Abstract: This study assesses the occupational safety practices among motorcycle repair shops in the City of Mati, Davao Oriental, Philippines. A mixed-method approach, combining surveys and in-depth interviews, was employed to evaluate safety practices, training, and awareness levels among shop owners and mechanics. The results highlight significant gaps in occupational safety measures, including inadequate use of personal protective equipment, lack of formal safety training, and a high incidence of workplace injuries. Recommendations include mandatory safety training, financial support for safety equipment, and stronger enforcement of occupational safety regulations.
