General workplace safety courses from Skills Horizon give employees and supervisors in Saudi Arabia the practical knowledge to recognise everyday hazards, follow safe systems of work and respond correctly in an emergency. Most workplace injuries come from common, preventable causes: fires, chemicals, vehicles and plant, manual handling, heat, noise and unsafe behaviour. Skills Horizon, a wholly owned Saudi company, delivers these courses for corporate teams in construction, oil and gas, petrochemicals, manufacturing, facilities, logistics and events, in a classroom, online or at your site.
