  1. It was good to see these accomodations with my own eyes. It should not be just about workers and workers’ condition in Qatar alone, but, many other countries where there is no concern and effort made – India?? Efforts being made by certain contractors and authorities in Qatar must be appreciated. It is high time we raise the awareness and our commitment worldwide. Thank you Rod for posting this.

  2. Sirs,
    What was shown would be for managers and not for the workers. I was on site at Ras Laffan some years ago and I was taken care of very well. But the accommodation which I had, being British and management, was the same space that was shared by 12 site workers elsewhere on the compound who used central washing facilities and toilets whereas mine were within my accommodation albeit a converted site office.
    I have found in general the food supplied to the managers to be adequate and also that supplied to the workers but of lower quality as they have lesser expectations, but seem to enjoy the meals as they eat large amounts to sustain them although they have three meals a day usually two more than when at home. There are labour laws setting down the minimum requirements but it is to each company how they work within the laws. I am not aware of any inspections carried our by offsite independent inspectors.
