| Abstract | The safety and health of workers is a critical issue especially for dangerous occupations such as the pyrotechnics industry. Studies showed that awareness to potential hazards in the workplace and workers` involvement in safety committees increase compliance to safety and health standards. This thesis measured the awareness of owners and workers to Republic Act 7183 (An Act Regulating the Sale, Manufacture, Distribution and Use of Firecrackers and other Pyrotechnics Devices), described the working conditions, and determined the level of workers` participation in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). Workers in the industry should be involved in terms of being informed on OSH matters, having active participation in association meetings and seminars, and taking personal responsibility to their own safety. The research made use of interviews, ocular visits and safety checklists to gather the necessary data. Results showed that awareness to R.A. 7183 among owners is high, however awareness among workers is low. Workers are not required to attend association meetings and seminars; there fore they do not have a sense of personal responsibility in ensuring safety in their workplaces. It is therefore recommended that workers be educated by letting them attend safety seminars and be allowed to participate in association meetings. |
