As mentioned above, safety in the industrial sense is a lack of accidents. Research has consistently shown that people who have the highest rates of accidents tend to be those who:
A) are risk takers (like adventure and dangerous pastimes, are likely to drive faster, or enjoy gambling), or;
B) have relatively short attention spans or an inability to focus on a task through to completion, or;
C) are left-handed, or;
D) are some combination of the above.
Unfortunately, I can't cite any studies directly on this (my industrial psychology days are WAY behind me), but those are the 3 main risk factors I recall being identified with higher rates of work-related accidents.
