Abstract

This study explores the enhancement of safety awareness and hazard identification skills among Grade 10 Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) students at Dr. Yanga’s Colleges, Inc. The research aims to integrate safety engineering principles into the curriculum, focusing on identifying and mitigating potential hazards in school and various environment. The study used a quasi-experimental and action research design and using pre-test and post-tests to assess the impact of safety engineering training. Results indicate a significant improvement in students’ safety awareness and hazard identification skills after the intervention, as evidenced by a marked increase in post-test scores and a statistically significant difference in performance (t = -8.858.02, p < 0.05). The findings suggest that enhancing students' safety skills has broader benefits, empowering them to advocate for safety practices within their community and reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries. This study contributes to the academic field by providing a new approach to safety education, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application in real-world contexts.
