The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ achieved 12 million man-hours without loss time injury (LTI) in the Flood Prevention Scheme (Phase 3) since the start of its implementation, which is under the supervision of the Drainage Networks Projects Department.
Ashghal, represented by Eng.

On this occassion, Eng. Khalid Saif Al-Khayareen, Manager of Drainage Networks Projects Department commented: “This achievement is a tangible evidence of the authority’s commitment to implementing the highest standards of occupational safety and health that ensure the prevention of accidents and injuries in work areas, through applying a set of policies and procedures and obligating all contractors to them, ensuring a safe work environment for workers, and submitting periodic reports during the implementation of project works.”
He added: “Construction works witnessed many challenges, most notably the scattered work sites in all regions of the country which are 300 work sites located in the North and South of Doha and the external areas, which include areas that area densely populated and congested. This is in addition to the need to provide solutions to protect workers from high temperatures and humidity, provide a medical team in the project, and submit follow-up reports daily. This is done through joint co-operation between Ashghal, an international consultancy office, and a number of contracting companies specialised in infrastructure works.”
