People with an internal locus of control believe that they can control events and conditions and People with an external locus of control believe that events caused by factors such as chance, fate, environment and performance of other people. Therefore, to prevent accidents attention to the SLOC is very important. This study aimed to determine the SLOC and its related factors in employees of an industry.

Data Gathering was performed in a semi-supervised manner. Data analyzed with SPSS software (version20) using independent T tests, Pearson correlation and liner regression.

Results: The mean score of SLOC was 38.5±5.08 and was Larger than the mean intended to scale (µ=36) and was internal in the studied population. Chronic disease, smoking and Employment in second job have significant relationship with SLOC but other studied variables were not significantly associated with SLOC.
