HSE
Consultancy for Companies in Saudi Arabia
Every company employing people in Saudi Arabia has HSE obligations under Saudi Labour Law. Every company supplying to Saudi Aramco, SABIC, or a major Vision 2030 project contractor faces additional contractual HSE requirements. And every company that experiences a workplace incident faces legal, financial, and human consequences that can be severe.
The reality for many SMEs, growing contractors, newly established operations, and companies scaling up to meet Saudi project demand is that they need professional HSE management but cannot justify — or do not yet need — a full-time senior HSE hire. EFTC’s HSE Consultancy provides exactly what these companies need: experienced, qualified safety practitioners who function as your external HSE team — designing your systems, conducting your assessments, managing your compliance documentation, and supporting you through every audit and inspection.

Our HSE Consultancy Services
A professionally written, legally compliant HSE policy is the foundation of every management system. EFTC develops bespoke HSE policies tailored to your industry, operational risk profile, and Saudi Labour Law obligations. Policies are bilingual (Arabic and English), signed at the appropriate management level, and communicated to your workforce in a format they will actually read and understand.
We conduct structured, documented risk assessments across your operations — identifying hazards, evaluating risk using the internationally recognised likelihood × severity matrix, and specifying controls aligned with the Hierarchy of Control. Risk assessments are produced in a legally defensible format accepted by Saudi regulators and client HSE auditors. All assessments are reviewed and updated on a scheduled cycle and following incidents or workplace changes.
We conduct systematic compliance audits measuring your organisation’s actual performance against Saudi Labour Law Articles 121–134, SASO safety standards, sector-specific regulations (SFDA, Saudi Civil Defence, SCECO), and applicable ISO/OSHA principles. Findings are graded by urgency, with a structured improvement action plan and management-ready executive summary report.
When a workplace incident occurs, the quality of the investigation determines whether it prevents recurrence. EFTC’s practitioners conduct structured root cause investigations using ICAM, Fault Tree Analysis, and the 5-Why technique — producing investigation reports in the format required by Saudi Labour authorities and client HSE plans, including corrective action plans with deadlines and responsibility assignments.
For organisations that need a complete HSE management system from the ground up, EFTC designs and implements a fully documented system aligned with ISO 45001:2018 — covering policy, hazard identification, legal compliance, operational controls, emergency planning, monitoring, incident management, internal audit, and management review. Built to scale with your organisation and to satisfy Aramco, SABIC, and major contractor audits from day one.
Saudi Civil Defence regulations require every workplace to maintain a documented Emergency Response Plan. EFTC develops comprehensive ERPs covering fire, explosion, chemical spill, medical emergency, and severe weather scenarios — complete with evacuation procedures, assembly point management, role assignments, and multilingual communication protocols. We also facilitate emergency drills and post-drill debriefs.
Compliance gets you to the floor; safety culture determines how far above it you operate. EFTC conducts structured safety culture assessments using validated observation and survey instruments, producing a maturity level report and a targeted culture improvement programme. Particularly valuable for organisations that have achieved compliance but want to move towards genuine safety excellence.
For companies that need continuous HSE management without the cost of a full-time hire, EFTC provides a monthly retained service. Your dedicated EFTC consultant delivers a defined number of on-site days per month, manages HSE documentation, conducts scheduled inspections and risk assessments, attends client and regulatory audits, and provides responsive support for incidents and day-to-day HSE queries. Available across all of Saudi Arabia.
