Doha: The Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs (MADLSA) announced that three contracting and construction companies at a worksite in the Pearl were found violating health and safety policies and measures that should be followed when workers enter buses as well as not keeping precautionary distances and overcrowding inside the bus.

In coordination with the security authorities, necessary measures were taken against the engineers responsible for the site and they have been referred to further investigation, the MADLSA said in a statement today.
