SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Work
Immersion is an integral part of the K-12 Program in fully realizing its goal to
produce job-ready graduates quipped with industry – base skills.
Likewise, it strongly affirms that while work immersion contributes to the

or even an employer or an entrepreneur soon, you must learn this lesson.
Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS)
This was formulated in 1978 in compliance with the constitutional mandate
to safeguard the workers’ social and economic well-being as well as their
physical safety and health.
Article 162 of the Labor Code of the Philippines: Safety and health standards
- was promulgated to set and enforce mandatory occupational safety and
health standards to eliminate or reduce occupational safety and health
hazards in all workplaces, and institute new and update existing programs,
to ensure safe and healthful working conditions in all places of
employment.
- this body of rules and regulations is referred to as “Standards.”
OSHS aims to protect every working man and woman against the dangers
of injury, sickness or death through safe and healthful working conditions;
thereby, assuring the conservation of valuable manpower resources and the
prevention of loss or damage to lives and properties, consistent with national
development goals and with the State’s commitment for the total development of
every worker as a complete human being.
