Abstract	This study evaluated the hazard reporting attitude among aircraft maintenance students of the University of PerpetualHelp System Laguna-School of Aviation. Specifically, it determined the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of yearlevel, sex, and age; assessed hazard reporting attitude in terms of safety culture, peer social influence, fear of unforeseenconsequences, and personal reporting attitude; identified the problems encountered in hazard reporting; determined therelationship between demographic profile and hazard reporting attitude; and proposed intervention programs to improve hazardreporting practices. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. A structured survey questionnairewas administered to 155 aircraft maintenance students enrolled in the Associate in Aircraft Maintenance Technology program.Data were treated using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, ranking, and Spearman's rho. The findings revealed thatrespondents were predominantly male, and the largest age group was 19 to 20 years old. The respondents manifested an overallAgree level of hazard reporting attitude across the four dimensions, with average weighted means of 2.94 for safety culture, 2.72for peer social influence, 2.59 for fear of unforeseen consequences, and2.87 for personal reporting attitude. Problems encounteredin hazard reporting also obtained an Agree level, with an overall average weighted mean of 2.81. The most evident concerns werelack of clear understanding of the hazard reporting procedure and limited access to hazard reporting forms or systems, both obtaining a mean of 2.88. No significant relationship was found between the demographic profile and hazard reporting attitude.Year level obtained a Spearman's rho of −0.117 with p = 0.147, age obtained ρ = 0.105 with p = 0.195, and sex obtained ρ = 0.038with p = 0.636. The most preferred interventions were regular safety briefings, positive instructor response, and demonstrations of the proper hazard reporting procedure. The study concludes that although students generally demonstrate a favorable attitudetoward hazard reporting, procedural barriers and reporting system limitations remain evident in the training environment.
