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.
