Introduction

 

As part of Saudi Arabia’s continuous efforts to enhance safety and risk prevention, the General Directorate of Civil Defense launched Salama Portal, a comprehensive electronic platform for managing all safety–related permits and applications.

The portal enables commercial, industrial and service facilities to complete their Civil Defense procedures online, reducing time and effort and improving compliance with the Saudi Building Code and safety regulations.

 

Eng. Mosbeh Assaf Office for Safety Engineering Consultations supports facility owners in using the Salama Portal effectively and in obtaining their safety permits smoothly and in full compliance.

 

What is Salama Portal?

 

Salama Portal is the official digital platform of the Saudi Civil Defense designed to handle all safety permits and approvals online, including:

 

Civil Defense safety permits for new and existing facilities.

 

Initial and final safety approvals.

 

Safety license renewals.

 

Technical inspection and safety reports follow-up.

 

It replaces many traditional, paper-based procedures with an integrated and user-friendly online system.

 

Main objectives of Salama Portal

 

1. Simplifying procedures

Salama makes it easier for facility owners and operators to submit applications, upload documents and track their status without visiting multiple offices or handling complex manual paperwork.

 

2. Improving compliance

The platform is built around Saudi Civil Defense requirements and the Saudi Building Code, which helps facilities understand safety requirements and correctly implement fire alarm, firefighting and emergency systems.

 

3. Enhancing safety levels

By linking permit issuance to technical requirements and periodic inspections, Salama contributes to higher readiness of facilities to deal with fires and emergencies, thus reducing risks to people and property.

 

4. Transparency and speed

Salama provides full visibility into the status of each application, clearly showing any remarks or missing documents, which reduces delays and administrative issues.
