The Ministry of Labour in Qatar recognized Galfar Al Misnad's consistent efforts towards protecting the #healthandsafety of our employees in the work place at an event organized by the Ministry to observe the World Day for Safety and Health At Work, which is commemorated on April 28th every year.

Our Executive Director Mr. Satish G Pillai & Senior General Manager Mr. Hemachandran received the award from the Qatar Minister of Labour, His Excellency Dr Ali bin Saeed bin Smaikh Al Marri, at the event.

This is a great honour for Galfar Al Misnad, as we have been working on very challenging projects in a vast range of sectors in the country for more than 26 years, and mostly engage with direct manpower. Such recognition reaffirms our commitment towards safety and is a motivation for the team to do even better. We congratulate Mr. Navaneetha Shetty, Head of QHSE, Mr.Venkatesan K, Corporate HSE Manager, and their team for this success, and for ensuring that Health, Safety and Environment regulations are always complied with across the company.

 

 

 

At Galfar Al Misnad our women employees hold important positions at all levels of the organization. As women working in the construction industry, each lady is a living testament to the IWD2022 theme - Break The Bias”.

Their diverse roles have bolstered the progress of the company, and brought in valuable gender diversity into our workspace. Though a small community, this tribe of Galfar Women enjoy a constructive and close sisterhood. This was celebrated today at a special International Womens Day event attended by the company's Executive Director, Satish G Pillai, and Senior GM Human Resources, Joy G. Pettah.
