Metal foundry, despite the progressing process of implementing new production technologies - still belongs to the fields characterized by a significant level of occupational risk. In metal foundries there is a significant concentration of harmful and arduous factors at many workplaces. The degree of work safety depends, among others, on the technology, raw materials and technical equipment used. The paper presents an analysis of the accident rate based on statistical data extended by own research and results obtained from the conducted expert interview. Based on the results obtained, the most important factors harmful to health were defined and an analysis of the causes of accidents at work in foundries was carried out. Ensuring adequate in terms of quality and safety is an important element of the management process not only in the purely human dimension but also in the economic dimension.
