Child injuries in the structure of morbidity and mortality among schoolchildren occupies a prominent place. That is why the study of factors influencing the level of school injuries is one of the urgent tasks of education. This problem is related to the psychological characteristics of adolescent students and personal factors in the formation of the risk group of school injuries. The article analyzes the psychological characteristics of students most prone to injuries, comparative characteristics of personal factors of injured and uninjured children. It was found that adolescence in the cycle of child development is often called critical, due, on the one hand, qualitative changes in interests, relationships, previously formed features of the child, and on the other – the emergence of subjective difficulties, changes in behavioral responses to existing social and household stereotypes. That is, there are changes in personality traits, which are a number of interrelated psychological traits. The ability of personality traits to influence school traumatism was established by testing traumatized children according to an adapted and modified 12-factor questionnaire by R. Kettel. The specified methodology for determining the psychological portrait made it possible to correctly understand the structure and functions of the personality and the characteristics of the social environment, its influence on the formation of the individual. The results of the study showed that when determining risk groups, it is necessary to take into account personal factors: D (increased excitability, overactivity), F (carelessness, risk-taking), O (high level of anxiety), Q4 (nervous tension, frustration). Further research on this problem can be carried out in the development of methods, pedagogical principles, methods and conditions of preventive measures in groups of children at increased risk of injury
