Recognize workplace health hazards such as noise, dust, chemicals, poor ergonomics, heat and stress, understand how they cause ill health, and know how exposure is controlled and monitored.
The Occupational Health Awareness course in Doha, Qatar focuses on the health side of health and safety: the hazards that cause illness over time rather than sudden injury. Learners study noise and hearing loss, dusts and fumes, hazardous chemicals, vibration, heat stress, poor ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders, and work-related stress. The course explains routes of entry into the body, the difference between acute and chronic effects, and why occupational ill health is often underreported because symptoms appear slowly.
Sessions use case studies, simple exposure examples and workstation exercises to show how health risks are controlled, from substitution and ventilation to job rotation and hearing protection. Learners also find out how health surveillance, such as hearing checks and lung function tests, helps detect early harm, and how noise is assessed against general action levels in dB(A). Organizations can run the course as an in-house program focused on the specific health hazards in their own workplaces.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain the difference between occupational safety and occupational health
Identify physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial health hazards
Describe how noise, dust and chemicals enter and harm the body
Apply ergonomic principles such as neutral posture to reduce strain
Recognize signs of heat illness and work-related stress
Explain the purpose of health surveillance and exposure monitoring
This course is designed for people who want to understand and reduce long-term health risks at work.

Workers in Qatar face health hazards that build up over time, from summer heat and dust on construction sites to noise and chemicals in industrial areas and long hours at workstations in offices. Occupational health awareness helps employers protect long-term wellbeing as well as preventing injuries. This supports the human development and health goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 and the expectations of the Ministry of Labour for healthy working conditions.
