Who We Are
Built for the Eastern Province
We are Progressive International Training Center (PITC KSA) — an independent HSE consultancy and training operation based in Jubail. Not a Riyadh firm with a satellite office here — this is where our team lives and works. That matters when your site is in Jubail Industrial City and you need someone on-site by 7am.
Our background is HSE training, which means we understand what the gaps actually look like on the ground — not just on paper. When we audit a site or build a management system, the people doing it have spent years in similar Eastern Province facilities.

How We Work
What We Do
Consultancy Services
HSE advisory covering compliance, risk, environment, and emergency preparedness — built around the standards that actually matter in Saudi Arabia.
HSE Management System Development
We build or overhaul your HSE Management System to ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 requirements, structured for Aramco and SABIC contractor prequalification. Most companies we work with have documentation that exists but doesn’t reflect what happens on site. We fix that.
Risk Assessment & HAZID / HAZOP
Structured hazard identification and operability studies for construction sites, plant operations, and new project commissioning — including job safety analysis and COSHH assessments. Facilitated by engineers who have run these sessions in Eastern Province oil and gas facilities.
HSE Audits & Compliance Inspections
Independent gap assessments measured against Aramco GIs, SABIC standards, MHRSD digital HSE requirements, and Saudi labour law. You get a clear remediation plan, not a list of findings that sits in a drawer. We follow up on closure.
Environmental Impact Assessment
EIA preparation and review compliant with MEWA requirements for industrial, construction, and infrastructure projects. Includes air quality monitoring plans, waste management documentation, and environmental baseline studies where required.
Emergency Response Planning
Emergency Response Plan design and live drills, including Civil Defense coordination, muster point systems, mass casualty protocols, and fire risk assessments for industrial facilities. We test plans before you need them.
Contractor HSE Prequalification Support
Support for contractor firms seeking Aramco, SABIC, or Royal Commission Jubail vendor approval. We handle documentation preparation, gap closure, and audit-readiness — so you enter prequalification knowing where you stand.
HSE Officer Secondment
Qualified, site-experienced HSE officers placed on short or long-term secondment to cover project peaks, manpower gaps, or specific competency requirements. All seconded officers hold recognised international safety qualifications and valid Eastern Province site experience.
Incident Investigation & Root Cause
Independent investigation of workplace incidents using Bow-Tie, 5-Why, and fault tree methodologies — with regulatory reporting and corrective action planning. Clients use us specifically because they need an investigator with no stake in the outcome.
HSE Training Delivery
We run on-site HSE training in Arabic and English — from internationally accredited safety qualifications to toolbox talks customised for your workforce and site hazards. Our trainers carry real field experience, scheduled around your operations.
Why Choose Us
What Makes Us Different
No Conflicts
We are not affiliated with any contractor, vendor, or certifying body. When we write a gap report, it says what it says — nothing gets softened because of a commercial relationship.
Actually Local
We are based in Jubail, not visiting. We know the local MHRSD offices, the Aramco prequalification process, and the specific site conditions in the Eastern Province.
Training Backing
Our consultancy sits alongside an active HSE training operation. We identify gaps and have the in-house capacity to address them — same people, same standards, no hand-offs.
Vision 2030 Ready
We work with clients on NEOM, Red Sea Global, and Royal Commission projects. The HSE frameworks on those projects are demanding. We know what they require before the auditor arrives.
Industries We Serve
Target Sectors
Our core is oil, gas, and petrochemicals — but the pipeline of Vision 2030 construction and utilities work in the Eastern Province means that’s changing fast.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we get from contractors, facility managers, and project teams working in Saudi Arabia — answered directly.
What does an HSE consultant do on a Saudi construction project?
On a construction site in Saudi Arabia, an HSE consultant reviews and approves method statements and risk assessments before work starts, conducts site inspections, monitors permit-to-work compliance, and reports against client KPIs. For Aramco and SABIC contractors this also includes monthly HSE performance submissions and maintaining audit readiness at all times.
Is ISO 45001 mandatory for contractors in Saudi Arabia?
Not by law, but in practice it is required on most large contracts. Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and the Royal Commission for Jubail all require ISO 45001 compliance as part of contractor prequalification, and public-sector tenders increasingly list it as a minimum requirement.
How do I get approved as an Aramco HSE contractor?
Aramco prequalification requires a documented HSE Management System aligned to their Construction Safety Manual and over 60 General Instructions. You must demonstrate a functioning system, including incident reporting history, workforce competency records, and evidence of safety culture, not just paper policies.
What HSE regulations apply to employers in Saudi Arabia?
The primary framework is the Saudi Labour Law administered by MHRSD, which now requires digital HSE reporting through Qiwa and Musaned for certain sectors. Industrial and construction work adds requirements from Saudi Civil Defense, MEWA, and sector standards from Aramco, SABIC, and the Royal Commission.
What is the difference between HSE consultancy and HSE training?
Training delivers knowledge and competency to individuals such as safety officers and supervisors. Consultancy reviews the organisation’s systems, documents, and site conditions and advises on what needs to change. PITC KSA delivers both, so diagnosis and fix happen together.
How long does it take to get ISO 45001 certified in Saudi Arabia?
For a company starting from scratch, a realistic timeline is four to six months from gap assessment to certification audit. Companies with an existing documented safety system can reach certification in two to three months.
Do we need a full-time HSE officer on site in Saudi Arabia?
It depends on the contract and client. Aramco’s Construction Safety Manual sets minimum HSE staffing ratios by workforce size, typically one safety officer per 50 workers on high-risk activities. For short-term needs our secondment service places qualified HSE officers on a fixed-term basis.
What does an HSE audit report actually include?
A credible report covers the standard you were assessed against, what was observed on site, and what is required to close the gap. PITC KSA reports include a compliance matrix mapped to the relevant standard, photographic evidence, and a prioritised corrective action plan with owners and closure deadlines.
