Plant and equipment maintenance is the other
method by which stakeholders in the Saudi Arabian automotive workshops achieve
workplace safety and health. In Saudi Arabian automotive workshops, plant,
machine and equipment so that problems are prevented, faults are repaired and
to make machines work efficiently. In some workshops, maintenance is a planned
program whereas in others, it is done on short notice upon a machine breakdown.
There are several reasons for which both types of maintenances are carried out
in the workshops. The first reason is for efficient and reliable machines,
equipment and plants. Second, there are fewer if any plant or machine
breakdown, implying less dangerous contact between man and machinery. The third
benefit of maintenance is cost benefits associated with improved productivity
and efficiency. Lack of or poor maintenance could also cause additional hazards
due to faulty parts, which can only be diagnosed and corrected during
maintenance.

the Saudi Arabian Occupational Safety and Health Law
the Saudi Arabian
Occupational Safety and Health Law, which deals with the Kingdom’s labour law,
tackles protection against occupational hazards, major workplace injuries,
industrial accidents and health and social services. Just like any other
industry in the Kingdom, the automotive sector is expected to comply with these
safety and health regulations. For instance, automotive workshops must adhere
to chapter one of this section, which covers protection against occupational
hazards. According to this sub-section, workshop owners or employers are
expected to ensure the workshops are in clean and hygienic
condition by providing adequate lighting, clean and potable and washing water
among other social and health services.of this section requires workshop employers to
ensure that the necessary precautions are taken to protect workers against
hazards, occupational diseases, the machinery in use thus ensuring work safety
and protection. Importantly, employers are required to post safety and health
information at strategic places within and outside workshops. These posts
should be made in Arabic or other language that workers understand. It should
also be noted that employers are not allowed to deduct employees’ pay or charge
them for such services
