The Presidency of Meteorology and Environment (PME) is one of the agencies that work with other agencies to promote workplace environmental standards and regulations in Saudi Arabia. With other agencies, the PME has the mandate to establish environmental legislations, regulations and standards and to ensure the enforcement of these standards and regulations.  The PME thus seeks to improve the Kingdom’s environmental guidelines and standards to create a world class environmental regulation system. The purpose of this system is to provide protection for both human health and natural ecological systems. The following areas are targeted by these PME standards and guidelines: air standards, water standards, noise standards, waste standards and guidelines, coastal zone management standards and guidelines and environmental impact assessment guidelines.
