This initiative is a part of the Ministry’s efforts to ensure the health and safety of delivery service workers and provide them with a safe working environment.
The authority praised all private entities participating in the initiative, saying, “Delivery services are a key logistical sector, unique in nature, given that its workers do not stay in one place while the Midday break is enforced, and due to the nature of certain materials being transported that need to be delivered on time.”
The Midday break requires employers to provide parasols and shaded areas that protect workers against direct sunlight, as well as adequate cooling devices, and sufficient cold drinking water.
