In our effort to protect our own employees, the society, and the environment in which they work and live, Qatar Steel celebrated Health, Safety & Environment Day at its site in Mesaieed Industrial Area on Sept 21, 2017 in line with WORLD STEEL Day. The event was focused to enhance awareness on safety in general, heat stress, firefighting techniques and demonstration, and road (traffic) safety, to name a few. The event was attended by Ministry of Interiors, Civil Defense and Red crescent, besides large number of contractors, Qatar Steel employees and top management.

In line with Qatar Steel’s commitment to integrate HSE objectives into management systems at all levels and improve HSE management practices continually, the event aimed to spread better understanding on how to prevent HSE risks and keep the environment clean and safe. Health tests and checks up was also the part of the event. A PPT presentation on Safety Transformation Program ‘AMAN’ was presented by Du Pont featuring the objectives to address key risks in day-to-day activities and create a “Zero Harm Culture” and building Qatar Steel safety system.

Attaching an immense importance of falling object and safety, all necessary measures taken at Qatar Steel ensures that everyone working up at heights as well as those on the ground are able to work more confidently and conveniently that they are in a safer workplace. In regard to this, Qatar Steel ensures that all workers receive training on procedures before entering the drop zones with equipment, such as cranes, where there is a hazard of objects falling and that ground workers maintain a distance away from the operations to protect workers from falling object hazards.
