The Ministry of Labour
today began its inspection campaigns to monitor midday break compliance with 18
teams across the country who will report labourers found on site between 12:30
pm and 3:00 pm until September 15th.
The campaign, now in its
eleventh year, confirms the ministry’s commitment towards labour rights through
ensuring their safety and health, providing a suitable and safe
environment, is one of the most prominent and important initiatives launched
under the directives of the Minister of Labour, Saqr bin Ghobash Saeed Ghobash,
and the UAE’s wise leadership, that handles preventive measures to protect
workers from the risks of working under direct sunlight with extreme high
temperatures.
The ministry earlier
this month began implementation of campaigns to raise awareness among employers
and workers on the importance of the decision which aims to achieve high rates
of risk prevention, also providing water and cold juices during resting
periods.
The MoL aims to
instigate 60,000 field visits to report compliance levels across the nation and
20,000 field visit with educational purposes.
The inspection teams
will document violations by filming workers on duty during the banned times and
reporting the images to a committee to take proper action against owners.
The ministry urges the
public to take any necessary measures to follow up on these issues by reporting
such cases by calling its toll-free number or through the ministry’s
application on smart phones.
