efforts for their prevention and therefore the reduction of costs derived from these risks.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: los riesgos de trabajo representan elevados costos, ya que tienen consecuencias negativas no solo para el trabajador que sufre una lesión, sino también para su entorno, el empleador y los sistemas de salud. Objetivo: realizar un análisis sobre la caracterización de los accidentes laborales asociados a la actividad o lugar de trabajo, los accidentes de trayecto y las enfermedades ocupacionales sufridos por derechohabientes del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) registrados durante el año 2024. Material y métodos: diseño descriptivo y transversal, con enfoque cuantitativo. Los datos fueron obtenidos mediante la consulta de la Memoria Estadística 2024 generada por el IMSS. Resultados: de los riesgos laborales ocurridos en 2024, el 69% correspondió a accidentes de trabajo, el 28% a accidentes de trayecto y el 3% a enfermedades ocupacionales. De estos, el 61% se presentó en hombres y el 39% en mujeres. El grupo etario con mayor frecuencia de riesgos de trabajo fue el de 25 a 29 años. Las lesiones derivadas de estos accidentes con mayor frecuencia fueron los traumatismos superficiales (114,606) y, entre las enfermedades ocupacionales, las de mayor prevalencia fueron las dorsopatías (2940). Conclusiones: conocer las características de los riesgos laborales en trabajadores mexicanos facilitará enfocar adecuadamente los esfuerzos para su prevención y, por lo tanto, la reducción de los costos derivados de dichos riesgos.
