This recognition marks a milestone in NCOSH's efforts to strengthen the culture of occupational safety and health in the Kingdom, through coordination with national stakeholders and the adoption of global best practices in pursuit of Vision 2030 objectives.

This achievement stands as a distinguished addition to Saudi Arabia's international record, placing NCOSH alongside renowned institutions that have previously received this award, including International Labour Organization (ILO), International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), World Health Organization (WHO), Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH UK), International Social Security Association (ISSA) and German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV)

On this occasion, Eng.

Their leadership has been instrumental in enabling NCOSH to fulfill its mission effectively.

He also extended his gratitude to the NCOSH Secretariat and all those who contributed to the Council's initiatives. He affirmed the Council's continued commitment to enhancing worker protection and achieving sustainable institutional excellence in this vital field.
