Composite Laboratory Structural Equipment Safety Factors at the Philippine State College of Aeronautics
Abstract
Higher education institutions (HEIs) are commonly viewed as sanctuaries, protected locations where young people can study crucial ideas in a welcoming setting and develop friendships and knowledge that will last a lifetime. Philippine State College of Aeronautics (PhilSCA) is one of the HEIs in the Philippines which focuses on aviation and aeronautics. The study's goal is to determine the factors influencing safety in the composite laboratory at this academic institution and to provide ideas to enhance the safety of structural equipment for laboratory users. The study is composed of 132 participants from PhilSCA, Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP), and Wide- Aero Aviation Services Corporation (WAASCO). A 4-point Likert survey on laboratory facility, instructor, laboratory safety programs, and building construction was used in this research. Same Likert scale was still used to determine the assessment of the participants regarding safety precautions implemented in the PhilSCA composite laboratory in terms of working environment; safety policy and objectives; and equipment; and likewise requested suggestions/recommendations of the participants to obtain the relevant information about the study. Based on the findings of the study, PhilSCA – Villamor Campus has a safe composite Laboratory Facilities; Building Construction; and Working Environment but can still be enhanced to attain the highest safety. The institution also has good Laboratory Safety Program; and Safety Policy and Objective but based on the data gathered there is still a room for improvement to promote safer workplace. On the other hand instructors handling composite subject do their job well to maintain safety inside composite laboratory. However, the study also revealed that there is a lack of equipment that can result in producing slightly unsafe composite product as the participant rated this criterion as “Partially Implemented.” Therefore, the study used some ideas from the participants to fully enhance and achieve the maximum safety on composite laboratory.
