Texas A&M University at Qatar, a branch campus located in Doha, Qatar since 2003, operates over thirty research and academic laboratories in a variety of science and engineering disciplines.  The staff and faculty have faced multiple challenges in building and maintaining a philosophy of safety within the student and research body.  These challenges include abiding by local laws, regulations and social customs, being physically isolated from the home campus, various building and facility related issues, and creating a safety culture within a student and researcher population previously unexposed to a well-regulated safety program.
