This study investigates the impact of personality traits on safety participation and compliance among workers in the Niger Delta Region. The methodology adopted utilize the use of questionnaires in obtaining the personality traits and safety behaviour measures of worker in the industry. Three hundred and eighty four (384) workers in the oil and gas industry operating in the Niger Delta were sampled. Correlation and Structural Equation Modeling via path analysis was used to establish the relationship between the personality trait and safety behaviour. The results reveal that Openness and Conscientiousness were prevalent traits among these workers, indicating their intellectual curiosity, problem-solving abilities, organization, and dependability. Neuroticism, on the other hand, was less common among the workers. Path analysis and correlation analysis demonstrate the significant impact of personality traits such as Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness on safety participation and compliance. Conscientiousness and Agreeableness positively influence safety behaviour, as individuals with these traits tend to adhere to safety protocols and regulations, reducing the risk of accidents. Conversely, high levels of Neuroticism lead to negative safety behavior due to impaired decision-making and increased distractions, posing a higher risk of accidents. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding and leveraging personality traits to enhance safety measures in the oil and gas industry.
