The UAE is cracking down on employers violating its summer midday work ban, with fines up to Dh50,000, permit suspensions, and legal action threatened. This crucial worker welfare measure, running until September 15, prohibits outdoor work between 12:30 pm and 3:00 pm to prevent heat-related illnesses. Employers must provide shaded rest areas and water, with inspectors actively monitoring compliance across the nation.
