Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Implementation Practices Among Accommodation Establishments

Author:

Brian P. Focbit

Abstract:

The accommodation sector—including hotels, inns, motels, and pension houses—plays a vital role in the local economy. However, it also presents various workplace hazards, such as chemical exposure, ergonomic stress, fire risks, and slips or falls. In the Philippines, compliance with Republic Act No. 11058 mandated establishments to maintain safe workplaces through training, risk assessments, and safety protocols. This study assessed the implementation and adherence to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) practices in accommodation establishments in Iloilo City. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from 300 respondents across hotels, inns, motels, and pension houses. The study focused on key OSH areas such as management commitment, personnel training, promotion of awareness, and working conditions. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to determine significant differences and relationships among the variables. Results showed that OSH practices were moderately implemented, with hotels demonstrating the highest adherence and motels the lowest. Significant differences between OSH implementation and adherence were observed, indicating areas for improvement, particularly in training and management commitment. The study concluded that strengthening OSH practices, especially in motels, through enhanced training programs and greater management support, could improve overall adherence and safety standards in accommodation establishments.
