The Qatari Ministry of Labour has stepped up workplace inspection and awareness initiatives as part of wider efforts to improve occupational health and safety standards across the country.
The ministry said its 2025 campaigns contributed to a noticeable reduction in workplace and accommodation-related injuries through increased monitoring, education and compliance activities.
According to figures released by the ministry, more than 30,000 inspection visits were carried out during the year, including over 20,000 inspections at worksites across various sectors. Authorities also organised hundreds of field awareness campaigns combining site visits, workshops and direct engagement with workers and employers.
In addition, nearly 10,000 awareness programmes were delivered at workers’ accommodation facilities to promote safer living conditions and reinforce occupational safety practices.
The ministry noted that the initiatives focused on strengthening adherence to labour regulations while encouraging a stronger culture of workplace safety. Officials highlighted the importance of continuous training and awareness programmes in helping reduce accidents and improving overall productivity.
The announcement coincided with the observance of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, marked annually on 28 April to raise awareness of occupational risks and preventive measures worldwide.
The ministry stressed that ensuring safe and healthy working environments remains central to supporting employee wellbeing, innovation and operational efficiency. It added that protecting workers’ physical and mental health continues to be a key priority under the country’s labour development strategy.
Officials also said the campaigns support the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030 by promoting a sustainable labour market and improving quality of life for workers across the country.
