(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) has been recognized with the "Prestigious RoSPA Gold Award" by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), UK, for the year 2025.

This global recognition was achieved thanks to the collaborative efforts and innovation of Qatar Rail, and its service provider, RKH's Occupational Health and Safety Teams, supported by robust health and safety management systems across all operations, said a press release from Qatar Rail.

The RoSPA Adjudication Panel evaluated Qatar Rail's practices across a wide range of categories, including leadership, workforce involvement, planning and risk assessment, communication, monitoring, investigation, and performance review, among others.

On this occasion, Senior QSHESE Director at Qatar Rail Eng.

Winning the RoSPA Gold Award places Qatar Rail among an elite group of international organizations that have demonstrated world-class leadership in health and safety. The award is particularly significant as it is recognized across industries globally, from transport and infrastructure to energy and healthcare, making it a hallmark of international excellence and trust.

In 2017, Qatar Rail won three international awards from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for the Lusail Tram and the Doha Metro Gold and Green Lines.
