KUWAIT CITY, Jun 8: The Public Authority for Manpower in Kuwait has assigned an inspection team to monitor compliance with its decision banning the employment of workers in open areas during midday hours, as part of efforts to protect laborers from extreme summer heat.
The authority has urged the public to report any violations related to outdoor work during restricted hours by contacting the inspection team at 24936192, emphasizing that community cooperation is essential for effective enforcement.
In an awareness message directed at employers, the authority reminded that violations of the midday work ban carry penalties under Law No. 6 of 2010. These penalties may include suspension of the employer’s file until the violation is corrected, in addition to other legal measures.
Officials said the regulation is part of broader occupational safety efforts aimed at reducing heat-related risks for workers during peak summer temperatures, when exposure in open areas can pose serious health hazards.
The authority reiterated its commitment to strict enforcement and continuous field inspections to ensure compliance across all work sites.
