The THREE Safety Organizations in Cagayan de Oro City
As of date, there are three safety organizations here in Cagayan de Oro City namely:
1. Occupational Safety and Health Network (OSH Network 10)led by Engr. TV Cahoy
2. Safety Organization of the Philippines Inc. - Misamis Oriental, Cagayan de Oro City and Bukidnon led by Engr. MB Sumalinog; and the
3. Association of Safety Practitioners of the Philippines Inc. (ASPPI)led by Engr. HR Cual
What is good about these three organizations is that they are not competing with each other. In fact, there was a recently signed MOA among these safety groups and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) committing to work towards a Zero Accident Workplace and a Safer Northern Mindanao.
We have lined up different activities that support each other because these safety groups believed that the mission is one and the same i.e. to make our workplace a SAFER and BETTER.

Legal Basis of Safety and Safety Management
Good day fellow Health and Safety advocates here in Cagayan de Oro City or in any part here
in Mindanao Philippines. Here is another entry of some Safety and Health topics as promised
during the last day of our Construction Safety and BOSH training held in Cagayan de Oro last
week.
So first things first...
WHY SAFETY? WHAT ARE THE LEGAL BASIS OF SAFETY IN THE PHILIPPINES?
According to the Occupation Safety and Health (OSH) standard, every employer has a legal
obligation to furnish employment (work) and a place of employment (workplace) free from
known hazards that could cause serious injury or death. This entry is designed to give you
some ideas to help meet that obligation and apply effective management principles to the
function of workplace safety. The ultimate goal is to help you understand these principles
so that it affects your thinking, beliefs, decision and finally your actions to improve your
company's safety management system and leadership culture.
Maybe, you've remembered the cost of an accident: the Direct and Indirect Cost. Look below
at what effective safety and health management can offer.
SAFETY IS SMART BUSINESS!
If you want to reduce the costs and risks associated with workplace injuries, illnesses, and
fatalities, you should place as much emphasis on safety and health in your workplace as you
do other management issues such as production, sales, transportation and quality control.
The old phrase, "Safety First," may sound nice, but in reality, safety is less effective if
it's thought to be a priority. In a highly competitive environment priorities can change
rapidly. To survive, a company must both produce and be safe. Turn safety into a core value
that never changes. Change "safety first" into "Safety only."
"Safety Only" emphasizes the idea that its fine to produce as hard and fast as you can, as
long as you can do it safely. High productivity is desired, but if a safety hazard or
practice is discovered that might cause serious physical harm or death, it should be
corrected immediately, even if that means shutting down production. That's commitment to
safety!
Please post your comments and if you have some topics on Safety and Health to share here,
please do not hesitate to email and contact me. You may also want to share this very new
site to all your friends who are interested in advancing a career in Safety whether here in
Cagayan de Oro City, in Mindanao, here in the Philippines or even abroad.

Cagayan de Oro City Safety & Health Network
Safety program impacts construction injuries
Phoenix Business Journal
A federal construction safety program introduced by the Clinton Administration in 1998 has had a dramatic effect on fatality and injury rates.
That’s the conclusion of a 10-year analysis conducted by the Associated General Contractors.
National construction fatality rates plummeted 47 percent and recordable safety incidents dropped 38 percent in the decade since the “collaborative safety approach” was initiated, according to an AGC news release distributed Tuesday.
“The collaborative safety approach represented a significant shift in federal safety oversight when it was first introduced by the Clinton Administration,” the release said.
“The approach creates incentives for companies to find and fix safety problems before incidents occur while maintaining strong penalties for companies that let safety problems lag until someone is hurt,” the release continued.
The analysis noted that fatalities and injuries dropped during a time frame when construction hit a fevered pit in Phoenix and around the nation.
The trend may continue, but most likely due to dramatic declines in construction employment, according to a different release from AGC economist Ken Simonson.
His latest report said construction employment fell again in July in 34 states and in the nation’s capital. Since July 2008, construction fell to some degree in every state except Louisiana, North Dakota and Mississippi.
Comment:
There is also an equivalent Safety, Health programs available not just in Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao but in the Philippines as a whole. There is in fact a Government Agency in-charge for the Safety and Health of the workers. One of the relevant orders is the Department Order no. 13 which was approved in 1998. Department Order (or DO 13) is the GUIDELINES GOVERNING OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. So fellow Safety advocates, trainors or consultants here in Cagayan de Oro City or here in Mindanao, Philippines or to any person interested in Safety and Health - please feel free to visit this site and we will build a network of Safety and Health advocates and lets make a difference by spreading Safety and Health in Cagayan de Oro City, in Mindanao or the Philippine as a whole.
