Qatar Urges Companies to Ensure Worker Safety Amid Heatwave

Qatar’s Ministry of Labour has called on businesses to take urgent steps to protect their employees due to extreme weather conditions currently affecting the country.

In an official advisory posted on social media, the Ministry asked all establishments to follow occupational safety guidelines and take proper precautions during working hours.

Employers Told to Prioritize Worker Safety

Companies are urged to provide workers with the necessary protection, especially those working outdoors or exposed to the heat. This includes offering rest breaks, hydration, and ensuring the work environment meets safety standards set by the Ministry.

The advisory serves as a reminder to employers to strictly follow labour safety laws, especially during exceptional weather conditions.

Extreme Heat Raises Health Concerns

The warning comes as Qatar continues to face unusually high temperatures. Such conditions can put workers at risk of heat stress, dehydration, and other health issues if proper safety measures are not in place.

The Ministry did not mention specific penalties but stressed the importance of compliance for the wellbeing of workers and to avoid violations of labour regulations.
