Safety Training

HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING

At Qatar Steel, we support the health and safety of our employees by providing comprehensive training programs.These trainings are designed to enhance their technical competence and raise awareness about potential workplace hazards, enabling them to effectively mitigate risks. Throughout 2023, we offered various training sessions, including Basic Fire Fighting, Behaviour Based Safety Awareness, Chemicals and Hazardous Materials handling, HIRA, PTW and LOTO Refresher, Working at Heights, and Confined Space Entry.

These trainings are conveniently accessible through our HSE eLearning Platform, ensuring widespread availability and easy access for all employees. The training modules on our platform cover two important aspects. The “Employee Participation in HSE and Related Incentives” module aims to educate employees on the significance of their participation in HSE activities. It also highlights the different types of HSE recognitions and incentives, encouraging staff engagement and involvement in safety processes.

The “Awareness on HSE Training Courses” module focuses on increasing employees’ knowledge about the various HSE training courses offered by our organisation. It helps them prioritise their training needs based on a sample hazard analysis of operational departments.

In 2023, an Electrical Safety module was introduced to address the elimination, removal, and prevention of electrical hazards in both plant and office environments.

At Qatar Steel, we recognise Health and Safety Training as being of paramount importance to achieve our goal of becoming a Zero-harm culture and performance organisation and we have therefore established a target to increase our Health and Safety training hours to 33,826 by 2026. In 2023, an overall decrease of 40% took place, which is primarily attributed to challenges in securing third-party training providers at the beginning of the year.
