Acknowledging safety

TSSP awards 

Highlighting Aramco employees, SMPs, and trainees throughout the Kingdom, the award promotes a safe driving culture and encourages participants to maintain a violation-free record inside and outside Aramco by recognizing employees and their departments. The award has two categories based on age group, the first category is the 30 years and below, and the second category is above 31 years. Annually, 25 winners are chosen with the top five departments based on participation rates. 

The award criteria gauges participants’ personal commitments toward a safe driving culture, as having zero traffic violations for the past year, supported with a printout from ABSHER, in addition to having a valid driver’s license, registration booklet, and a valid vehicle inspection.

More than 2,500 participants from 95 departments have registered for the 2020 TSEA, which is a 100% increase from the 2019 registrations. 

The participants went through a rigorous selection process, including a theoretical and practical test in collaboration with the Industrial Training Department.
