One is Too Many: The Collection and Analysis of Data on Occupational Injuries in Qatar
"An in-depth analysis of work-related deaths and injuries in Qatar by the International Labour Organization, has shown that 50 workers lost their lives in 2020 and just over 500 were severely injured, with 37,600 suffering mild to moderate injuries. Most were suffered by migrant workers from Bangladesh, India and Nepal, mainly in the construction industry. Falls from height and road traffic accidents were the top causes of severe injuries, followed by falling objects on worksites."
"The report, One is too many: The collection and analysis of data on occupational injuries in Qatar, provides the most complete and accurate picture of work-related deaths and injuries ever compiled in the country. Its findings are based on data collected from all medical institutions that provide acute care for injured workers in the country. Publication of the report follows growing calls for greater transparency and accountability on work-related deaths in Qatar, particularly those relating to World Cup infrastructure projects."
"[The report] calls for better quality and more accurate data collection, with more efforts to investigate injuries and fatalities that may be work-related but are not currently categorized as such. This will ensure workers and their family members receive due compensation in case of occupational injuries. Such investigations should be carried out by medical professionals as well as by labour inspectors. The Ministry of Public Health should also set up a national integrated platform that pulls together timely and reliable occupational injury data, the report says."
