Summer temperatures in the Middle East can reach as high as 50 degrees Celsius, making heat- related illness such as heat exhaustion, heat stress and heat stroke a very serious concern.
The blue-collar workers often work long hours, sometimes more than six hours straight, under the scorching heat - making the heavy labour unbearable.
The midday break has been made compulsory by the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation for workers from June 15 to September 15. The break is from 12.30pm to 3pm.
The Dubai Municipality has taken initiatives to raise awareness and educate the employers and workers about the consequences of these disorders.
The municipality's focus is on companies to improve the health and safety standards for workers.
In the current 'Safe and Healthy Summer Campaign', the focus of the Public Health and Safety Department of Dubai Municipality is on the employer.
The campaign guidelines contain basic information about heat-related illness - from employer or management inventions, workers responsibilities as well as precautionary measures to stay safe and healthy during summer.
