        abstract = {This study investigates the relationship between Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) enforcement and incident reduction across five industrial construction sites situated in high-risk environments. The research employs a mixed-methods approach integrating observational data, safety audit reports, structured surveys, and interviews with 120 participants, including workers, engineers, and safety staff. The study reveals a significant decline in incident rates following strict PPE implementation, with head injuries reduced by 50% and hand injuries by 48% at key sites. Comparative analysis shows a rise in compliance scores from an average of 61% to 86% over six months. Worker feedback highlights both improved safety perception and challenges related to PPE comfort and replacement logistics. The findings underline the critical role of supervisory vigilance, training initiatives, and regular equipment audits in sustaining high compliance. The paper contributes actionable insights for safety managers and policymakers aiming to strengthen occupational health and safety frameworks in similar industrial settings.},
