About

I am a Safety Advisor based in Saudi Arabia with practical experience on major projects, including crude expansion and gas‑oil separation facilities. Through SafePro I support contractors and small companies in Saudi Arabia, especially those working on Saudi Aramco projects, to comply with NEBOSH, BCSP, OSHA, Saudi Aramco and international safety requirements. Many contractors must prepare risk assessments, JSAs and method statements, respond to client comments, and keep projects on schedule. Often they do not have a full‑time safety specialist. SafePro provides remote support through: • Project safety documentation packs (risk assessments, JSAs, method statements and related documents). • Review and improvement of existing safety documents against NEBOSH, BCSP, OSHA, Saudi Aramco and international requirements. • Ongoing remote safety advisor support for contractors who need regular guidance but cannot employ a full‑time safety professional. My focus is on simple, usable documents and advice that work in the field and satisfy client and regulatory expectations. If you are a contractor working in Saudi Arabia and you need support with safety documentation or remote advisory services, you are welcome to contact me here on LinkedIn.
