Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the level of awareness and compliance of residents in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines with electrical installation safety standards, identify factors affecting compliance, and propose strategies to improve awareness and adherence. Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, quantitative data are collected through survey questionnaires and compliance checklists, while qualitative insights are gathered through semi-structured interviews with key informants, including electricians, local government officials, and safety inspectors. Stratified random sampling is employed for the quantitative component, while purposive sampling is used for the qualitative component to ensure diverse and representative perspectives.
