There are many studies which have shown that employees working pressure is an important factor in causing work-related injuries, which include staff physical damage, psychological damage and performance. Every staff member has responsibilities in their work, but it is very different to each member concept of work and workload. It is related to the ability, attitude, trait, and psychological factors. Employees with higher working pressure may cause burnout, and staff may be leave work or decrease the work performance. In high-risk environments, other job demands—including exposure to hazardous materials, cognitively challenging work, or physically demanding work—are also present, and these job demands may lead to an entirely different set of outcomes for employees, such as workplace accidents, injuries, and fatalities. Therefore, the leader or manager should know employees work in a variety of workplace needs, provide timely help, care and support, it is the so-called transformational leadership. The leader or manager should provide appropriate or adequate work resources, such as job autonomy, positive working atmosphere, and the support of colleagues. It may reduce job demands, employee-related physiological and psychological costs, and promote staff’s personal growth, learning and development. However, the employees working attitude, personality traits also affect their job performance, commitment workload, job involvement, job burnout. These job-related injury which is related to the issue of safety at work would like to confirm. Therefore, this study was to investigate the correlation in work injuries and employees between personality traits, transformational leadership, job burnout, job engagement. Then the role of safety climate and the role of work-related injuries is discussed. After collecting 277 valid questionnaires number of samples, the results show that our hypothesis is supported. The job burnout and work injuries have positive effects, and the higher employee engagement results on work injuries has a positive effect. Five personality traits include extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, personality and burnout have negative effects, but burnout among neuroticism have a positive effect. Transformational leadership and burnout has negative effects. Transformational leadership and engagement has a positive effect. There is mediating effect on work-related injuries with whose Job Burnout and Job Involvement on neurotic personality, but it is not effect on other personality traits. There is mediating effect on work-related injuries with transformational leadership. However, the result was not supported with the organization's safety climate on job burnout and engagement with work injuries which have a moderating effect.
