工伤（WRI）控制是职业安全的一个组成部分。在卡塔尔等快速发展的海湾国家，劳动力主要是外籍人士，WRI 控制是一个复杂的问题，经常与劳动法和劳工权利的实施结合起来。我们的目标是实施公共卫生方法，以促进卡塔尔实现长期 WRI 控制的努力。一系列举措有助于提高这一重要公共卫生问题的知名度和势头，包括确定关键利益相关者并与他们互动、进行工人调查、建立统一伤害数据库的步骤以及在电子病历中实施 WRI 识别工具。同时，还通过加强工作场所检查和努力改善农民工的生活条件，加强了现有职业安全法规的执行。 WRI 不仅是卡塔尔特有的问题，也是卡塔尔特有的问题。邻近的海湾国家和其他拥有大量外籍工人的快速发展经济体也面临着同样的问题。对于有兴趣培养安全、健康和高效劳动力的类似国家来说，这些战略也是有用的起点。
Work-related injury (WRI) control is an integral part of occupational safety. In rapidly developing Gulf countries such as Qatar with a predominantly expatriate workforce, WRI control is a complex issue often seen in conjunction with the implementation of labour laws and labour rights. We aimed to implement a public health approach to facilitate efforts to achieve long-term WRI control in Qatar. A range of initiatives helped to gain visibility and momentum for this important public health problem, including identifying and engaging with key stakeholders, workers’ surveys, steps to establish a unified injury database, and the implementation of a WRI identification tool in the electronic medical records. A contemporaneous improved enforcement of existent occupational safety regulations through heightened worksite inspections and efforts to improve living conditions for migrant workers also took place. WRIs are not only a Qatar-specific problem; the same issues are faced by neighbouring Gulf countries and other rapidly developing economies with large expatriate worker populations. These strategies are also useful starting points for similar countries interested in nurturing a safe, healthy and productive workforce.
