At Qatar Steel, we actively promote good health among our personnel. This helps us to maintain a productive and positive workplace for our employees and contractors, and promotes general healthy living among our people.
In addition to preventing accidents, our safety protocols also focus on eliminating occupational incidents. Our approach to this elimination involves promoting healthy lifestyles and fostering employee wellbeing via frequent awareness campaigns. All Qatar Steel employees and contractors are required to participate in health and safety awareness sessions and training as part of their orientation. Specific campaigns are also implemented to help reduce or mitigate ailments such as heat stress. to protect the hearing of our employees and contractors, a regular survey is conducted to measure noise in high-risk areas. Additionally, an exploratory committee is currently investigating ways to limit source-noise levels.
Our onsite facilities offer immediate treatment of minor injuries. The onsite clinic also conducts pre-employment and periodic medical exams for employees. to better serve our people, Qatar Steel is also working on a future initiative to expand the clinic to handle more medical responsibilities.
