HSE & Safety Training in Saudi Arabia | OSHA · First Aid · IOSH · Food Safety | PITC KSA
Saudi Arabia's Accredited Safety Training Centre for Oil & Gas, Construction & Corporate Sectors
Progressive International Training Center (PITC KSA) is a Saudi-based, internationally accredited provider of HSE training, safety certifications, and environmental consultancy services. From our primary training centre in Jubail Industrial City, we deliver OSHA, First Aid, BLS, IOSH, Work at Height, and Highfield Food Safety programs to individuals, safety officers, and corporate clients across Dammam, Al Khobar, Riyadh, Jeddah, and every major industrial hub in the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia’s industrial expansion — driven by Vision 2030 giga projects, sustained oil and gas production, and an accelerating construction sector — has created an unprecedented demand for qualified safety professionals. Saudi Labour Law mandates safety training for all high-risk workplaces. Saudi Aramco, SABIC, Sadara, and the Royal Commission Jubail each impose stringent HSE certification requirements on contractors and vendors. PITC KSA exists to help individuals and companies meet — and exceed — these requirements with world-class, certificate-ready training that is recognised across the Kingdom and internationally.
Whether you are an HSE Manager building a compliant workforce, a safety officer pursuing career-enhancing certification, or a multinational contractor qualifying a new site team — PITC KSA delivers the right course, at the right location, in both Arabic and English.

Why HSE Training Is Mandatory in Saudi Arabia
HSE training in Saudi Arabia is not optional — it is a legal, regulatory, and commercial requirement woven into every layer of the Kingdom’s industrial framework. Understanding these obligations is the first step for any employer, HSE manager, or project manager building a compliant workforce.
Saudi Labour Law & OSHA Saudi Arabia Requirements
Saudi Labour Law — specifically Articles 121 to 126 of the Labour Code — requires all employers to provide a safe working environment, conduct regular risk assessments, and ensure that employees in hazardous roles receive documented safety training. The Ministry of Human Resources enforces these requirements, and non-compliance can result in fines, site shutdowns, and criminal liability for responsible managers. The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organisation (SASO) and General Authority for Statistics both record workplace injury data that directly influences regulatory inspections across the Eastern Province.
Beyond domestic law, international OSHA standards — particularly OSHA 29 CFR 1910 (General Industry) and 1926 (Construction) — are referenced explicitly in contracts with multinational EPC companies, US-listed operators, and joint ventures such as Saudi Aramco JV entities. Holding an OSHA 10-hour or OSHA 30-hour certification from a recognized provider like PITC KSA signals compliance readiness to these international clients.
🔑 OSHA Saudi Arabia · Saudi Labour Law safety training · OSHA 10 30 hours Jubail · HSE compliance KSA
Saudi Aramco, SABIC & Royal Commission Contractor Requirements
Contractor pre-qualification for Saudi Aramco — specifically the IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) and SAPID (Saudi Aramco Project Management and Industrial Development) frameworks — includes mandatory HSE training criteria. Safety officers, supervisors, and maintenance leads on Aramco-linked sites must hold current certifications from approved bodies. PITC KSA’s certificates — issued by OSHA (USA), Saudi Heart Association, IOSH, and Highfield — are accepted under these frameworks.
SABIC vendor requirements similarly mandate that all site personnel hold valid First Aid and BLS certificates, and that on-site HSE officers hold IOSH or equivalent qualifications. The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu applies comparable requirements to all contractors operating within its industrial cities, including OSHA certification for supervisory roles and Highfield Food Safety certification for catering and hospitality contractors operating on Commission-managed facilities.

Our Accredited Training Programs
PITC KSA offers a comprehensive portfolio of HSE and safety training programs, each accredited by a globally recognised body and designed to meet the specific demands of Saudi Arabia’s industrial, construction, and corporate sectors.
OSHA Training — 10 & 30 Hour Courses in Saudi Arabia
PITC KSA is an authorised OSHA Outreach Training provider for both the 10-hour and 30-hour programs under OSHA 29 CFR 1910 (General Industry) and OSHA 29 CFR 1926 (Construction).

Delivered over 2 days, it is ideal for frontline workers, equipment operators, and new site entrants. The OSHA 30-hour course is a 4 to 5-day advanced program for supervisors, safety officers, and HSE managers — covering hazard identification, incident investigation, fall protection, electrical safety, scaffolding, and emergency action planning in depth.
Both courses are available in Arabic and English, with bilingual instruction available on request. Certificates are issued directly by OSHA (USA) and are internationally portable — recognised in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and on international projects globally. PITC KSA delivers OSHA courses in Jubail, Dammam, Riyadh, and on-site at client facilities across the Kingdom.
