This incident highlights the need for a thorough analysis of workplace accidents in the region. Methodology: It is a qualitative study, with a descriptive design and systematic review of OHS problems in different labour sectors in the Santa Anita district. Results: Significant concerns were identified, such as a lack of adequate OSH training, improper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), inefficiencies in control and supervision, non-compliance with regulations, and poor equipment maintenance. The recent accident at the PepsiCo plant underscores the urgency of effective measures to prevent workplace accidents and promote a safe and healthy environment for workers in the district.
