The Contractor Health and Safety Policy serves as a fundamental document for organizations operating in Saudi Arabia that engage contractors or subcontractors in their operations. This policy is essential for ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabian safety regulations, including the Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51), Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, and relevant SASO standards. It becomes particularly crucial when organizations undertake projects involving multiple contractors, high-risk activities, or operations in challenging environments. The policy addresses both universal safety principles and specific requirements unique to the Saudi Arabian context, such as religious considerations and extreme weather conditions. It provides a structured framework for managing contractor safety, defining responsibilities, establishing safety protocols, and ensuring proper documentation of safety measures.
