Working Hours From 5 Pm To 10 Pm During Summers Suggested - Temperatures Reaching 50° Celsius
MP Faisal Al- Kandari has submitted a bill stating that the working hours in governmental authorities during summer should be from 5:00 to 10:00 pm.
He explained this is due to high temperatures recorded recently, reaching 50 degrees Celsius and above, as this is harmful to the human body. Additionally, high temperatures subject State utilities such as power generation to tremendous pressure which could lead to blackouts and critical power failures.
He said the bill allows flexibility for governmental authorities to coordinate with each other in order to ensure continuity of operations and services. He added several scientific studies and forecasts revealed the region is experiencing a significant climate change with temperatures rising to as high as 60 degrees Celsius; making this bill vital for the stability of governmental operations, environmental contingencies and general healthcare.
Article One of the bill stipulates that the working hours in every service department in governmental authorities should be from 5:00 to 10:00 pm starting from June 1 to Aug 31 every year.
