Mental errors caused by anxiety, attitude, fear, stress, personality, or emotional state can cause accidents. To prevent workplace accidents, understanding the workers’ personality that reflect the pattern of psychological characteristics, thought, emotion and behavior is important. Personality is a basic human characteristic that is influenced by the social and cultural environment called socio-cognitive. A safety culture approach to the reducing accidents emphasizes the role of social forces in organizations regarding safety. This study aims to determine the relationship of personality, social cognitive, and safety culture to workplace accidents in the chemical company. The data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 73 workers, including the production area and the field workers in a chemical factory. The data is statistically tested by using PLS-SEM. The PLS-SEM used to determine the relationship between personality traits and safety culture (H1), the relationship between social cognitive and safety culture (H2), and the relationship between social cognitive and personality traits (H3) in chemical company. The test results show that the three hypotheses were accepted. This lead to the conclusions that personality traits have a positive relation to the safety culture; social cognitive have a positive relation to safety culture; and social cognitive have a positive relation to personality traits. In conclusion, personality traits, social cognitive, and safety culture are interrelated.
