work accidents among speedboat crew members at SDF Port, Tarakan City. Methods: This research used quantitative
analysis with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained through questionnaires and direct interviews. This research
population is the speedboat crew at the Port of SDF Tarakan City; a total of 130 crew members were sampled using a
non-probability sampling technique with the accidental sampling method. This study used the Chi-Square test to perform
the statistical analyis. Results: As many as 64.6% of workers were involved in an accident, with the majority of them
slipping. In contrast, 85 workers (65.4%) have the incorrect work attitude. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a
significant relationship between work attitude and the risk of accidents among speedboat crews. The ship's management
