Summer working hours in open spaces effective from June 1

Qatar’s Ministry of Labour has banned workers from working in open spaces during the day in a bid to protect them from the dangers of heat stress during the summer. 

The Ministry stated that outdoor work will be banned from 10am to 3. 30pm every day from Saturday, June 1, until September 15.

The ban will be enforced according to Ministerial Resolution No. 17 of 2021 regarding necessary precautions to protect workers from the dangers of heat stress during summer.

The decision prohibits work in the morning from 10am until 3.30pm, for work performed in open outdoor workplaces and shaded places that are not equipped with appropriate ventilation.

Workers will return to duties in the open outdoors in the evening after 3.30pm afternoon.
