Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Labour in association with New Medical Centre (NMC) is organising an awareness campaign for labourers across the UAE from Tuesday.

The campaign will focus on educating the labourers about taking care of their health while working under the hot summer sun.

Complementing the midday break rule that came into effect on Tuesday, the campaign will educate the labourers on simple and practical measures to avoid dehydration and illness. A team of experts, including doctors from the New Medical Centre (NMC) hospital, will visit labour camps for the purpose.

First implemented in 2005, the midday break rule mandates stopping of all outdoor work from 12.30pm to 4.30pm during July and August.
