Manila, Philippines — The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is modernizing the submission process for the Construction Safety and Health Program (CSHP) by digitalizing it, following the issuance of Labor Advisory No. 03, Series of 2026. This initiative aims to streamline procedures and strengthen regulatory compliance in the construction sector.

Aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to bringing government services closer to Filipinos and to promoting safer workplaces, the new Labor Advisory ensures that essential safety protections are firmly in place before any construction activity begins.

How to Use a Fire Extinguisher

Before using a fire extinguisher:

✔ Activate the nearest fire alarm
✔ Call the emergency response team / security
✔ Ensure patients are protected or relocated if necessary
✔ Confirm the fire is small and manageable (e.g., waste bin, small equipment fire)
✔ Keep an exit route behind you

Follow the PASS Method

P – Pull the safety pin to unlock the extinguisher.

A – Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, especially around electrical panels, medical equipment, or waste containers.

S – Squeeze the handle/lever to discharge the extinguishing agent.

S – Sweep side to side at the base until the fire is fully out.

Important Healthcare Safety Reminders!

DO NOT USE WATER ON ELECTRICAL OR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FIRES!

For oxygen-enriched areas (e.g., near oxygen tanks or ventilators),

>Evacuate immediately and shut off oxygen supply if trained and safe to do so.

>Prioritize patient safety and evacuation over fire suppression.

>Never leave non-ambulatory patients unattended during evacuation.

Fire Prevention Month 2026 Theme: “Sa Pag-iwas sa Sunog, Hindi Ka Nag-iisa.”

March reminds us that fire safety starts with awareness and responsibility. As we observe Fire Prevention Month, let us practice simple but life-saving habits — check electrical connections, avoid overloading outlets, keep fire exits clear, and know your emergency procedures.

Prevention is always better than response. Stay alert. Stay prepared. Protect lives and property.
