Occupational Safety comes under the Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs, State of Qatar. The officers from this ministry conduct regular inspections in construction sites here.

Generally, safety awareness and application seems to be lacking in Qatar (I stand corrected on this point) perhaps its due to the sudden surge of the construction industry in Qatar as a whole. The legislation and enforcements are lagging as a result of the sheer pace of development.

Many construction companies here are either ignorant, oblivious or apathetic towards issues of safety and that's rather worrying.
