Abstract: This study determined the extent of manifestations of health and safety practices of Emergency Room nurses in selected secondary hospitals in Cebu City. The study utilized descriptive survey method to identify the extent of manifestations of health and safety practices of Emergency Room nurses. T-test was used to test the difference in order to obtain the basis of designing an intervention. Based on the findings of the study, Hospital A ER nurses rated aspects on health and safety practices 2.68 which means moderately extent while nurse administrators rated it 2.77 which means moderately extent that means majority of the nurses implemented and adhered to the health and safety practices while ER nurses of Hospitals B rated it 3.21 meaning great extent as well as the nurse’s administrators with the rate of 3.50 which means of great extent. However, Hospital C rated it 2.82 moderately extent by ER nurses and 2.93 moderately extent by nurse administrators. With this result, a significant difference was noted among all aspects by the nurse administrators and ER nurses thus, the theory of accident causation and broken window theory holds true in this findings. The best accident prevention techniques and at the same time management should assume responsibility for safety because it is in the best position to get results. The supervisor is the key person in the prevention of industrial accidents. In the light of the findings, the researcher recommends the implementation of the Seminar Workshop: “Health and Safety Management Plan: A Development Plan for Emergency Room Nurses of Selected Secondary Hospitals” to improve its assessment from moderately extent to great extent.
