He also highlighted the key functions and the benefits of the series of workshops, which will be delivered with representatives of various sectors attended for awareness.

متمنين للجميع دوام التوفيق،،،

The roll out of 200plus documents continues.  I did some amendments to the HSE ppts and attended a number of meetings. I have continued to write a Market research package for the new potential client on the prospects of offering TIFM into the KSA building market.  Next week I am travelling to Damman and Abha on Sunday and Tuesday respectively to deliver the HSE training packages to the STC employees and the contractors.

The roll out of 200plus documents continues to all the stakeholders.  Discussions and meetings have continued, as we are the preferred bidder on expanding what HPE TFM is offering full IFM for STC into the ever increasing KSA market.  I have completed putting together five HSE training sessions, that I will start delivering next week.  These sessions will start in Riyadh but will be travelling to the provinces’ in the coming weeks to deliver the sessions to the contract supervisors.
