Health and safety are poor at construction stadiums in Qatar
Independent researchers are publishing the first report on the working conditions of workers in Qatar. From now on, the Impact Ltd, with human rights experts, publishes annually on the construction work of the football stadiums for the 2022 World Cup. Nothing is said in the first report about possible deaths.
When one looks at the impact of the Workers ' Welfare Standards for the 15,000 workers in Qatar, then the report makes a distinction between different areas where construction companies fall short. High risks were found in the field of working conditions, including health and safety, contracts and administration, and living conditions. Workers live in small houses and they often lack healthy food and medical care.
In addition, human rights experts have several smaller recommendations. This concerns in particular risks in the area of ??paying arrears of wages for workers, paying bribes between contractors, and an adequate personnel administration that, in addition to the obligations, also defines the rights of employees.
HE Hassan Al Thawadi, president of the organization of the 2022 World Cup, welcomes the report, commissioned by FIFA and the organization. According to him, the research indicates that Qatar is constantly improving working conditions for workers at the stadiums of the first football World Cup in the Middle East.
" We have always believed that World Cup 2022 will be a catalyst for positive initiatives in Qatar, including important and sustainable improvements in working conditions, " said Al Thawadi. " Although the findings still show a number of risk areas and areas for improvement, they also demonstrate the dedication of the organization to continually improve them. "
" We do everything necessary to ensure that the points for attention are sufficiently addressed. We respect Impactt's research and independence during their research and observations, " he added.
The report says that the host country for the World Football Championship has made significant progress since the Workers ' Welfare Standards have been introduced. The bodies involved in the construction of the football temples are increasingly showing their interest in improvements.
