| Summary, etc. | Construction-related injuries remain a pressing issue in Ilocos Norte, as <br/>highlighted by recent fatalities and injuries due to various hazards, including collapses <br/>and electrocutions. This study investigates the utilization of Personal Protective <br/>Equipment (PPE) among construction workers in Ilocos Norte and aims to develop a <br/>Safety-Offense Point System (SOPS) to enhance safety practices. The research focuses <br/>on four main objectives: determining the use of task-specific PPE, analyzing the <br/>frequency and severity of construction accidents, examining the correlation between <br/>PPE usage and accident rates, and creating a SOPS tailored to specific hazards.<br/>Data were collected using a snowball sampling technique, involving face-toface interviews with construction workers employed by PCAB-accredited contractors. <br/>Quantitative methods, including checklists and rating scales, were utilized for data <br/>collection, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS to determine correlations. <br/>The findings revealed that PPE utilization among construction workers is generally <br/>low, with significant discrepancies across various construction activities. The study <br/>documented a higher frequency and severity of accidents among workers not wearing <br/>PPE, with disabling injuries being the most severe outcome when PPE was not used.<br/>A strong correlation was found between increased PPE usage and reduced <br/>prevalence and severity of accidents, underscoring the critical role of PPE in ensuring <br/>workplace safety. Based on these results, the study developed the Safety-Offense Point <br/>System (SOPS) to address non-compliance and promote a culture of safety. The SOPS <br/>aims to enforce responsibility among workers and companies by establishing explicit <br/>rules and consequences for safety violations. |
