These positions are designed to ensure that all site activities are carried out under strict safety authorization and regulatory compliance. The Work Permit Receiver (WPR) and Safety Officer roles are particularly important in high-risk environments where chemical, petrochemical, and construction activities are performed daily. Their main purpose is to control hazardous work, verify safety conditions, and ensure that no task begins without proper authorization. These roles directly contribute to accident prevention, operational discipline, and smooth workflow across industrial facilities. In large-scale projects, especially under authorized contractors, these professionals act as a critical link between management, workers, and safety departments.

This includes coordinating with supervisors, verifying job site readiness, and ensuring that all safety checks are completed before work begins. They must ensure proper isolation of equipment, confirm hazard identification, and maintain accurate permit documentation. The Safety Officer is responsible for conducting site inspections, monitoring compliance with safety procedures, and ensuring that workers follow industrial safety standards at all times. They identify potential risks, report unsafe conditions, and enforce corrective actions immediately. Both roles require constant communication with project teams to ensure that all activities are executed safely and according to approved guidelines. Additionally, they must maintain records, support audits, and ensure compliance with client requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

The Safety Officer must have solid experience in industrial safety management, hazard identification, and emergency response procedures.

Knowledge of Ajeer regulations is mandatory, along with the ability to maintain proper documentation and follow strict compliance rules.
