An Assessment of District Project Engineers’ Occupational Safety and Health Awareness and Project Management Practices in Road Construction in Region Xi
Abstract:
This study assessed the occupational safety and health (OSH) awareness and project management practices of project engineers in road construction within Region XI. Using a non- experimental quantitative design with a descriptive-correlational approach, data were collected from 150 project engineers via a validated survey. Findings revealed that OSH awareness among respondents was generally high across indicators, including workers’ training, safety awareness, and company safety activities. Similarly, project management practices in terms of planning, funding, monitoring, evaluation, and risk management were rated very high. Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between OSH awareness and project management practices, suggesting that improved safety awareness contributes to more effective project execution. However, gaps were identified in specialized safety training and technical knowledge. The study concludes that integrating OSH principles into project management enhances both safety performance and project outcomes and recommends strengthening targeted training programs and continuous professional development initiatives.
