Basic Health and Safety Awareness
Recognize common workplace hazards, understand basic duties for health and safety at work, and know how to work safely, report concerns and respond to emergencies in any workplace.
- Foundation
Understand how an occupational health and safety management system works, from policy and risk control to monitoring and review, using ISO 45001 concepts and the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.
The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) course in Doha, Qatar explains how organizations manage health and safety as a system rather than a set of separate rules. Learners explore OHS management fundamentals: leadership and worker participation, safety policy, hazard identification and risk control, legal and other requirements, competence, communication, and monitoring performance. The course uses the structure and concepts of ISO 45001, the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems, and the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to show how each element connects.
Sessions combine short explanations with case studies, group exercises and practical tools such as a simple policy review and a leading and lagging indicator worksheet. The course is about understanding and applying the concepts; it is not an ISO 45001 lead auditor or certification course. It suits supervisors, coordinators and managers who want a broader view of safety management. Organizations can run it as an in-house program, using their own procedures and examples so teams see how the system applies to their daily work.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain the purpose and benefits of an occupational health and safety management system
Describe the main clauses and concepts of ISO 45001 in practical terms
Apply the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to workplace safety activities

Organizations in Qatar's energy, construction, infrastructure, logistics and healthcare sectors increasingly manage safety through structured systems, and many contractors are asked by clients to show how their OHS arrangements work. Understanding ISO 45001 concepts helps supervisors and coordinators speak the same language as clients, auditors and the Ministry of Labour. A systematic approach also supports Qatar National Vision 2030 goals for a healthy, capable workforce and sustainable growth across the country's major projects.
