ABSTRACT LANDICHO, GENINE ELAIZA C. & SEVILLA, THEA COLLIN C. Effect of Occupational Safety Literacy on Prevalence of Work-Related Accidents and Injuries among Construction Workers in Selected Barangays in Silang, Cavite. Undergraduate Capstone. Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2022. Adviser: Engr. Roslyn P. Peņa This study entitled "Effect of Occupational Safety Literacy on Prevalence of Work-Related Accidents and Injuries among Construction Workers in Selected Barangays in Silang, Cavite" specifically aimed to know how often and what type of work-related accidents and injuries do construction workers on the construction site encounter in selected barangays in Silang, Cavite. Assess the level of occupational safety literacy of construction workers in selected barangays in Silang, Cavite. As well as to determine if there is a significant effect between occupational safety literacy and prevalence of work-related accidents and injuries. In 2017, the Philippines reported 38,235 cases of occupational accidents. A total of 46,283 occupational injuries were reported (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2019). However, research on expanded intermunicipal statistics and scales was limited. As a result, the paper conducted a comprehensive analysis of the effect of occupational literacy on the prevalence of work-related accidents and injuries among construction workers in selected barangays in Silang, Cavite, to fill a gap in the literature. The researchers conducted the study using a correlational method. The purposive non-probability sampling technique was used to select 385 construction workers from selected barangays in Silang, Cavite as the sample size. A survey was consisted of two parts and a 4-point scale was used to collect data for this study. The data gathered were interpreted using the frequency, percentage, frequency distribution table, and median as measures of central tendency and other statistical treatment such as Pearson Chi-Square Test for Independence and Somers' Delta. The findings of the study revealed a link between their level of occupational safety literacy and their experience with work-related accidents or injuries. As a result, as the number of work-related accidents or injuries in the workplace increases, so does their level of occupational safety literacy. Simply put, the study discovered that as you had encountered accidents and injuries, the lessons you learned from this increased your level of occupational safety literacy. This paper suggested that future researchers of this same study consider information about the participants, such as the type of project size in which they were included. For the purpose of a more in-depth analysis for this study, additional information about the participants is highly encouraged, including what sector of the construction industry they were in and the categorizations and classifications of contractors they were employed
