Sanitation issues are a major concern in many workplaces because they contribute to health problems among employees, customers and others. This study aimed to determine the sanitation practices of the wet markets in the first district of La Union. Descriptive survey method of research was used through the aid of questionnaire and supplemented by interview and observation. Two hundred fifty (250) vendors and nine (9) administrators were selected as respondents, using stratified random sampling and purposive sampling, respectively. Frequency counts, percentages and means were used in the analysis of data. The research shows that vendors are very much aware on sanitation practices employed in the wet markets and have highly adopted it. The availability of sanitary facilities was noted. However, there is a slightly serious problem on the inadequacy of water supply.
