Perception of Employees towards Safety and Health in the Workplace at Burger Stations at Consolacion, Cebu

Making people and their work environment "fit" is the goal of ergonomics. It is necessary to manage numerous requirements in order for humans to operate comfortably. One of these requirements is that the equipment they are given be safe and efficient. The purpose of this study is to assess how safe it is to work on the various burger stands' work setups in Consolacion, Cebu. The study used qualitative methods to gather data among the employees. Five (5) respondents in total, one (1) representative from each of the burger stands Angels Burger, Nicey Burger Junction, Card's Burger Station, Burger Joint, and Heaven's Hamburger were present. This study used interview questionnaires that the selected employees from different burger shops answered. The majority of respondents mentioned as a result that although their workstation is spacious and comfortable and their kitchen equipment is complete and comfortable, they eventually experienced numbness, lack stress-relieving equipment, and lack company-provided safety procedure training and orientation. The design of the workstation, kitchen appliances, ergonomic seating, stress-relieving equipment, and staff training were among the issues the researchers discovered to be related to employee health and safety. If this issue is not given enough attention, the worker may have accidents and injuries that affect their quality of life and force them out of work.
