• The Project has already implemented an in-depth gap analysis, to identify the compliance of the OSH policies and legislation with the provisions of Convention 155. The results of the gap analysis have shown that the national legislation is largely aligned with C155, with few gaps remaining. The State of Qatar is studying the possible ratification of Convention 155 on OSH. In this context, the MOL and the ILO Project Office in Qatar organised a seminar with senior labour inspectors, in which ILO Doha and ILO Geneva experts presented the key aspects of the Convention and discussed the remaining gaps and other considerations in relation to the legal framework of Qatar. • A seminar on the Forced Labour Protocol (P29) was conducted by the ILO with MOL officials in October 2022. This builds on the gap analysis that was carried out last year. The seminar identified the key provisions of the Protocol, the areas where Qatar can enhance its policies and action plan, and the process for possible ratification.
