Doha, Qatar: Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) is strengthening its commitment to employee well-being and operational safety through its internal Health and Safety Programme, aimed at promoting awareness, account ability and a proactive safety culture across its workforce.
The programme, high lighted by Qatar Rail in a recent social media update, uses measurable performance indicators to encourage positive behaviour and place greater emphasis on prevention rather than responding to incidents after they occur.
Leadership engagement, regular inspections, systematic reporting and interactive initiatives are among the key components of the programme, helping to embed health and safety practices in daily operations across the Doha Metro and Lusail Tram networks.
At the heart of the initiative are 10 key performance indicators designed to support continuous improvement.
They cover leadership tours, health and safety inspections, task briefings, welfare and house keeping standards, emergency arrangements, near-miss reporting, reward and consequence mechanisms, incident investigations, bonus points, and the monitoring of accidents and incidents.
By tracking these indicators, Qatar Rail seeks to maintain unified bench marking standards across its rail network while continuously reviewing practices to strengthen safety performance. “Safety is more than a number; it is a culture and mindset we strengthen year after year,” Qatar Rail said.
The programme also encourages open communication and the reporting of potential hazards, while recognising strong safety performance through structured incentives.
This approach is intended to strengthen employees’ sense of shared responsibility for maintaining a safe working environment. The initiative supports Qatar Rail’s wider objective of providing reliable, attractive and safe public transport services.
The company manages, operates and maintains the Doha Metro’s Red, Green and Gold lines as well as the Lusail Tram network, where safety protocols form an integral part of daily operations. \Qatar Rail has also received international recognition for its health and safety practices, reflecting its efforts to maintain high standards for employees and passengers.
