alrajhi bank has formulated a Health, Safety and Security Policy in line with SAMA guidelines and national Safety regulations. The objective of the Policy is to ensure the safety and security of its employees, customers as well as its facilities, fixed assets and documents. The Health, Safety and Security Department is responsible for ensuring the safety of all employees as well as communicating with the bank’s departments and conducting training programs for all employees in compliance with safety standards. The Department’s primary duty is to ensure that all safety methods are available at all locations, organising and supervising the preparation and implementation of emergency plans and establishing a review process to assess the effectiveness of internal emergency services and security facilities. Regular risk assessments are also conducted, and preventive measures are applied based on the risks that have been identified. Inspections, including both routine scheduled inspections as well as non-routine inspections for major maintenance activities or special projects, are periodically conducted. In case any hazards are identified, they are either eliminated from the workplace entirely or are replaced with safer alternatives. Internal audits are also periodically conducted, and evaluations are conducted for suppliers and contractors to ensure adherence to health and safety standards.

All employees of the bank as well as contractors are covered by the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) in compliance with legal requirements and recognised standards. The OHSMS has been designed to address all potential risks and hazards identified and implement health and safety standards consistently throughout the organisation. The Central Monitoring Station (CMS) supervises the bank’s safety and security systems and always ensures their proper upkeep and maintenance. The CMS works in conjunction with the Health, Safety and Security Department to ensure a rapid response to incidents.
