Occupational Health Issues Among Taxi Drivers in Baguio City

Author(s) Mr. JOJO SALEO FLORES, Dr. MARY ROSE BENCILA SIMON

Abstract Taxi driving plays a crucial role in urban transportation by supporting the daily mobility needs of residents and visitors. However, this profession exposes drivers to a range of occupational health risks that can negatively affect their physical well-being and overall quality of life. This study investigates the occupational health issues faced by taxi drivers in Baguio City, focusing on identifying common health concerns and evaluating their awareness and adoption of preventive measures. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, data were collected through surveys administered to a sample of active taxi drivers in the city. The results show that most drivers are middle-aged, with varying levels of driving experience and monthly income. The most common health issues reported were musculoskeletal pain, respiratory conditions, and cardiovascular concerns. Despite limited formal health training, most drivers expressed awareness of the importance of preventive practices. Based on the findings, it is recommended to implement health education campaigns, regular medical check-ups, ergonomic training, and collaborative intervention programs involving local authorities and health professionals to address and reduce occupational health risks among taxi drivers.
