SAFETY HANDBOOK
Minimum Safety Rules
This handbook contains the minimum safety rules
applicable to employees, contractors, visitors or anyone
performing Petro Rabigh work activities. Compliance to
these rules is a condition of employment for Petro Rabigh
employees and a contractual obligation for contractor
employees. All the safety topics cannot be included in such
a handbook. There are many applications on safety - many
more than what can be addressed in such a handbook. If
you see an unsafe condition or behavior, do not disregard
it just because it is not listed in this handbook.
Please carry this Handbook with you
while on work for ready reference.
For additional information, consult Safety Department.
