Choose by your role and your site’s risks:
Recognized qualifications: compare our NEBOSH courses in Qatar, Highfield Qualifications and ISO Lead Auditor.
Every workplace: start with Basic Health and Safety Awareness and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment.
Fire and first aid: see Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting, Fire Warden and Marshal Training, Basic First Aid and CPR and AED Training.
Construction sites: see Construction Site Safety Awareness, Formwork and Shoring Safety and Roofing Safety.
Oil, gas and industry: see Oil and Gas Safety Induction, H2S Awareness, Gas Testing Awareness, Hot Work Safety and Process Safety Management.
Food businesses: see Food Safety & Hygiene Fundamentals and HACCP Principles & Implementation.
Training a whole team? Any of these safety courses can be discussed as corporate training in Qatar, at your premises, at our Doha centre or online.
Short awareness courses suit people who need to work safely in a specific situation, such as at height or around chemicals. Qualifications such as NEBOSH suit people who manage safety or want a career in it. Employers often combine both: awareness courses for site teams, and a qualification for supervisors and safety officers.
