The workers present were the project engineers, safety officer, accounting and management staff, foremen, mason, painters, janitors, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, among others.

Engr. Wesley Welfredo Dulla, DOLE-accredited OSH Practitioner and Board of Director of the WVOSHNET, discussed and facilitated topics on occupational safety. Specifically, electrical safety, fall protection & ladder safety, excavation safety and confined space. Such topics were requested by the company, themselves.

After the topics, the participants had a workshop on just thinking about their workplaces where they wrote concerns on occupational safety, health and environment in their respective areas, their recommendations, time frame of its implementation, and responsible people for assistance. The outputs were then submitted to the safety officer for evaluation of management.

Mr. Alvin Ita-as, son of the owner of TQM Construction Corporation, received IEC materials and the OSHS yellow book from the OSHC.
