The Safety Officer / Work Permit Receiver (WPR) role is a key position in construction and industrial projects across Saudi Arabia, ensuring that all site operations are carried out safely and in compliance with approved regulations. This role is vital in preventing workplace accidents, maintaining safety discipline, and ensuring that all activities follow proper authorization procedures. Safety Officers focus on monitoring hazards, enforcing safety standards, and guiding workers to follow protective measures, while WPR professionals are responsible for controlling and issuing work permits before any task begins. In companies such as Yousuf Ghazai Al Rashidi Gen. Cont. Est., these positions play an important role in supporting smooth project execution and maintaining high safety standards on site.
Key Responsibilities
The Safety Officer is responsible for conducting regular site inspections, identifying unsafe conditions, and implementing corrective measures to eliminate risks. They must ensure all workers are using proper PPE and following safety procedures at all times. Reporting incidents, preparing safety documentation, and coordinating with supervisors and engineers are also part of the role. The WPR is responsible for verifying and issuing work permits, ensuring that only authorized and safe work activities are carried out on site. They must maintain proper records of permits, communicate safety requirements to teams, and ensure strict compliance with company safety rules. Both roles require continuous monitoring of site activities and coordination with management to maintain a safe and productive working environment.

Applicants must have strong knowledge of construction safety standards, risk assessment, and occupational health regulations. Familiarity with SAFCO and Arrazi-approved systems is essential for working on regulated Saudi projects. A valid Arrazi ID is required for Safety Officers, while WPR candidates must hold a valid SAFCO ID. Candidates should be experienced in handling site safety procedures, emergency response planning, and permit-to-work systems.
