Despite the many developments in the maritime sector in recent years, the number of accidents is still at a significantly high level. Beyond the accident analysis, which is defined as the reactive process, it is clear that more studies are needed in this sector, taking into account the personal traits of the employees and with the foresight that these traits may cause accidents. Statistically significant relationships were determined in this analysis, as a result of the five-factor personality inventory adapted into Turkish and the questionnaire covering the accidents (Occupational accident and marine casualty) on the ships of 156 leaders (Masters, chief engineers and chief officers). Participants who don't have an 'occupational accident' history have higher conscientiousness and agreeableness personality traits than those who have occupational accident history; when considered as facets, it was understood that they had a higher sense of duty, self-discipline, and ideas. In addition, relationships were determined between 'marine casualty' and personality traits only in the context of facets. It is seen that participants who don't have marine casualty history have higher gregariousness and lower values compared to those who have marine casualty history. Evaluations were made and some conclusions were reached with the understanding that the relationships identified in this study are similar to the results of the research conducted in this field of different sectors.
