It’s the same here in the Philippines. When it comes to small-scale construction projects, safety often isn’t prioritized as much, as long as the workers feel comfortable. There isn’t always strict enforcement when it comes to wearing PPE. But of course, PPE is one of the most important things when it comes to workplace safety.

I remember hearing a Japanese saying that there are two kinds of accidents: those that can be prevented and those that can’t. One example of an accident that can be prevented is something that PPE can help with. Wearing the proper PPE can help protect workers and prevent certain accidents or reduce the severity of injuries.
