Qatar Airways has obtained ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification, awarded by Bureau Veritas.

We have demonstrably reduced the factors that lead to work-related injuries and thereby improved the lifestyle of our employees. Qatar Airways is an industry leader, and we are proud to have attained our 14th ISO certification.”
