Abstract: Occupational accidents that happen in the world of work have attracted, over time, the concern of how to implement preventive measures to avoid them. The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that 2 million people die worldwide each year from work-related causes. In Brazil, in the year 2022, there were 1,828 accidents involving electricity resulting in 592 deaths. A solution to improve this process is the use of available technology, especially with the modernization brought about by the so-called 4th Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, This article aims to present a bibliometric research, identifying the main publications, authors, universities, countries and keywords that address the applications of artificial intelligence in work safety, with a focus on accident prevention. Data were collected from the Web of Science database, using the keywords (“artificial intelligence”) AND (workplace OR “occupation health and safety” OR “accident prevention”). Data interpretation was carried out through performance analysis, based on WoS reports; and scientific mapping, using the VOSviewer software. 272 articles were found that were analyzed and composed the research. It was evident that the subject of artificial intelligence applied to work safety is still little explored, however, from 2020 onwards, there was a significant increase in scientific publications. As proposal for future studies, suggests conducting research using alternative keywords, as well as searching various databases to try to find new articles that address the topic.
