Quality and Environmental Standards
Being an industrial enterprise, whose activities and processes pose inherent potential risks, AGMF is conscious of the need to safeguard the environment and to protect the safety and health of both our employees and residents of the surrounding communities.
We are equally committed to absolute quality in our products and the services we offer. We are in the process of acquiring international quality standard certifications.
Environmental Standards
Protecting is one of AGMF's core activities. Acknowledging the importance of preserving precious natural resources, our company endeavours to act responsibly to protect the environment around our operations. Minimizing harmful emissions and the adoption of a 'reduce, reuse, recycle' waste philosophy are central to all our activities.
AGMF's Environment, Health and Safety Code of Ethics
In our quest to provide our customers with high quality products and services, AGMF is committed to promoting practices that protect the environment and the health and safety of its workers and the community, at all times. Accordingly, we undertake as a corporation to promote:
- Safe work environments that minimise health hazards and exposure to harmful risks
- The use of appropriate technology that protects and preserves the environment while generating world-class results
- The implementation of ethical business practices of the highest standard
Environmental Initiatives
From an environmental perspective, minimizing harmful emissions and the adoption of world-class waste management practices are central to all AGMF's activities. We use the best available technology for production as well as mitigation technology for emission minimisation.

Occupational health and hygiene
AGMF has introduced policies to improve the monitoring and management of its employees' general health. All employees working in operational areas are obliged to undergo a series of medical tests every two years, allowing any abnormalities or unusual circumstances to be detected as early as possible. With regard to occupational health and hygiene, special emphasis is placed on reducing exposure to the prevailing risks - particularly noise-induced hearing loss, inhalation of hazardous gases and dust particles, and exposure to high ambient temperatures. Other initiatives implemented and managed by AGMF's dedicated Occupational Health and Hygiene Department include:
- Profiling job descriptions with regard to potentially harmful physical and chemical hazards in the working environment and monitoring worker exposure.
- Pre-employment medical examinations, including chest x-rays, audiograms, optometric assessments and lung function tests.
- Regular follow-up medical examinations for early detection of medical conditions, scheduled according to workplace exposure to potentially harmful physical and chemical hazards.
Safety
From a safety perspective, we consistently strive for zero incidents and lost time injuries ("LTIs"). Given that the main risks are heavy machinery and vehicles, extremely hot molten metal and high amperage electrical circuits, the formal interventions include:
- Safety training for all new recruits, with follow-up refresher training at appropriate intervals.
- Restricted access to operational sites.
- Safety-driven operating rules within the facility, including strict occupational hygiene standards.
- Road to Zero Lost Time Incidents.
- Campaigns to reinforce awareness of AGMF's safety regulations.
- Reporting systems for risky behaviour and potential hazards, which have led to substantially less lost time incidents as well as a reduction in the severity of incidents.
In Addition to the above we have also acquired a certificate from the Ministry of Environment of Saudi Arabia indicating our Factory's compliance with the Saudi Environment Standards.
