Abstract

Background: Occupational safety and health (OSH) literacy is essential for reducing workplace accidents among construction workers in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Objective: This study aimed to describe the OSH literacy profile of MSME construction workers after receiving an educational video intervention. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted among 60 construction workers selected through purposive sampling. Participants received a standardized educational video on OSH practices before completing a validated OSH literacy questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and skewness, to summarize participants’ literacy levels following the intervention. Results: The post-intervention OSH literacy scores had a mean of 48.3, median of 48.0, minimum of 13, maximum of 100, standard deviation of 22.3, and skewness of 0.457. Most participants demonstrated moderate OSH literacy, with scores ranging from 40 to 60, indicating a relatively balanced distribution of knowledge after the educational intervention. Conclusion: Educational videos represent an effective, practical, and cost-efficient strategy for improving OSH literacy among MSME construction workers. Integrating video-based education with mobile learning platforms may further strengthen workplace safety awareness, promote safer work practices, reduce occupational accidents, and enhance productivity in the construction sector.
