Developing safety leaders in Qatar
How the IOSH Level 6 Diploma helped three OSH professionals strengthen their leadership impact
Three professionals, one shared goal
For occupational safety and health professionals Yasser Berzan, Mohammed Adil and Edward Oluwasoga Akinyodo, completing the IOSH Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health Leadership and Management has helped them strengthen the skills and knowledge needed to lead, influence and make impact in the workplace.
Working in Qatar, each has experienced how the qualification can support professionals looking to develop beyond technical safety knowledge and take on greater strategic responsibility.
Building strategic leadership skills
For Yasser Berzan, Senior Safety Specialist at Ashghal, the qualification marked an important step in his professional development.
“Earning the IOSH Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health Leadership and Management has been a pivotal moment in my career.”

He says the programme strengthened his strategic leadership skills and developed his capabilities in areas including complex risk management, legal compliance and influencing safety culture.
Applying leadership in complex environments
Mohammed Adil, an OSH professional at Ashghal, had a similarly positive experience. He says the qualification strengthened his capabilities in safety leadership and strategic risk management, particularly within complex and high-risk working environments.
For Chemical and Process Safety Engineer Edward Oluwasoga Akindoyo, the value of the qualification lies in helping OSH professionals turn their knowledge into action. He highlights the importance of influencing behaviour, embedding risk management into operations and developing the leadership capabilities needed to help create safer workplaces.
A shared learning journey
While their professional experiences are different, all three completed the IOSH Level 6 Diploma through OSH Tree Training and Consultancy.
Arun Perumal, Founder and Lead Corporate Trainer at OSH Tree, has seen the commitment learners bring to the qualification and the impact their development can have beyond the classroom.
“Our learners consistently show dedication and resilience while balancing their professional and personal commitments. It’s inspiring to see them apply their learning to create safer workplaces.”
