Objective: to evaluate the occupational accidents surveillance before/after the implementation of the Sentinela, according to attributes, 2018-2021, and propose recommendations. Methods: Descriptive research of secondary data, analyzing the attributes of data quality (completeness and consistency), timeliness and representativeness. Results: After Sentinela, there was an increase in the notification of accidents (66.16%), greater completeness of the variables, 'economic activity' (from 58.5% to 98.9%) and 'evolution' (from 64,3% to 96.3%), decreased blank fields/information missing, with emphasis on ‘evolution’ (from 35.7% to 3.7%) and improvement in the timeliness to report fatal accidents (from 119 to 79 days). The system is representative. Conclusion: Surveillance of occupational accidents has excellent data quality, is untimely and representative. Sentinela has increased system sensitivity and data quality. It is necessary to routinely assess the attributes and carry out actions to improve the timeliness, aiming to reduce the risks to workers' health.
