Abstract

This research investigates the health and safety obstacles encountered by experienced construction professionals in Metro Manila. By addressing these challenges, the study aims to enhance worker well-being, safety practices, and policy formulation, potentially yielding economic benefits through cost reduction for construction firms and improved safety standards. Emphasizing social responsibility, the research advocates for promoting worker health and safety to bolster public trust and company reputation. Evidence-based recommendations provided can aid policymakers and regulatory bodies in updating regulations tailored to construction workers' needs, ensuring compliance and addressing sector-specific challenges. Valuable insights for the construction industry include strategies to retain and support experienced workers, anticipating reduced turnover rates and increased productivity. A safer construction environment not only benefits workers but also the broader community by reducing accidents and fostering societal harmony. The study prioritizes enhancing construction workers' quality of life by addressing physical hazards and safety protocol gaps, offering practical guidelines for employers to cultivate a culture of worker well-being and satisfaction. Furthermore, the research contributes to the academic discourse on occupational health and safety in physically demanding industries like construction, advancing understanding and facilitating future discussions on challenges and solutions in this field.
