Riyadh Municipality has achieved a remarkable milestone in the field of occupational safety and health by recording 10 million safe working hours in operations and maintenance without any significant work-related injuries. This accomplishment reflects the maturity of its field risk management system and the effectiveness of its preventive measures at work sites.
This figure serves as an indicator of the Municipality’s operational efficiency in implementing safety standards. Safe working hours are measured by the total time employees perform their duties without incidents resulting in lost work time, making it one of the most important performance indicators in this domain.
To achieve this milestone, the Municipality adopted a proactive approach based on risk analysis, detailed prevention planning, and full compliance with regulatory instructions for all employees and contractors. Continuous monitoring of field performance and regular updates to procedures based on results were also key components.
Municipality developed a standardized documentation methodology for recording safe working hours under the supervision of the Standards and Quality Assurance Department, enabling accurate performance tracking across various projects and enhancing transparency in measuring safety indicators.
Additionally, the Municipality implemented training and field awareness programs, periodic supervisory visits, and continuous updates to preventive procedures—contributing to higher professional awareness and a stronger culture of compliance across work sites.
This achievement exemplifies the success of the Municipality’s preventive operational model in protecting field personnel, improving operational efficiency and productivity, and aligns with its strategy focused on sustainable urban development, enhanced operational performance, and high-quality services. It also supports its vision to be a leading municipality for a thriving and sustainable Riyadh, improving quality of life, and its mission to foster urban development and a safe working environment toward a vibrant community.
