Contractor Pre-Job
Safety Explanation Meetings Guide
1. PURPOSE
This Safety Management Guide is intended to assist managers in meeting their
responsibilities as outlined in Element 1 of the Saudi Aramco Safety Management System
(SMS) manual to “…communicate safety rules and standards to all employees and
contractors” and to “visibly demonstrate the priority of safety” in their organization. This
guide will assist Saudi Aramco proponent organizations in properly conducting pre-job
safety explanation meetings with contractor companies before they prepare a bid for a
Saudi Aramco contract and before they begin work on a new contract, in order to help
meet the expectation of SMS Element 7 to “Communicate safety standards and
information to contractors.”
2. GENERAL OVERVIEW
In accordance with the Saudi Aramco Contractor Safety Administrative Requirements
(CSAR), the proponent organization will communicate relevant general and site-specific
safety standards and information to the contractor during pre-job safety explanation
meetings. There are two types of pre-job safety explanation meetings where this formal
communication occurs, both of which involve proponent organizations.
First, a Job Explanation (Job X) Meeting is held to inform potential bidders on a new
contract of the work to be performed and to explain Saudi Aramco’s safety, health and
environmental requirements, especially the primary administrative requirements
applicable to potential bidders. Second, after the contract has been awarded, a Kick-Off
Meeting is held with contractor company management and/or site representatives before
they begin work activity (including mobilization). The Kick-Off Meeting includes a
detailed explanation of Saudi Aramco’s general and site-specific safety, health and
environmental requirements and hazards. The information communicated at these
meetings may not represent all areas of potential hazard to the contractor/subcontractor
personnel and equipment. It is the contractor’s responsibility to fully comply with the
contract, including identifying and addressing all potential safety, health and
environmental hazards,
Following the pre-job safety explanation meeting, the proponent should schedule a site
hazard identification tour with the contractor representative(s) with participation by Saudi
Aramco Loss Prevention Department (LPD), as required.
Contracting Department is Saudi Aramco’s custodian of the Job Explanation Meeting
process through the Saudi Aramco Contracting Manual, especially Procedure 7 entitled
“Releasing Invitations for Proposals and Convening Job Explanation Meetings.” This
Safety Management Guide complements Procedure 7 by providing guidance for the
safety, health and environmental requirements to be discussed during Job Explanation
and Kick-Off Meetings.
Guide Number 07-003-2012 Page 1 of 44

3. SAMPLE PROGRAM MATERIALS
Attachments A1 and A2 of this Guide contain recommended procedures for properly
conducting the safety, health and environmental portions of Job Explanation and Kick-
Off Meetings, respectively. These recommended procedures provide a basis for
proponent organizations to develop and implement their own local procedures (e.g., as an
OIM, RIM, GOI, etc.).

review of their qualifications and require the contractor to replace any of the safety staff whose
work is deemed unacceptable. Site safety staff positions are to be filled prior to commencement
of on-site work and remain filled until completion of work under the contract.
Site safety staff shall be present at the job site at all times while contractor and/or subcontractor
personnel are working, including nights, weekends and extended working hours. Contractor
safety staff personnel shall not be assigned dual roles (e.g., not a site safety officer and the
scaffold inspector).
Site safety manager/supervisor(s) shall visibly demonstrate the priority of safety in all
activities, include fulfilling the following responsibilities:
 Accountable for the performance of safety officers under his authority;

Attachment A5
 Empowered (in writing by contractor management) to stop their own work and any
work related to the contract they deem to be unsafe and take corrective actions as
needed;
 Understand Saudi Aramco safety and health requirements of the contract, in particular
Schedule D, Construction Safety Manual, and the contract’s respective HIP;
 Ensure all contractor/subcontractor personnel attend site safety orientations and
applicable safety training;
 Communicate safety rules and standards to contractor/subcontractor workforce;
 Periodically inspect the work site, report any unsafe acts/conditions, provide
recommendations to correct deficiencies and follow up on action items;

vehicle accidents, property damage, crane and heavy equipment incidents, etc.
 Participate in incident investigations, safety meetings, emergency drills, etc.;
 Ensure general safety rules are printed (and posted in visible locations) in languages
understood by contractor/subcontractor personnel;
3. JOINT MEETING
Since there may be limited time at this Kick-Off Meeting to fully cover all the various aspects
of the contract and applicable safety requirements, the contractor and Safety
Manager/Supervisor(s) is invited to participate in a separate meeting to more fully discuss
safety requirements.
4. CONTRACTOR’S SAFETY PROGRAM, CSSP AND HIP
A copy of the latest revision of the Saudi Aramco Safety Handbook (SASH) or local
department’s safety handbook, and Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual (CSM) has
been, or will be, provided to the contractor for reference and use. Electronic copies are also
available, and will be provided upon request. (Handout #1 -Saudi Aramco Safety Handbook,
Handout #2 – Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual)
The contractor shall establish a corporate (companywide) safety program that shall be fully
implemented at each work site. This program shall be aligned with Saudi Aramco’s safety
requirements and shall govern how safety is managed throughout the contractor company.
The contractor shall properly plan and establish job-specific safe work procedures for all
contracted work. For long form capital construction projects where SAPMT is the proponent

Attachment A5
(or as requested in writing by the SAPO) the contractor shall develop, implement and adhere to
a job-specific contractor site safety program (CSSP) that conform to the requirements of the
contract, the CSM and all other applicable SA safety requirements.
For all contracts, the contractor and/or their subcontractor(s) shall develop, implement and
adhere to a contract-specific Hazard Identification Plan (HIP). The HIP shall list all
tasks/activities associated with the contracted work, potential hazards of each activity and
control measures to mitigate these hazards.
Three (3) copies of the CSSP (if required) and HIP, along with all pre-mobilization required
drawings and plans, shall be submitted to the SAPO for review and concurrence within fifteen
(15) working days of contract execution. Two (2) copies of the final CSSP and HIP shall be
furnished to the SAPO upon final approval, and additional copies will be available at the job
site.
A list of the Saudi Aramco required approvals, certifications, documentation, etc. is attached
for the contractor’s information (see Attachment A3, Part D). This list may not be complete. It
is the contractor’s responsibility, not Saudi Aramco’s, to obtain all necessary approvals and
certifications. (Handout #3 – Approvals / Certifications Attachment)
5. SAFETY ORIENTATION, TRAINING AND MEETINGS
Contractor and subcontractor personnel must attend a facility-specific safety orientation prior to
being allowed to work on-site. Unless provided by the SAPO, the contractor shall provide
translation of the safety orientation presentation(s) and materials into languages understood by
their employees.
Contractor site supervision shall conduct weekly safety meetings. Attendees should include
subcontractor’s site personnel. These meeting should cover work related hazards, related job
