What Is a Safety Certificate( شهادة سلامة  )?

A Safety certificate ( شهادة سلامة  ) is an official document issued by an authorized safety consultant or engineering office. This means that a facility, building, or system has been tested and passed national safety regulations. These are enforced by the Saudi Civil Defense and other local authorities.

Whether you’re managing a commercial tower, an industrial plant, a residential compound, or a retail facility. An issued safety certificate ( شهادة سلامة  ) is a legal prerequisite for opening a premise for occupancy or operations. At Alma, experts conduct in-depth safety audits and inspections, focusing on whether all systems, including the fire protection system, electrical, and structural systems, meet the required standards.

A valid safety certificate ( شهادة سلامة  ) not only paves the way for legal compliance but also minimizes risks, improves insurance eligibility, and increases stakeholder confidence in your property’s infrastructure.

What Is a Receipt Certificate from an Engineering Office ( شهادة استلام من مكتب هندسي )?

Another important document is a Receipt certificate from an engineering office ( شهادة استلام من مكتب هندسي ). This indicates that your project has been received and reviewed by a certified engineering consultancy. Often this certificate lessens that all construction/MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) work has been carried out in adherence to the approved plans and specifications.

In short, this receipt certificate paves the way for further approvals such as final safety inspection, Civil Defense clearance, or to issuance of a building completion certificate.

At Alma, we collaborated with other approved engineering offices throughout Saudi Arabia. To ensure that our clients get their Receipt certificate from an engineering office ( شهادة استلام من مكتب هندسي ) without delay. This process can be lengthy, as you need to prepare technical documentation, inspections, and other paperwork. But we do all the heavy lifting to help you with your application from start to finish.
