Abstract Regarding construction activities in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, particular emphasis is placed on training efficiency gaps, safety use, and the need of personal protection equipment (PPE); health and safety policies are also investigated. Including quantifiable surveys as well as qualitative interviews, the study evaluates corporate policies via a mixed-methods strategy. The survey of 60 people included 40 construction staff, 10 site engineers/safety officers, and 10 project managers/administrators. The data reveal that almost everybody has considerable industry experience; 73.3 percent have high school diploma and 28.3 percent have six to ten years of experience. Although site engineers and safety officers found health and safety training efficiency somewhat higher at 3.20, construction employees rated it a 2.93 average. Furthermore varied were views on safety communication; project managers rated it quite higher at 3.25, while construction workers gave it a neutral 3.09. Though construction workers gave it 4.23, all groups generally agreed on the efficiency of incident reporting systems. Construction workers ranked access to personal protective equipment low; therefore, they obviously noted resources inequality with a 2.40 score. While the research also stresses strong reporting systems and executive support, it mostly points to training levels and PPE distribution especially requiring of focus. Absolutely necessary is solving these problems for the building industry in the area to have better safety culture, fewer workplace risks, and adherence to occupational safety norms.
