At Al Tahani Al Daimah, we care deeply about safety in the workplace. That’s why we supply high-quality Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that meets international and local safety standards. If you work in construction, oil and gas, industrial, or maintenance fields in Saudi Arabia, it’s important to understand OSHA guidelines and the local PPE standards set by authorities in the Kingdom.
What is OSHA?
OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a U.S.-based agency that sets safety standards to protect workers. While OSHA is American, many of its safety rules are followed worldwide, especially in international companies operating in Saudi Arabia. OSHA provides clear guidelines on which types of PPE are required in different work environments. These include:
Following OSHA standards helps reduce injuries, prevent accidents, and protect workers from long-term health risks.
PPE Standards in Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia, PPE standards are enforced by local regulatory bodies such as:
-
Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development
-
Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO)
-
Saudi Aramco and other large industries with internal safety policies
These organizations require that businesses provide PPE that meets approved specifications. For example:
-
Safety helmets must protect against heat and impact
-
High-visibility clothing is required in areas with heavy equipment
-
Respiratory protection must be worn in dusty or chemical-heavy environments
-
Electrical safety gloves and boots are a must in high-voltage zones
At Al Tahani, we make sure all our safety gear complies with both OSHA and Saudi standards, so your workers stay protected and your business stays compliant.
Why Following PPE Standards Matters
When companies follow OSHA and local PPE guidelines, they:
-
Reduce workplace injuries
-
Avoid fines and penalties from authorities
-
Improve productivity, since workers feel safe
-
Build trust with clients and employees
-
Protect the company’s reputation
Not following proper standards can lead to serious accidents, legal trouble, and even business shutdowns. That’s why it’s critical to choose the right PPE provider.
