Dear OHS leaders,

I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. As the Chair of IOSH Qatar Branch, I wanted to reach out to each one of you to express my gratitude for your continued support and dedication to our profession.

Over the past year, we have faced unprecedented challenges due to the global pandemic. The health and safety landscape has evolved rapidly, requiring us to adapt and find innovative ways to protect our workforce and communities. I am proud to say that our branch has risen to the occasion, demonstrating resilience and commitment to our shared mission of creating safer and healthier workplaces. My sincere thanks to all the branch volunteers for their leadership and contributions to thrive even in these challenging times.

Looking ahead, IOSH’s five-year strategy, #Activate2028, is all about action – and the whole occupational safety and health profession coming together to create better working lives. It’s about building on what we’ve achieved so far and progressing, supporting and celebrating our profession. I am excited about the opportunities that lie before us. We will continue to prioritize the health and well-being of our members and strive to deliver value through a diverse range of professional development opportunities.

I encourage you all to actively engage with our branch, attend our events, share your expertise, and connect with fellow members. Together, we can foster a vibrant community that promotes collaboration, learning, and the exchange of best practices.

There is a real drive for improvement in working conditions and occupational health and safety standards across Qatar. Recent men’s football world cup hosted by Qatar which is one of the safest events of this kind, is a testimony of the commitment of the state of Qatar. IOSH’s vision is a safe and healthy world of work, and our branch is firmly aligned to this. We strongly believe no one should be harmed by the work they do. This is why we come together to share knowledge and use this to make a difference on the ground, where it really matters, to improve the lives of workers.

I am looking forward to working with the Committee & branch members to make our program interesting, positive, and influential. We have a real opportunity to change the world of work and I am committed to supporting the vision for the Qatar Branch and the wider community.

Thank you once again for your dedication and for being a part of our esteemed IOSH Qatar Branch. Let us continue working together to create safer and healthier workplaces for everyone.

Wishing you all the very best.

Sincerely,
Venkatesan Kulandaivelu, CSP, CFIOSH
Chair – IOSH Qatar Branch
