Safety and health guidelines in physical education can increase its resistance
or robustness and lower risk of accidents. Safety and health guidelines includes the

difference between the implemented guidelines of the schools. The guidelines that
they implemented were mostly the basic safety and health. In order to make

Reeves and Stein (1999) provide us with a positive way of conceptualizing a physical

By safe, the authors refer to the conduct of activity in which the student is
protected from danger. A significant portion of this chapter deals with all issues of
physical safety. They would also like to add the notion of psychological or emotional
safety as part of this first S. Students should feel they will be free from

Hazards and risks are present in schools, just as in any other workplace. However,
schools are a unique environment as the workplace is shared with students, to whom
a high duty of care is owed because of their vulnerability. School accidents and
incidents cause pain and suffering to the individual and his/her family. They affect
people’s ability to work and their enjoyment of life outside work. Many accidents and

Results Staffing, using PPE, and wearing it properly, is vital to avoid unnecessary
injury in the work place. Choosing not to wear PPE can be dangerous especially
when it could save your life. In terms of first aid, First Aid for Schools (2016) cited that
first aid offers a range of benefits, therefore, it is a must for the teachers and students
to get a proper first aid training so that they can contribute to preserving lives.
Without an initial medical assistance, a mild injury might turn into a serious one.
Moreover, serious injuries when not treated on time can be fatal. To ensure the safety
of all the staff members and students, it is important to have first aid in the schools. It
is vital to make everyone aware of the basic methods they should apply after an
accident occurs.

The research study was conducted to analyze and evaluate the level of safety
City. The following are the conclusions that the researcher formulated.
1. Based from the results presented, the researcher concluded that in terms of
the demographic profile of respondents, the length of service has direct effect on the
evaluation of the safety and health guidelines in Physical Education for it pertains to
how experienced in Physical Education class environment a teacher is. The longer
the service of the teacher the more knowledge they have in terms of the safety and
health procedures and policies that are being implemented in their school. In terms of
gender, according to Lahelma’s study in Finland (2000), it shows that high school
students do not give much importance to their teachers’ genders; Butler and
Christiansen’s (2003), the study of undergraduate teaching showed that the gender
performance of the students; and Ehrenberg, Goldhaber & Brewer’s (1995) study in
the US found that matching of teachers and learners based on their gender and
ethnicity does not have any significant effect on the student’s educational
achievements (Carrington, Tymms and Merrell 2005). Therefore the gender has no
