Dubai: A decision has been issued by the Ministry of Labour excluding some professions from the compulsory noon break during summer months.
Any work that cannot be interrupted due to technical reasons, to prevent danger, fix damages or temporary losses, or works that require traffic to be disrupted and need the approval of a government body, were excluded by the decision, issued by Dr Khalid Mohammad Al Khazraji, Undersecretary of the Labour Ministry.
The first article of the decision specified works that cannot be disrupted for technical reasons as asphalt and cement mixing and setting.
Works that prevent dangers or fix damages include work needed to fix water and sewage pipes breakdowns, electricity disconnection, traffic disruption or disconnection of gas or petrol lines.
