However, this sector is one of the most dangerous industries in the Philippines considering the frequency of occupational injuries. OBJECTIVE: To determine the primary and root causes of recorded accidents, demographics of the person involved, and solutions to prevent the recurrence of certain accidents. METHODS: This study analyzed 185 occupational injury cases in a food and beverage manufacturing company in the Philippines from January to December 2018. A comprehensive classification system was established to examine and code each case in terms of age, gender, working shift, employee type, tenure, department, category, activity during the accident, root cause of injury, injury classification, direct cause of injury, type of injury, part of body injured, agent of injury, and location of the accident. Cramer\u2019s V analysis and Phi coefficient analyses were employed on the subject cases to determine the significant factors and the corresponding extent of significance. RESULTS: The results showed that the majority of the occupational injuries were caused by stepping on, striking against, or stuck by objects (77 cases, 41.6%), caught in between (34 cases, 18.4%), fall (34 cases, 18.4%), and exposure or contact with extreme temperatures (24 cases, 13%). Interestingly, female workers who had accidents were more likely due to inadequate hazard information or lack of procedures whereas male workers were more likely due to failure to secure. The prevention measures such as passive safeguards and personal protective equipment, pictograms, and regular safety audits were derived from the results of these analyses. CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first comprehensive analysis of occupational injuries in the food and beverage industry in the Philippines. The findings can be applied to positively influence the effectiveness of prevention and rehabilitation programs mitigating workplace injuries and illnesses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/wor-210662","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]],"date-time":"2022-09-02T11:40:55Z","timestamp":1662118855000},"page":"1307-1324","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Accident patterns and prevention measures for occupational injuries in the Philippine food and beverage manufacturing industry"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"Yogi Tri","family":"Prasetyo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Map\u00faa University, Manila, Philippines"},{"name":"International Program in Engineering for Bachelor, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melvin M.","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Map\u00faa University, Manila, Philippines"},{"name":"School of Graduate Studies, Map\u00faa University, Manila, Philippines"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ratna Sari","family":"Dewi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Surabaya, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thanatorn","family":"Chuenyindee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Aviation Management, Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy, Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshiki B.","family":"Kurata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering Faculty of Engineering, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mirta","family":"Widia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Industrial Sciences and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Gambang, Kuantan, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/WOR-210662_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1016\/j.promfg.2015.07.050","article-title":"Occupational Accident Direct Cost Model Validation Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis","volume":"2","author":"Rohani","year":"2015","journal-title":"Procedia Manufacturing"},{"key":"10.3233\/WOR-210662_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1394","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssci.2011.06.004","article-title":"Fatal workplace accidents in outsourced operations in the manufacturing industry","author":"Nenonen","year":"2011","journal-title":"Safety Science"},{"key":"10.3233\/WOR-210662_ref4","unstructured":"Manuele FA .
