This handbook contains the minimum safety rules applicable to employees, contractors, or anyone performing Saudi Aramco work activities. Compliance to these rules is a condition of employment for Saudi Aramco employees and a contractual obligation for contractor employees. In the event no Saudi Aramco general instruction, engineering standard, policy, or procedure exists that addresses a particular hazard, then the Safety Handbook shall govern. In case of conflicting requirements, the applicable Saudi Aramco general instruction(s) or engineering standard(s) shall take priority over this Safety Handbook. There are many applications to safety — many more than can be addressed in such a handbook. If you see an unsafe condition or behavior, do not disregard it because it is not listed in this handbook. For additional information, consult related Saudi Aramco reference materials.
