Saudi’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has announced the move to ban mid-day working amidst rising temperature during this Summer.
Workers in Saudi Arabia will not be allowed to work under the direct exposure of sun for three months.
The employers must ensure that their workers stay out of the sun between noon and 3PM from June 15 2021 to September 15 2021.
The new rule comes in a move to reduce occupational injuries and diseases to protect the health of the private sector’s employees in the Kingdom and increase their productivity. It is in accordance with occupational health and safety considerations to provide a safe working environment.
