Bahrain to enforce two-month afternoon outdoor work ban on July 1

Bahrain will ban outdoor work during the afternoon in July and August.

The ban of work under direct sunlight and in open places will run from noon until 4 pm, the Ministry of Labour said.

The aim is to protect workers and ensure their safety from heat stress, sunstroke and various summer diseases, and to reduce occupational accidents during the hottest months of the year, the ministry added.
