to analyze the distribution of cases of viral hepatitis due to occupational accidents in Brazil from 2007 to 2014. Methods: this is an ecological study of a descriptive nature of notifications of viral hepatitis registered in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases. Results: they point out that the mean incidence of viral hepatitis due to occupational accidents in Brazil was 2 cases/1,000,000 of the economically active and employed population. There was an increasing trend in the Midwest region (p=0.02), among women (p=0.01) and those aged 38 to 49 years and 50 and older (p=0.01). The decreasing time trend was observed among those up to 37 years old and for non-black race/skin color (p=0.04). Conclusion: the temporal distribution was stationary in most regions and states in Brazil, increasing among female workers over 38 years old and decreasing among non-black women and under 37 years old.
