A safety consultant who reads the numbers.

Rayan Raja Sleem, HSE consultant in Riyadh Riyadh · Est. 2014

My work sits at the intersection of compliance and culture — turning raw site observations into measurable safety performance.

I've spent 10+ years cutting workplace injuries by 40–60% across major construction and facility-management projects in Saudi Arabia, governing risk frameworks for projects valued up to SAR 500M and driving full alignment with ISO 45001, 14001 and 9001.

I care about the systems behind the systems: the digital reporting pipelines that catch a hazard before it escalates, the subcontractor pre-qualification framework that lifts onsite performance by 40%, the behavioural-based safety programme that finally gets the night shift to file near-misses.

Currently pursuing Chartered Membership of IOSH via the experiential route — and available for HSE consulting, advisory, and leadership support across the Kingdom, the wider GCC, and worldwide teams.

Giga-project governance

From reactive reporting to proactive control

Situation
King Salman Park, 300+ personnel. Site observations were captured but landed in reactive reporting — leadership only saw the trend after it had hardened into incidents.
Action
Built a leading-indicator dashboard, re-engineered the subcontractor pre-qualification framework, and connected audit findings to a weekly management-reporting rhythm.
Result
Proactive interventions up +65%. Subcontractor safety performance lifted +40%.
BeforeReactive

After+65% interventions
Behavioural safety

Lower recordables through field behaviour

Situation
Saudi Space Agency project under UTC. Recordable incidents trending up; near-miss reporting was slow to surface, blunting any preventative action.
Action
Deployed a behavioural-based safety programme alongside enhanced risk assessment, then bolted on a real-time digital reporting pipeline for faster CAPA cycles.
Result
Recordables down −45%. Near-miss response time down −60%.
BeforeTrend risk

After−45% recordables
Control of work

Permit-to-work discipline at site level

Situation
Al Rajhi Tower under UTC. Permit-to-work governance had gaps; contractor coordination on a complex high-rise build was creating lost-time risk.
Action
Overhauled the PTW workflow, tightened supervision discipline, and closed the loop on inspection close-out across hot work, work-at-height, and confined-space permits.
Result
Lost-time incidents down −50%. Permit close-out cycle measurably shorter.
