ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the training levels on the personal protective equipment among the group under study in Mombasa County, Kenya. Methods: This study interviewed one hundred and four respondents on the construction sites and investigated them on training levels on the use of protective equipment among the construction workers in Mombasa County, Kenya to ascertain adherence in the prevention of occupational hazards related with the construction works. This was cross sectional study design where about 13 sites were purposively and randomly selected within Mombasa County. The target was construction workers whereby, 104 respondents were interviewed on training needs to establish whether there was a relationship between injuries and safety. Questionnaires, Observation checklist and schedules were used to collect the respondent’s views. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 20.0 and Chi Square was used to establish statistical significance between independent and dependent variables. Results: The majority 79(76%) of respondent had never undertaken any safety training especially on the use of PPE on construction sites while a few 25(24%) had undertaken safety training on Personal Protective Equipment. This study found out that there were more male (86%) than female respondents with (14%). Conclusion and recommendation: This study therefore, concludes that, there was no significant association (?2 =5.0, df=12, p=0.72) between training of workers on safety and any particular construction sites. However, training deficit was found to be statistically significant with construction work related injuries. Therefore, this study recommends constant and intensive improved briefs on safety trainings from contractors to all construction workers and sites as these will reduces workplace injuries and hazards hence improved productivity.
