This study aims to know the profile of cases of occupational burns in Brazil and regions, from 2015 to 2020. Retrospective, descriptive study with time series, based on accident data from the Statistical Yearbook of Occupational Accidents for Burns and Corrosions of the Ministry of Work and Social Security for the three-year periods 2015 to 2017 and 2018 to 2020. 92,418 accidents due to burns and corrosions were recorded in the period studied, 10 diagnoses of burns and corrosions were present among the 200 items of the International Code of Diseases plus incidents of accidents in all the years. There was a higher occurrence of the diagnosis of Burn and Corrosion of the Wrist and Hand (T23) (25.89%). The year 2018 had the highest incidence rate (4.79). The South region had the highest incidence rates in all years of the series and the North region the lowest. It was found that studies on occupational burns are limited and that they reinforce the need to strengthen labor policies and legislation.
