The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) in Saudi Arabia has announced that it will implement a midday outdoor work ban from June 15 to September 15, 2023. The ban will be in effect from 12pm to 3pm, and will apply to all private sector companies and establishments.
The ban is designed to protect the health and safety of workers from the heat and sun during the hottest months of the year. The MHRSD has urged employers to comply with the ban and to provide their workers with a safe and healthy work environment.
The ban is part of a wider effort by the Saudi government to improve the working conditions for its citizens. In recent years, the government has implemented a number of reforms, including a minimum wage, a ban on child labor, and a requirement for employers to provide health insurance for their workers.
