Accident Study / Accident Rate Study

This may be one of those words that does not have a perfect translation. My suggestions should get the point across, depending on the larger context. You should take a look at the body of the study to select the appropriate term. Good luck!

Perhaps, but I was suggesting more context. It is difficult to be very sure without more context, as I mentioned. How about "propensity" instead of "proneness" for your take on it?

a study of the rate of accidents / of the accident frequency

This is the definition in the RAE dictionary:

accidentabilidad.

1. f. Frecuencia o índice de accidentes.

www.rae.es

Here the term accident frequency appears as a similar concept:

The accident frequency categorization is the safety work product that categorizes:

Accidents in terms of the maximum frequency that they may occur.
Hazards in terms of the maximum frequency that they may cause an accident to occur.

Another option might be "[a study on the] likelihood of accidents [occurring in the workplace]"

And "accident proness" might be yet another option. :-)
