Document background
The Contractor Safety Policy serves as a crucial document for organizations operating in Saudi Arabia that engage external contractors for various works and services. This policy is essential for ensuring compliance with Saudi Labor Law, MHRSD regulations, and other relevant safety requirements while maintaining international safety standards. The document becomes necessary when organizations regularly employ contractors for maintenance, construction, or operational activities, particularly in high-risk industries. It outlines comprehensive safety procedures, risk management approaches, and compliance requirements specific to the Saudi Arabian context, including Islamic work principles where applicable. The policy typically integrates local regulatory requirements with company-specific safety standards, creating a framework that protects both the organization and its contractor workforce.
