Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) has been awarded the gold award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Occupational Health and Safety Awards.
The award was presented to QF during an official ceremony held recently at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow.
The prestigious accolade demonstrates QF’s dedication to raising health and safety standards in Qatar, and its commitment to creating a positive and proactive environment in the workplace.
Sheikha Amal al-Thani, HSSE executive director, Qatar Foundation, said: “We are immensely delighted to have been presented with this award, especially from such a world-renowned organisation as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. Workplace safety is a culture, therefore this award is a deserved recognition as it confirms our continued commitment to providing the highest possible standards of health and safety in the workplace.”
Collecting the award in Glasgow, Mohammed Ahmed Bakhamis, HSE director of Qatar Foundation, shared Sheikha Amal al-Thani’s sentiments. “To receive such a prestigious gold award after our first attempt is a fantastic achievement, and we are extremely proud to have been recognised in this way.”
The award recognises a very high level of performance, demonstrating well-developed occupational health and safety management systems and culture, outstanding control of risk, and very low levels of error, harm, and loss.
David Rawlins, awards manager, RoSPA, said: “The RoSPA Awards encourage improvement in occupational health and safety management. Organisations that gain recognition for their health and safety management systems, such as Qatar Foundation, contribute to raising standards overall and we congratulate them.”
