UAE midday work ban for outdoor workers from June 15
The UAE has announced that the midday work break for outdoor workers will commence on June 15.
Under the directive issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), outdoor workers are required to take a break from 12 pm to 3 pm daily until September 15, throughout the summer months.
Now in its 20th consecutive year, the annual summer midday work ban aims to protect workers from occupational hazards and injuries related to the extreme summer heat. During these hours, employers are obligated to provide a shaded or indoor area for workers to rest, ensuring their health and safety during the hottest part of the day.
