The goal of this study was to find the link between workplace accidents and the lack of Occupational Safety and Health education and training on the woodworking industry workforce. The focus of research was to determine the level of the understanding of the importance of personal protective equipment in preventing injuries as well as the amount of information the employees have received about the hazards they can and will face on their workplace and the ways they can prevent or minimize the risks before and during their employment. The research aims to give a clearer insight about how much the alertness of workers needs to be adjusted along with the changes necessary in the degree and type of education needed.
