abstract = {Objective: To identify the profile of victims of road accidents with involvement of motorcycles among workers of a textile industry in the Rio Grande do Norte State. Method: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study, with data collected from medical records and registrations from the company itself in the period from 2008 to 2009. Results: It has unveiled 81 cases of accidents with workers involving motorcycles, of which 62% were males, with higher incidence between 22 and 25 years; 69% needed removal equal to or less than 15 days; when the removal time was greater than 15 days, the average was 274,3 days; 71% suffered injuries on the lower and upper limbs. Conclusion: The recognition of these characteristics is useful to subsidize strategies for preventing motorcycle accidents and improving the reference emergency service.},
