In line with the annual initiative of the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation to protect employees from the extreme summer heat, mandatory mid-day break has come into effect until 15th September 2023.

Working under direct sun and outdoors are prohibited between 12.30 PM and 03.00 PM to protect employees from heat exhaustion, heat stress, heat stroke and related illnesses.

In exceptional cases where continuous work is required, employers must provide workers with cold water and other recommended items by the UAE’s health authorities such as salt and lemon. They must also provide first aid at the workplace and get the necessary approvals from DAZ.

Failure to comply with the above will result in penalties.

There is no doubt that the ease of spreading infection from the COVID-19 these days poses a threat to our health, and the way we do business. Preserving our employees lives and health, should be our priority. This is the only way not to go back into lockdown.

Therefore, we must continue monitoring our workplace, and urging our employees to follow the UAE government guidelines. This includes practicing keeping social distancing of 2 meters, always wearing a face mask, washing hands frequently and using sanitisers regularly.

As we approach the end of year holiday, we urge you all to celebrate responsibly by adhering to safety protocols/guidelines and avoiding unnecessary gathering and crowds.

As we believe in our principles, social responsibility, and intensify all our efforts to move towards the recovery phase and contain COVID-19, we urge everyone to adhere to the instructions and directives issued by the official health authorities in this regard.

We draw your attention that the Health, Safety and Environment Department at DP World, UAE Region discovered that employees of some companies didn’t adhere to the precautionary measures, including not wearing masks, and gathering in large numbers in public places, putting their lives in jeopardy and threatening the health and safety of the community.
