Safety Standards of the Department of Labor and Employment and
the constitutional mandate to safeguard the workers well-being as
well as to the environment. It also protect every working person
against the dangers of injury, sickness or death through safe and
healthful working conditions, thereby assuring the conservation of
valuable manpower resources and the prevention of loss or damage
to lives and properties, consistent with national development goals
and with the government for the total development of every
workers as a complete human being.

OBJECTIVES
