Doha, Qatar - Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) is enhancing its dedication to employee welfare and operational safety through an internal Health and Safety Programme. This initiative aims to foster a heightened safety culture and awareness among its workforce, as highlighted by the company in recent social media updates.
The programme relies on quantifiable performance metrics to promote positive behavior and prioritize prevention over incident response. Key elements include leadership involvement, routine inspections, systematic reporting, and interactive activities, all designed to embed health and safety practices into daily operations at the Doha Metro and Lusail Tram networks.
Central to the initiative are ten performance indicators aimed at fostering continuous improvement. These indicators encompass aspects such as leadership tours, safety inspections, task briefings, welfare and housekeeping standards, emergency protocols, near-miss reporting, reward and consequence systems, incident investigations, bonus points, and accident/incident monitoring.
By monitoring these indicators, Qatar Rail aims to maintain consistent benchmarking standards across its rail network while consistently evaluating practices to bolster safety performance. Qatar Rail emphasizes that "Safety is more than a number; it is a culture and mindset we strengthen year after year."
The programme also promotes open communication and the reporting of potential hazards, alongside recognizing strong safety performance through structured incentives. This approach aims to cultivate a shared sense of responsibility among employees for maintaining a secure working environment.
Qatar Rail's commitment to health and safety aligns with its broader objective of delivering dependable, appealing, and secure public transportation services. The company oversees, operates, and maintains the Red, Green, and Gold lines of the Doha Metro, as well as the Lusail Tram network, where safety protocols are integral to routine operations.
Internationally, Qatar Rail has garnered recognition for its health and safety practices, underscoring its commitment to upholding high standards for both employees and passengers.
