This study investigated the effect of integrating ergonomic safety practices into woodworking instruction on the performance of second-year Industrial Arts students at the Technological University of the Philippines–Cuenca, Batangas Campus. A quasi-experimental research design was employed using pre assessment and post assessment with controlled and experimental groups. The experimental group received woodworking instruction that incorporated ergonomic safety practices such as proper body posture, appropriate workstation set-up, safe tool handling, and organized workspace management, while the controlled group continued with traditional woodworking instruction. Data were collected using a researcher developed questionnaires that measured ergonomic awareness, application of ergonomic practices, and perceived effects on student performance. Descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were used to analyze the data. Results revealed that the experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in ergonomic awareness, application of ergonomic practices, and overall student performance after the intervention, whereas the controlled group exhibited only minimal changes. The findings confirmed a significant difference between the pre assessment and post assessment results of the experimental group, indicating the positive effect of integrating ergonomic safety practices into woodworking instruction.
