Introduction: Accidents in chilhood are an important theme for Public Health due to what they represent and also to the repercussions for the childrens Health and their community. In this perspective, nursing, particularly in Latin America, has developed few initiatives focused on prevention strategies against domestic accidents; therefore, diagnostic studies are needed to identify this reality especially at home environment. Objective: To investigate the association between risk factors and occurrence of domestic accidents involving children under the age of five in a municipality in the countryside of northeastern Brazil. Method: Analytical, cross-sectional study, conducted with 330 caregivers by using a form for environmental observation as well as a socio-demographic questionnaire. Results: Accidents occurred at home in 97% of cases, with falls being the most common (88.2%). The logistic regression model showed that if there are more than four residents in the household, the probability of accidents increases by 2.9 times; the presence of stairs/steps with no handrail increases the chance by 14.9 times; exits and passageways that are blocked with toys, or other obstructive items, increase the risk by 11.3 times; cleaning products/insecticides stored in low places increases the number of accident by almost 16 times.
