UAE Implements Noon Work Ban
The UAE government has implemented its worker heat stress protection policy for the twenty-second consecutive year, prohibiting working in direct sunlight from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM between June 15 and September 15, 2026. This policy aims to protect workers' health and safety, with exceptions for certain essential tasks that require stopping during this period or requiring special permits. Emphasis is also placed on providing shaded areas, cooling devices, and sufficient water at work sites. The ministry monitors compliance through smart tools and awareness campaigns and receives reports of violations via the contact center.
