Qatari researchers are investigating what caused the wall of a search trench to collapse at the site of a structure in the medical city of Hamad yesterday, killing one man and injuring two others.

One man died at the site after the floor fell on him, while two others were taken to Hamad Hospital for treatment, Ashghal said Monday night.

Ditches are dug at the structure sites to involve underground electrical cables or water and sewer lines that would be connected to a new building.
Workers were building a new medical simulation center on Ahmed Bin Ali Street, near the C-Ring and Al-Rayyan roads.
On his website, Al-Balagh said the 13,000-square-foot school includes classrooms, an auditorium and exam and operations rooms.
Ashghal, who oversees the assignment of the simulation center, said he would take the security measures that were in place and apologized for the incident:
“Ashghal greatly regrets this tragic turn of fate, and took immediate action when the turn of fate occurred when he stopped the paintings at the assignment site and began a thorough investigation into Ashghal’s appearance to locate the motives and identify the culprits. and make them guilty in case there were any. It was a flaw in his appearance.
All protection procedures implemented through the allocation contractor and the allocation representative shall be reviewed and Ashghal shall take all necessary measures in this regard.
It is not known why the trench collapsed or what safety measures were taken at the site.
Internationally, adding in the United States, some bureaucracy of hedging measures, such as supports to prevent collapses, is needed when ditches more than 1. 5 m deep are dug.

Human rights teams have in the past criticized security situations at progression sites in Qatar.
In its 2013 report on the country’s structure sector, Amnesty International noted a number of shortcomings, including the inability of some corporations to supply helmets to workers, and concluded:
“There is evidence that employers in the structure sector do not protect fitness and protection. Array. . . the fact that some employers do not seem to take their day-to-day protective and fitness work seriously is obviously a wonderful fear given the knowledge you have about serious occupational injuries, which are the main cause of injury income at Hamad General Hospital after primary vehicle accidents. “
However, some workers concerned about the expansion of the HMC campus described a strong culture of protection at this specific site.
Cheryl Mariano, a subcontractor working on some other component of the property, said she and her colleagues are guilty of taking mandatory precautions on a basis.
“This (accident) was not planned,” he told Doha News. ” No one can paint without a security guard on site. From the smallest things to the biggest problems, we, as subcontractors, are reminded of security. “
thoughts
Security first! Yes, but you can’t wait for the turn of fate when it hits.
Yes, but it is not an unusual activity whose risks are well known, it is highly preventable and a tragic loss of life.
Accidents can be prevented. Forget the alibis.
p. s. you were right about the fact that security is questionable.
In most of these places, HSE policies and threat control aim to download certification and give a charming and positive symbol of the organization, however, actually, the practices followed on their sites are something they wouldn’t want to communicate or see others. . Senior managers, managers, security guards, etc. , leave their offices from time to time and check that the security practices for which they have been qualified are followed and that the corporations that certify those organizations bring wonderful checks. And don’t wait for the next, audit to make sure protection practices are being followed.
So true! Said
It is no secret that government in most countries is reactive rather than proactive. The difference between the two is the lives of other people (for the most disadvantaged sectors of society) it doesn’t seem like much to them.
Safety First symptoms are visual at all tourist sites in the city, race practices, the use of criteria, etc. , are not used lightly. Having a trench that gives way to other people in the trench, as published in the article, is 99% unavoidable if they meet the appropriate ty criteria; however, when it doesn’t, a sign and a green helmet deserve to be enough. Workers want to be informed to know what a painting practice is and what it is, and be trained to prevent paintings if their type is at risk. This practice is not unusual in countries with a strong regulatory environment, which deserve to be a Criterion treated in Qatar at the highest level. In all sectors, not just in life, and in all facets of life, from driving to race conditions, there is a general lack of regulation or correct application or both.
When it comes to security, don’t limit yourself too much, but there can be enough room for too little!
Like those who died in the septic tank last year, the dangers of digging unsafe trenches are well understood, as well as the protective precautions to be applied. Unfortunately, injuries like this are common worldwide (even in the UK and US). ), so strict regulation is for negligence to be brought to justice.
My delight with giant sellers in Qatar is that they put a lot of effort into fitness and protection when running on government projects, and some have adequate protection records. corners that are the problem.
I absolutely agree. There is also the need for careful monitoring, as many employees are unaware of the dangers and dangers. A friend spent many hours trying to convince the painter to wear a protective harness, to perceive it, to put it on, what it was for. “He’s saving you. ” But they were reluctant and did not perceive, as soon as he returned they took him away. Then, if they got rid of him, he was fined. It’s not his fault, of course, but we assume many expats grew up in jealous security cultures. It’s horrible, I hope Ashghal suppresses his businessmen. This can be achieved with well-drafted paint contracts.
This sums up the degree to which Qatar values human life . . . ArrayArrayArray “Ashghal is incredibly sorry for this tragic twist of fate, and took immediate action when the turn of fate happened when he stopped painting at the assignment site” . . . . . paintingsing on the assignment site? There is no mention of lost life, his circle of relatives or the wounded. Array. . Array The prosecution rests!
yes, all HSE corporations but also social responsibility. . . . In theory.
Inna lillahi raji3oen. What a loss. It will be a dark day for your circle of family and friends to hear this lousy news, let’s say they’re not here, it makes things worse, I wish everyone a lot of patience.
My deepest condolences to the deceased worker’s family circle. I hope they are well compensated for the lost life. At least in this case, I’d like someone to go to jail for criminal negligence.
Surely it is horrible, I wonder if any of the administrators have any idea what concern he will have to have felt even for a moment when he was buried alive or how his circle of relatives will not only cry but will care about how they will survive. if they imagined they were leaving their families, would they fight for proper investigation or greater compensation?The greatest tragedy is not the lack of security, but the inequality of the price of human life that we see over and over again.
No, as I quoted them, they worry about the paintings of the commission after the death of a reckless slave!
