Abstract

The research study determined the adoption of the university’s health and safety manual in Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines and the implementation and evaluation of limited face-to-face sessions. To gather information about the implementation and evaluation of the few face-to-face classes that formed the basis for the Health and Safety Manual, quantitative research and descriptive surveys were used. Purposive sampling was used to select a total of hundred (100) respondents from the respondent community. Frequency and percentage counting were the statistical techniques used to analyze the demographic profile of the respondents; weighted means were used to analyze the level of application of health and safety regulations during restricted face-to-face instruction. The findings showed that most respondents who answered the survey regarding the implementation of limited face-to-face classes in the University Dipolog City, Zamboanga Del Norte, were aged 18-21 years old, female, and first-year students. The results also showed that respondents strongly agreed with the risk of limited face-to-face classes and the opportunities of face-to-face courses. As a result, the implementation of few face-to-face classes was much implemented.
